Action against lawbreakers during Tipu Jayanti: DCM Parameshwar
Bengaluru, November 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that the government would celebrate the Tipu Jayanti this year also despite the opposition from certain sections of the society.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, the DCM said that BJP people have been opposing the Tipu Jayanti unnecessarily. In spite of their opposition, the government would celebrate the jayanti, he said.
Reacting to the mention of Ananth Kumar Hegde in the invitation card, the DCM said that his name was included as per the protocol and it was left to him to participate in the programme. He has good respect towards Chidananda Murthy. Every individual has freedom of expression. As per this, they have expressed their opposition. But since Tipu Jayanti issue was decided much before, the government would conduct the jayanti, he clarified.
BJP people have been trying to disturb peace and harmony in the name of Tipu Jayanti. But the government would allow this to happen. It would not tolerate if any person violated the law and order situation. He would discuss with the senior police officers on taking precautionary measures to maintain law and order, he said.
Exuding confidence that the coalition would win all the five seats in the by-election, Parameshwar said that BJP people were experts in luring the people and operation lotus. Chandrashekar has realized his mistake and returned to his party. The Congress has not lured him, he said.
Cabinet expansion and appointment to the boards and corporation would be made after by-election results. The government would follow the Supreme Court order in bursting crackers during Diwali festival, he said.
