Bangalore: BJP MLA from Shivamogga in Karnataka and former minister KS Eshwarappa has received a threat. Eshwarappa has lodged a complaint with the police. According to Eshwarappa, he has been threatened that his tongue will be chopped off if he calls Tipu Sultan a 'Muslim goon.' In fact, there was a fierce ruckus about the poster of freedom fighters Veer Savarkar and Tipu Sultan on Independence Day in Shivamogga.
After this, some fundamentalists stabbed the Hindu youth here. After this, the police imposed Section 144. Since then, there has been a continuous ruckus about Savarkar and Tipu Sultan. Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Shivamogga KS Eshwarappa has received this threat. This threat has been given to him over his 'Muslim goon' statement. It is written in the letter that "You tell our freedom fighter Tipu Sultan a Muslims goon. You need cement bricks to build a college in Haveri's Byadgi taluk, but you don't want Muslims. In the threatening letter sent to Eshwarappa, it is said that you should be ashamed of yourself. If Tipu Sultan is now called a 'Muslim goon,' their tongue will be cut off. Be careful.
Karnataka HC did not consider Tipu Sultan as a freedom fighter:
Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Subhra Kamal Mukherjee had said during the hearing of a case, 'What is the logic behind celebrating Tipu Sultan's Jayanti? He was not a freedom fighter. He had fought opponents just for his own interests.' At the same time, in the 19th century, British government official and author William Logan has written in his book 'Malabar Manual' that Tipu Sultan had caused terrible destruction in Calicut with 30 thousand soldiers. He had demolished temples and churches in the city and forcibly married Hindus and Christian women to Muslim youths. Anyone who refused to convert to Islam was killed by Tipu Sultan.
