Tipu Jayanti will spell doom for Cong: BJP

Bengaluru, Oct 24: The BJP on Monday continued its tirade against the state government for its decision to celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti on November 10, even as the ruling Congress accused the saffron party of double standards on the issue.

“The Tipu Jayanti will spell doom for the Congress government in the 2018 polls,” BJP Yuva Morcha state president and MP Pratap Simha said at a state-level convention organised by the Anti-Tipu Sultan Jayanti Forum here. “There was a fire mishap on the sets of a serial on Tipu Sultan that filmmaker Sanjay Khan was doing. Vijay Mallya, who bought Tipu Sultan’s sword, lost his business. Similarly, Siddaramaiah is celebrating Tipu Sultan and his political empire, too, will fall,” he said.

From October 25 to November 10, the Anti-Tipu Sultan Jayanti Forum will stage protests and rallies, its convenor Addanda Cariappa said.

The Congress, however, defended the Tipu Jayanti. “Tipu Sultan was a patriot. No one can change history,” former Union Minister C K Jaffer Sharief said. “BJP leaders are opposing Tipu Jayanti to appease a few people,” he said. KPCC president G Parameshwara, too, hit out at BJP. “Their opposition only shows their mentality.”

The Congress recently released a picture of BJP leader Jagadish Shettar participating in a Tipu Sultan Jayanti when he was the chief minister, accusing the saffron party of double standards.

Siddaramia is upset over the PM's statement This means money will be released for states that don't support the Centre's development agenda. development and not for publicity gimmicks like Tipu Jayanti. Why not a Purnayya Jayanti, Vishweshwariyya Jayanti, N.R. Narayana murthy Jayanthi? They have done more for the state and the country than Tipu.

LOL .. literally ROFL .. 'Tipu Sultan was a patriot' .. because he fought against the British ? It was just a bid to survive the British .. simply because my enemy fought another enemy of mine maketh not a friend.
To call him a patriot .. what does this 'sultan' have in common with India and its culture ? Too much liberalism in selectively interpreting history of invaders and colonizers.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

There is 2 side for Terrorism, none have dare to attack or bombing unless there is hand from IB, Police and Intelligence (Also RSS support). Frequent bombings or terror attacks was stopped when Hemant Karkare emerged as true officer.
