The reason for the anger of the agitators was the direction given by Mr Rai to Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase to arrest RSS veteran Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for allegedly inciting communal violence in the coastal district.

Raising slogans against Mr Rai and demanding his resignation, dozens of members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal blocked the road near PVS circle for some time.

VHP leader Jagadish Shenva, Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell and others faced brief detention by police for disrupting traffic through protest.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Amtoor, DK district unit president of BJP’s scheduled castes Morcha filed a complaint in Bantwal town police station against Mr Rai for blaming Prabhakar Bhat for Kalladka violence and allegedly exerting pressure on the police to arrest the latter.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”
