Multilingual actor Prakash Raj has taken objection to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s insensitive remarks in poll-bound Karnataka wherein the latter apparently tried to divide society in the name of Tipu Sultan and Hanuman.

In a tweet, Prakash Raj said: "Yogi ji orders people of Karnataka “don’t celebrate tippu sultan in the land of hanuman” dear sir.. what’s your agenda again...#justasking" with a set of photos showing BJP functionaries and BS Yeddyurappa himself celebrating Tipu Jayanti, complete with the headgear Tipu was noted to wear.

Addressing a BJP rally in Hubballi on Thursday, Adityanath targeted the incumbent Congress government for celebrating Tipu Jayanti.

During his speech, Yogi said that "When Lord Hanuman is being worshipped across the country, the Congress government in Karnataka, the State known for Vijayanagar Empire, is promoting the worship of Tipu Sultan. The Congress is insulting our rich tradition. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should have respected the feelings of the people while making statements about beef consumption. With continuous murder and poor law and order situation, 'Rakshak' has become 'Bhakshak' here, and anarchy is prevailing."
