Mangaluru: BJP protests against Tipu Jayanti celebration
Siddaramaiah is big fanatic than Tipu
Mangaluru: Opposing the celebration of Hazrat Tipu Sultan Jayanti, the D.K. district BJP staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on Friday.
Addressing the protesters, MP Nalin Kumar said, "let Chief Minister Kumaraswamy celebrate the Siddaramaiah Jayanti instead of celebrating Tipu Jayanti. Because Siddaramaiah is a big fanatic than Tippu," he accused.
"Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah began celebrating Tipu Jayanti in 2015 to provoke people's sentiments. Muslims never asked to celebrate Tipu Jayanti. Siddaramaiah has started this for political reasons, "Nalin said.
MLAs Vedavyas Kamath, Bharat Shetty, party leaders Anwar Manipady, Pratap Simha Nayak, Santosh Kumar Boliyar and former MLA Yogish Bhat participated in the protest.
