Udupi : Throwing eggs on the car of former chief minister and opposition leader of legislative assembly Siddaramaih by the miscreants during the visit at Kodagu and Madicare which was indirectly supported by the Power and Kannada Culture Minister Sunil Kumar.

Speaking to media persons at Manipal here on Friday, August 19, Minister Sunil Kumar said that this kind of act by the miscreants without the support of someone. When the feelings of the people become bursts, these types of protests will be held, he said.

Siddaramaih has spoken with insulted words on Savarkar several times. This kind of insulting attitude of Siddaramaih on Savarkar has not been accepted by the people. He is not happy with the people using “Kukkuma” on the forehead of the people, as such he is also not happy to see the photo of Savarkar. The attitudes, statements and partiality feeling on administration which Karnataka people do not agree with, he said.

When giving any statement on Savarkar should he face any protests and agitated heat? Whatever he says can be digested mentality time no more now. When he spoke about Savarkar in a lighthearted manner, he didn’t know the history of Veer Savarkar. He was the fighter for the independence of the country, that’s why we call Savarkar as Veer Savarkar.  He asks Siddaramiah to go to Andaman Island and see the condition of Cellular jail over there which floods the water from the eyes. Then, anyone can understand the cruelty of the British, he said.

He said that all over the state, the Veer Savarkar’s photos on the banners will increase when odd feelings exist. If anyone speaks insulted words on Savarkar, the feelings for establishment of statues, putting banners, programmes, processions on Veer Savarkar will increase. Hence, Siddaramaih was solely responsible for this kind of act by the people at large.

In response to life threat for Siddaramiah by RSS, Sunil Kumar said that he never supports to any kind of terror. We never believe in terror move by anyone. If he has a life threat, he should appeal to the police to get security, he said.
