BJP to stage statewide protest on Nov 9 against Tipu Jayanti celebrations: BJP

Mysuru, Nov 5(UNI) “The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will stage statewide protest on November 9 against Tipu Jayanti celebrations by the Karnataka State government,” former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader R Ashoka said today.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, he said that "there is no need to observe the Jayanti of anti-Kannada ruler and tyrant Tipu Sultan. He had killed thousands of innocent people in Kodagu District. Highlighting him now is an insult to the Hindus. The British came to India in 1779 for trade. Tipu Sultan had kept Mysuru Wodeyars under house arrest.”
“If Tipu Jayanti is observed, Jihadis from Kerala will spoil the communal harmony in the State. Tipu Jayanti should not be observed for the sake of votes. KFD, PFI and other organisations indulge in violence during Tipu Jayanti celebrations. The State government will only be held responsible if any violence takes place during the celebration. We will stage protest on November 9. Let the state government arrest us,” he challenged the government.
