Bengaluru, Nov 4: Regardless of opposition from the Sangh Parivar, the chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led Karnataka state government is determined to celebrate Tipu Jayanti on November 10. With this the fight in the name of India’s legendary freedom fighter is expected to escalate ahead of the bypoll results.

"We have decided to celebrate Tipu Jayanti on November 10 in consultation with chief minister H D Kumaraswamy. BJP will be held responsible if there is any kind of untoward incident in the state on that day," said Kannada and culture minister Jayamala, following a meeting with food and civil supplies minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan here on Saturday.

Tipu Jayanti celebrations had caused a stir in the state since 2015, with clashes erupting in districts. In 2015, two people were killed in Madikeri when a group taking out a procession was stalled by VHP activists.

Last year, a (PIL) was filed in the Karnataka High Court, challenging the October 24, 2017, circular issued by the department of Kannada and culture for Tipu Jayanti celebrations throughout the state.

The HC had asked the state to file its objections to the PIL before November 2018.

However, the state failed to file objections, forcing the court to impose a fine of Rs 1,000 on the state government. The court will hear the case next on November 9.

The opposition BJP, Tipu Jayanti Virodhi Horatta Samiti and some right-wing organisations have already threatened to launch a protest to oppose the celebrations. They had earlier petitioned Kumaraswamy, who had also opposed the Jayanti celebrations while in the opposition, during the previous Congress regime.

Meanwhile, some pro-Tipu Jayanti activists have also taken objection to Jayamala's statement that the BJP will be held accountable for any violence during Tipu Jayanti. "The state government and minister should ensure proper security for people to prevent any untoward incident. Her helpless statement clearly indicates that the government is anticipating violence but has no clue how to prevent it," they said.

New Delhi, May 29: Opining that there is no harm in importing ideas from abroad Swadeshi Jagran Manch, an affiliate of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has suggested that India should take a cue from Pakistan and turn the “locust threat” into “chicken feed.

In an interview, Ashwani Mahajan, national co-convener of Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) said: “I saw an article which shows that Pakistan has turned the locust threat into an opportunity by converting it into chicken feed”

“If there is a good idea originating from anywhere, we should be open to exploring such ideas. We should adopt good ideas. There is no harm in that,” he added.

He also shared the article on Twitter and wrote: “Pakistan turns locust threat into chicken feed. Need to understand the idea and replicate it in India.”

The article stated “an innovative pilot project in Pakistan’s Okara district offers a sustainable solution in which farmers earn money by trapping locusts that are turned into high-protein chicken feed by animal feed mills”.

“It was the brainchild of Muhammad Khurshid, a civil servant in the Ministry of National Food Security and Research, and Johar Ali, a bio-technologist from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council,” according to the article.

Both Pakistan and India have been hit by locust attacks. These are desert locusts, which is one of the 12 species of short-horned grasshoppers. Swarms can comprise billions and travel up to 130 km in a day.

India has been battling the locust attacks with moderate success since December. However, the onset of monsoon could bring more trouble.
