Udupi: Pro-Hindu organizations plan to hold a protest against the government’s decision to go ahead with the celebration of Tipu Jayanti announced organisations including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and Hindu Jagran Vedike at a press conference at Udupi Press Club on Wednesday November 7th.
Addressing the press conference the regional convener of Bajrang Dal’s Karnataka (south) unit, Sunil K R said, “Tipu was a killer who demolished temples and churches. We are strongly opposed to celebrating his birthday. We hereby urge Karnataka government to immediately drop the decision to organize Tipu Jayanti. Tipu was anti-national and was against other religions. The government is not giving importance to the sentiments of the majority people. Because of Tipu’s deeds, Deepavali is not being celebrated in Kodagu district even now.”
When the media pointed out to the leaders do the Hindu organizations that the Chief Minister, H D Kumaraswamy, has advised people uninterested to celebrate Tipu Jayanti to stay indoors, the leaders of Hindu organizations said that they will hold protest in this case as it relates to nationalism.
