Srirangapatna, Nov 10: Despite Karnataka government shelving celebration of Tipu Jayanthi in the State, former Minister, MLA Tanveer Sait paid tributes to the tomb of Tipu Sultan, at Gumbaz in Historic town Srirangapatna in Mandya District of Karnataka to mark the 227th birth anniversary of erstwhile Mysore ruler, on Sunday.
Interestingly, Tipu Jayanti coincided with festival of Eid Meelad.
