One killed, several injured in Karnatka clashes over Tipu Sultan anniversary

Bengaluru, Nov 10 (IBNS) A Vishwa Hindu Parishad activist was killed and several others were injured in a series of clashes across Karnataka on Tuesday, the birth anniversary of Tipu Sultan.

Reports said clashes broke out after supporters of right wing groups protested against the government's decision to celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti on Tuesday. Several groups had turned violent during the protests and threw stones at each other.

 Situation worsened following the killing of DS Kuttappa, a local VHP leader,  in Madikeri. He was allegedly hacked to death. 

Reacting over the incidents, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, "There is no evidence that Tipu Sultan used to convert people. If he was against Hindus, he wouldn't have protected all of us. He protected many known temples across Karnataka. He was the best patriot and loved his land".

A large contingent of police force deployed in the trouble torn areas and state home minister Dr. G Parameshwar is personally monitoring the situation.
