Tanveer Sait slams State govt on Tipu row, says students should read Yediyurappa's scams in history
Mysuru: Former Karnataka Minister Tanveer Sait on Thursday slammed BJP Government in the State for proposing to remove Tipu Sultan’s history from syllabus of State. Sait added that students should be taught history of BS Yediyurappa’s jail visit if Tipu’s history is removed from textbooks.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday added “I didn’t campaign for celebrating Tipu Jayanti back then. The government decided to celebrate it, I welcomed the move. But now that BJP is planning to remove Tipu’s history from textbooks, it is wrong. It is betrayal to people”.
“MP Pratap Simha said history of father and son (Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan) should be removed from textbooks. "Should the students learn about the mining scam, Operation Kamala or about Yediyurappa’s jail sentence?" Sait said.
“The love for Tipu in the hearts and minds of millions of people is eternal. You cannot expect to remove it from people’s minds and hearts merely by taking Tipu out of textbooks” Sait noted.
