The Karnataka government has issued an order to arrest Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil on charge of creating enmity between the people of two states by making an alleged hate speech recently.The speech was made in Belgaum district of Karnataka on April 7. An FIR has been registered against Patil under Sections 153-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 125 of People's Representation Act.The move is expected to snowball into a full fledged confrontation between the outgoing BJP government of Jagadish Shettar in Karnataka and the Congress-NCP alliance in Maharashtra.According to the SP of the district, on which Maharashtra also stakes claim, one of the sector officers-in-charge for elections from Belgaum City Corporation has filed the complaint.
