Pro-Kannada Activist Vatal Nagaraj announces 'Karnataka Bandh' on September 29
Disapproves of 'Bengaluru Bandh' on September 26"
Bengaluru: Pro-Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj has declared a "Akhand Karnataka bandh" scheduled for September 29, calling for unity among Kannada union organizations. This decision was reached during a meeting led by Vatal Nagaraj, where consensus was reached regarding the "Karnataka Bandh."
Vatal Nagaraj clarified that their intention is not to impose a two-day bandh situation, as it would inflict severe financial hardships on their drivers. He emphasized that their support is exclusively for the Karnataka bandh slated for September 29, organized by a coalition of pro-Kannada organizations.
Addressing the upcoming Karnataka bandh, Vatal Nagaraj encouraged everyone to participate in solidarity and advocate for the cause of Cauvery from all directions.
In contrast, he noted that there had been an announcement for a Bengaluru bandh without a formal meeting. However, after careful consideration during their recent meeting, the decision was made to call for a comprehensive Karnataka bandh, indicating their disapproval of the Bengaluru bandh set for September 26.
Farmer leader Badagalpura Nagendra expressed that there was a consensus in favor of the Karnataka bandh and mentioned that some groups were planning to observe a bandh on September 26. He further conveyed that they had been approached to support the farmers' union but collectively decided to rally behind a single Karnataka bandh while distancing themselves from the Bengaluru bandh scheduled for the earlier date.
