Mangaluru: Reacting to the BJP Government's move to cancel Tipu Jayanti, Ullal MLA and senior Congress leader UT Khader on Tuesday expressed his dissent and added that the move was shameful.
Speaking to ‘varthabharati’ after newly formed BJP Government in the state cancelled Tipu Jayanti, Khader said "The Congress government had decided to celebrate Tipu Jayanti to mark the birth anniversary of one of the first freedom fighter of the country who waged war against British. It was brought in to aware people and younger generation of the sacrifices of our freedom fighters, there was no political or communal motto for the move" he added.
"Tipu was a secular ruler in whose kingdom people of several religions and communities stayed. And he safeguarded the interests of all the communities and religions" Khader added.
