Tanveer Sait slams State govt on Tipu row, says students should read Yediyurappa's scams in history
Mysuru: Former Karnataka Minister Tanveer Sait on Thursday slammed BJP Government in the State for proposing to remove Tipu Sultan’s history from syllabus of State. Sait added that students should be taught history of BS Yediyurappa’s jail visit if Tipu’s history is removed from textbooks.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday added “I didn’t campaign for celebrating Tipu Jayanti back then. The government decided to celebrate it, I welcomed the move. But now that BJP is planning to remove Tipu’s history from textbooks, it is wrong. It is betrayal to people”.
“MP Pratap Simha said history of father and son (Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan) should be removed from textbooks. "Should the students learn about the mining scam, Operation Kamala or about Yediyurappa’s jail sentence?" Sait said.
“The love for Tipu in the hearts and minds of millions of people is eternal. You cannot expect to remove it from people’s minds and hearts merely by taking Tipu out of textbooks” Sait noted.

NIA raids multiple locations in J&K in Red Fort blast case
New Delhi/Srinagar (PTI): The National Investigation Agency on Monday conducted searches at various locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with its probe into the Red Fort car bomb blast case, officials said.
“The searches are being conducted at nine places in various locations of J-K,” an NIA spokesperson said.
The locations included the Handwara area of Kupwara district, Rafiabad in Baramullah district, and places in Kulgam and Srinagar districts, among others, the officials said.
At least 13 people were killed, and several others were injured in the blast near the Red Fort that shook the national capital on November 10 last year.
The blast was triggered by suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi, a medical doctor and assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, who blew up an explosive-laden car he was driving outside the iconic monument.
The NIA has so far arrested 11 accused in the case.
