Bengaluru: Newly appointed Chairman of Karnataka Minority Welfare Department and MLC Abdul Azeem, on Wednesday welcomed state government’s move to stop Tipu Jayanti celebrations in the state and added that worshipping an individual was barred in Islam.
Speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi on Wednesday Abdul Azeem slammed former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for initiating celebration of Tipu Jayanti for vote bank politics.
“Nobody knows with whose consultation Siddaramaiah initiated celebrating Tipu Jayanti during his tenure. It was done to get minority votes. Yediyurappa led BJP government has done the right thing in abrogating the celebrations” he told reporters.
Abdul Azeem however did not agree with Chief Minister Yediyurappa’s comment that the government will remove Tipu Sultan from history textbooks of state syllabus. “That is not right. I will discuss the issue with Yediyurappa” he added.
