What did Nalin Kumar Kateel say about Tipu Sultan?

While addressing a public assembly at Yelaburga in Karnataka, BJP’s state president Nalin Kumar Kateel talked about Tipu Sultan. He stated, “We are devotees of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. We pray and bow to Lord Hanuman and we are not descendants of Tipu. Let’s send Tipu’s descendants back home. I ask people here whether you worship Lord Hanuman or Tipu. Then will you send those who are staunch followers of Tipu to the jungle? I am issuing a challenge – those who are staunch followers of Tipu should not survive on this fertile land.”

Medieval Islamist tyrant Tipu sultan forcefully transformed 1000’s of Hindus to Islam. The earlier Siddaramaiah authorities had celebrated Tipu Sultan’s start anniversary for 2 consecutive years. The BJP canceled these celebrations after returning to energy and has been constantly elevating questions on eulogizing the Islamist tyrant.

Meanwhile, the descendants of Tipu Sultan expressed their displeasure saying that Tipu Sultan’s title is being utilized by the political leaders at their very own comfort. According to a report by News18, Tipu sultan’s descendant Mansoor Ali stated, “Why is the name of our ancestor Tipu Sultan being dragged and politicized at every given opportunity? We have had enough. Political parties cannot use his name whenever they feel it is convenient. We will be forced to file defamation cases against those who misuse his name from now on.”
