Priyank Kharge responds to demand for Tipu Jayanti celebration
Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge defended Tipu Sultan Jayanti restoration, saying Tipu fought four Anglo-Mysore Wars while RSS skipped all major freedom movements. His remarks followed Tehrik-e-Khudadad's memorandum to CM DK Shivakumar seeking reinstatement of official Tipu Sultan Jayanti celebrations and historically accurate textbook coverage. The proposal is pending before the CM's Office.
