Bengaluru: In a bid to diffuse the situation that has arisen following the insulting remarks made by his close associate P. Mallesh against Brahmin community at ‘Siddharamaiah-75’ book release programme at Mysuru last week, Opposition Leader and former Chief Minister Siddharamaiah has appealed the community to stop the ongoing protests and demonstrations in the State.
Karnataka Brahmana Mahasabha President and former Advocate-General Ashok Haranahalli called on Siddharamaiah at the latter’s residence here yesterday. During the meeting, Siddharamaiah is said to have told Ashok Haranahalli that though he was present at the book release programme at Mysuru, he did not hear what P. Mallesh had said. But still it was wrong on the part of Mallesh to have made such remarks against Brahmin community.
