Can't change history, Tipu was Tiger of Mysore: BJP MLC lauds Mysore ruler against party's stand
Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP MLC H Vishwanath on Thursday lauded Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan on his birth anniversary and added that the administration, bravery, and valour of Tipu cannot be sidelined.
Speaking in contradiction with his party’s stand on Tipu, Vishwanath said “Tipu Sultan is a symbol of self-respect of the land. The administration, valour, and bravery of Tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan can’t be sidelined,”
“The allegations on Tipu Sultan that he killed 80,000 people and converted 40,000 is fictional. When compared to the population of that age, the argument will not stand. Those who do not know about Tipu Sultan are indulged in propaganda against him,” he added.
Vishwanath also said that Tipu Sultan is the only king who did not kneel down before enemies.
“It does not matter which party you belong to talk about Tipu Sultan. Despite being in BJP, I will say, Tipu is a proud Kannadiga, he is the tiger of Mysore. His personality is above all castes and religion. No one can change history. No matter what is being said, history will not change,” he said.
