Opposition to Tippu Jayanthi: Call for voluntary Kodagu bandh on November 10
Somawarpete, November 7: Opposing the Tippu Jayanthi on November 10, Anti-Tippu Jayanthi Action Committee called for a voluntary Kodagu bandh on November 10. The committee would hold a protest in Somwarpet and Virajpet on November 8 and submit memorandums to tahsildars urging the government to drop celebration of Tipu Jayanthi.
On November 9, a district level protest would be held in madikeri and peaceful protest would be held on November 10, Committee told reporters here on Wednesday.
He appealed the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bus, Vehicles, Auto Owners Association, various organizations and general public to extend their support to the bandh. Tipu Sultan was not a freedom fighter. He was a king. He had converted the Hindus into Islam. He had demolished temples, assassinated Kodavas. Such a cruel king should not be remembered, he said.
Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had earlier said that he would not allow Tipu Jayanthi if JDS came to power. Even now, there was a chance to cancel the programme, he said.
People of the district have been facing problems due to natural disasters. If the law and order situation was disturbed in the district in the name of Tipu Jayanthi, the government and the district administration should hold the responsibility, he demanded.
Committee members S.G. Medappa, M.N. Kumarappa, Manu Kumar Rai, Sharath Chandra, S.R. Somesh were present at the press conference.
