Bengaluru, June 22: There are no instances of naming the Hajj Bhavans after any personalities in the state. It is against the Islam. So, if the state government named Hajj Bhavan after Tippu, the BJP would not accept it and protest against it, said Lok Sabha Member and BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje.

Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Friday, she said that she would strongly condemn the statement of Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan that the government is mulling to name the Hajj Bhavan after ‘fanatic’ Tippu Sultan.

The JDS-Congress coalition government is busy in doing its own work instead of responding to the people who have been suffering due to rains. For the last one month, there is no government in the state. Newly appointed ministers are not active. On the lines of previous government, this government is also conspiring to divert the attention of the people through disputes, she blasted.

Minister Zameer Ahmed is indulging in appeasement politics by giving controversial statement. The Kumaraswamy government is also marching the same path where Siddaramaiah tread by introducing the Tippu Sultan jayanti, she said.
