Mangalore, Oct 25: The district committee of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) has threatened to intensify the protest if the union government did not grant classical status to the Kannada language within a week's period.
Speaking at the protest meet held in front of head post office here on Saturday, October 25, Sanur Sathish Salian, district president said KRV has been struggling to get classical status to the Kannada language which is ancient to even Tamil language.
