Former Minister and MLA from Karkala, Sunil Kumar, voiced his concerns during a recent assembly session, emphasizing that the religious worship of Tulunad should not be treated as a mere stage performance.

Kumar, who represents the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), presented a proposal in the Legislative Assembly regarding the inclusion of the Daivakola in the Pratibha Kanji program organized by the Education Department.

The Education Department had previously granted permission for the inclusion of Daivakola, a traditional folklore performance, in the Pratibha Karanji. However, Kumar called for the immediate abandonment of the order permitting such a display.

In response to Kumar’s proposal, Madhu Bangarappa, the Primary and Education Minister, assured that the matter would be thoroughly examined and addressed.
