Mysuru: Kannada Development Authority (KDA) Chairman Prof S.G. Siddaramaiah visited the CFTRI here this morning on the directions of Chief Minister Siddharamaiah, following a memorandum from a few pro-Kannada organisations and present a report regarding the alleged anti-Kannada stand of CFTRI Director Prof. Ram Rajasekharan.
The meeting began in a tense atmosphere, with war of words between the pro-Kannada outfits and those in support of CFTRI Director. The members of the pro-Kannada outfits were vocal in claiming that there was a completely anti-Kannada atmosphere in the campus. To prove their point they said that three members of the Kannada Sahrudaya Balaga had been suspended some time ago and in spite of repeated requests to the Director, he had not taken any action to revoke the suspension.
