Darshan fans disrupt Karnataka CM’s address with ‘D-Boss’ chants

The Story in Brief

Videos shared on social media Wednesday showed hundreds of fans of jailed Kannada actor Darshan repeatedly chanting ‘D-Boss’ during Karnataka chief minister DK Shivakumar’s address at a religious event in Ramanagara on Tuesday. The Times of India reports that Shivakumar stopped speaking several times and eventually sat down after appeals for order failed. He told the crowd that the government could not intervene in Darshan’s case because it was pending before the court. The incident occurred during the Sri Chamundeshwari Devi Karaga Mahotsava, around 50km from Bengaluru. Ramanagara MLA Iqbal Hussain also appealed for decorum.

The Indian Opinion

The idea that louder chants can secure political intervention is a poor reading of how a pending court case works. The opposing claim, that the disruption itself proves official bias, is just as careless. A religious programme should not become a pressure platform, and fans are entitled to their feelings without being entitled to derail an event. The meaningful test will be the court’s next order, not the volume of the crowd.
