Naren is hiding under my chombu.. haha good job siddu.. burnol is on high demand today..

Celebrating a Jayanti is not part of Islam. When we muslims will learn? May be this kind of things will add as islamic festival by our future generations. Stop this. These politicians and all the groups who are against it are just making this a political game and harm muslims. Think and understand the disaster this day will make. I pray to Allah that no one is harmed because of this useless, zero benefit celebration. Anybody who likes tipu and his achievements just pray for his magfirah at your home.

Needless approach by the congress govt. why don't the govt ban saffron organization if they really care about the welfare of society? Dirty politics. Muslims should not trust this govt and join to celebrate this event though we all know for a fact that TIpu was a great secular ruler. congress is playing politics with muslims as usual. Brothers & sisters please open up your minds and don't get into any kind of mischievous to disturb the peace in society.

Chaddigalige Burnal Bhagya.. Naren is hiding due to High security.
