This comes in the midst of a line over Congress pioneer Siddaramaiah’s comments on the continuous Savarkar banner column in Shivamoggathat prompted conflicts on Independence Day.
Vijaypura, Karnataka: Police on Monday morning eliminated banners of VD Savarkar set up the previous evening by obscure people at the Congress party office in Karnataka’s Vijayapura. Police have expanded security nearby.
The move comes in the midst of a column over Leader of the Opposition in the state gathering and senior Congress pioneer Siddaramaiah’s remarks on the continuous Savarkar banner line in Shivamogga that prompted conflicts on Independence Day.
In the mean time, a BJP functionary today conceded his contribution in the scheme of gluing Savarkar’s banners. He said, “We are the ones who glued Savarkar’s photograph. Savarkar’s photograph was singed under the authority of Congress pioneers in Hubli. Congress has more than once made debate over Savarkar. They have consumed it.”
It’s anything but no joking matter that we have glued a photograph. Congress has involved the Savarkar issue for publicity. Congress ought to regard Savarkar and read books about him, What message is Congress attempting to send by consuming Savarkar’s photograph?” he said.
Prior, the Congress in Udupi locale mentioned the police and the region organization to eliminate Savarkar’s banners stuck on the walls of its party office.
We are concerned on the grounds that they (BJP) laborers introduced it today yet can later destroy it themselves and make issues. They have deputed a few police authorities for the security of the banner. It looks dishonorable. To that end we are having a problem with it,” said a nearby Congress pioneer.
Karnataka Police last Monday, which denoted the fruition of 75 years of Independence, forced Section 144 in pieces of Shivamogga locale after a conflict over Savarkar and Tipu Sultan’s pennants.
Last week, Siddaramaiah blew up against the BJP and brought up issues on the endeavors to set up Savarkar banners in Muslim-overwhelmed regions.
Siddaramiah had told columnists, “For what reason did they place Savarakar’s photograph in a Muslim region and eliminate Tipu Sultan’s representation? BJP is doing twofold standard legislative issues.”
During his new visit to rain-hit regions in Kodagu, Siddaramaiah affirmed that BJP laborers tossed eggs at his vehicle and showed him dark banners. The BJP said that individuals of the area had challenged Siddaramaiah’s comments which were “against the greater part Hindu society”.
Siddaramaiah said that he has chosen to lay attack to the SP office in Kodagu on August 26 to censure the episode.
