Early this morning, protesters, in a fit of rage, began tearing down Congress party’s flexes. During the melee, the police lathicharged the mob. One of them sustained grievous injuries to his eye.
Kumaraswamy said, “It is our culture to pray to Lord Hanuman on a daily basis. What the government is doing is nothing but its highhandedness. The police have resorted to lathicharge. One of them has been injured. Had he gone blind, would the SP have given him vision?”
On the other hand, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, said, “I am a Hindu, but I love all people. I love people from all castes. That is the reason why they label me ‘anti-Hindu. I believe in coexistence and harmony.”
Now, as a countermeasure, the Congress is planning to hold a two-day Tiranga rally in which Congress workers will hold aloft the national flag and march on the prominent streets of Mandya.
