First, the Karnataka government decides to celebrate 'Tipu Jayanti' out of the blue, while the rest of India celebrates Deepawali, knowing fully well that there is tremendous anger against Tipu and his forced Islamization and his massacres in Kodagu, Mysore and many other parts of Karnataka.

 Then the govt invited Girish Canard, well known for his servile Dhimmitude at the function to launch the so called celebrations. At the function, Mr. Canard deliberately makes a provocative speech, comparing the odious Tipu with Shivaji Maharaj and even going as far as to mention that the Bangalore International Airport be named Tipu Sultan International Airport.

 Girish Canard knows very well of course that he is going to offend a large section of people with his statements, rather, that is his SOLE purpose of making the statements.

 Predictably, Canard receives a lot of flak and a death threat or two. So now HE gets to cry victim and whine how he is feeling under threat and how his freedom is being compromised.

 The people protesting against Canard's comments are being demonised and dismissed as 'Hindu fringe groups'. A VHP activist died under questionable circumstances in Kodagu, but his death is being dismissed as an 'accidental death'.

 No one cares that a man has lost his life, but every libtard worth his tuppeny award is whining about how poor 'Mr. Karnad is being threatened'.

 No one is asking the Karnataka government WHY it took the decision to celebrate Tipu Jayanti, thereby polarising the people of the state. No one is asking Girish Canard, WHY he felt the need to ask for the Bangalore airport to be renamed. No one is questioning this attempt to portray Canard as the victim, when in fact, it is HE who is the aggressor.

 Once again, a few 'writers an activists' will now cry 'intolerance', maybe Canard will return a few of his ill-gotten awards and once again, all the blame will be laid at the door of the so-called 'Hindu Fringe Groups'.

 Once again, there will be op-eds in the Hindu and the Indian Express about how 'Modi Govt' has emboldened the 'Hindu Fanatics', but NO ONE will question Sidramaiah.
