Hindu Jagarana Vedike district unit president M G Ayyanna said that the Vedike supports the district bandh call given by Tipu Jayanti Virodhi Samiti, opposing Tipu Jayanti celebrations by the state government.
He told media persons here on Thursday that there is a need to put an end to the minority appeasement of the state government. By holding Tipu Jayanti, the government is hurting the sentiments of a majority of the people. A protest will be staged by the Vedike against Tipu Jayanti and hundreds of activists will participate in the protest, he added.
Vedike district vice president Biddanda Suja, Madikeri city unit president C K Nandish and zonal president Ajjettira Kishan were present in the press meet.
