Mysuru: Strongly opposing the State Government’s decision to celebrate Tipu Jayanti on Nov. 10, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha has urged CM H.D. Kumaraswamy not to celebrate Tipu birth anniversary.
Addressing a press meet at Jaladarshini Guest House today, Simha questioning Tipu Sultan’s contribution to Kannada land and language, said that the government can instead celebrate Jayantis of personalities like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Abdul Nazeer Saab and Santa Sishunala Shariff, if it was a must for it to celebrate Jayantis of leaders from minority community.
