Akhila Karnataka Police Mahasangha president V Shashidhar said on Friday that he would continue to fight for the welfare of police personnel.
He was speaking to reporters after being released from Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara. In June, he had given a call to police personnel to skip work for a day demanding fulfilment of their long-pending welfare measures.
He was arrested on the charge of sedition for launching a campaign instigating the police personnel on June 2. The High Court granted him bail on Thursday.
"Home Minister GParameshwara and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah conspired against me. They ensured that I was arrested and jailed. I was put behind bars for 85 days only because of Parameshwara and Siddaramaiah," he said.
" I did not have any intention to fight against the system or the police. I was fighting for the welfare of policemen.I was seeking the government's attention towards their long-pending demands," he said.
Shashidhar said he would not remain silent, but work for the welfare of policemen. He claimed that he was tortured in the prison. He was a constable before being dismissed in the 1980s. He founded the Mahasangha to fight for lower-rung police personnel.
