Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, speaking at a press conference at the Vidhana Soudha, said, “The council of ministers strongly urges the honorable Governor to withdraw the notice issued to CM Siddaramaiah and reject the petition by TJ Abraham. We make this appeal with all humility. This is an attack on democracy and the Constitution.”

The show cause notice, dated July 26, stated, “Upon reviewing the request for prosecution, the allegations against you appear serious and plausible. A complaint has already been filed against you in the Lokayukta police station in Mysuru by the petitioner on July 18.”
