Andhra MLAs and local religious fanatics planning to install the tyrant ruler Tipu Sultan’s statue

BJP leaders arrested for opposing the installation

• Result of not erasing the memories of the British and Islamic invaders in 74 years of independence. Will the Government address the issue at least now ?
• What if the people idolising Tipu Sultan today, commit anti-Hindu acts like him tomorrow ?
• In Hindu-majority India, the great revolutionary Bhagat Singh is considered a terrorist, while the terrorist ‘Tipu Sultan’ is regarded as a hero. Hindu Rashtra is necessary to change this picture.
• Tipu Sultan, who slayed lakhs of Hindus, destroyed number of temples and raped countless Hindu women, is being honoured at many places in the country. Yet, no Government is taking any action against the culprits.

Hyderabad (Telangana) – MLA R Siva Prasad Reddy of the ruling YSRCP, along with the local religious fanatics, is planning to install the tyrant ruler Tipu Sultan’s statue in Proddatur in Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh. The Police arrested BJP’s State General Secretary Vishnuvardhan Reddy and other party leaders on 18^th June for opposing the plan. BJP leader and Andhra Pradesh in-charge Sunil Deodhar took to Twitter to condemn the arrest of BJP leaders by the Andhra Government.

BJP leaders warned MLA Reddy against installing the statue soon upon learning his plan. Since no action was being initiated by the administration, BJP’s State General Secretary Vishnuvardhan Reddy, Kapada District President Yella Reddy, former District President Ankal Reddy, President of ‘Kisan Morcha’ Shashi Bhushan Reddy, and other leaders reached the spot where Sultan’s statue was to be installed. They accused MLA R Siva Prasad Reddy of playing the politics of minority appeasement by installing Sultan’s statue. The Police then arrested all the BJP leaders.

BJP leader Sunil Deodhar has criticised Andhra CM Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said, ‘BJP leaders are arrested just because they opposed the installation of the tyrant ruler Tipu Sultan, who killed thousands of Hindus and destroyed as many temples’.
