Shivamogga, Nov 3: In the midst of tug of war between the ruling BJP and opposition Congress in Karnataka about celebrating or not celebrating Tipu Jayanti and also removal of his lessons from school curriculum, an Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) of police has sent shock waves by posting a statement in favour of Tipu Sultan.
Shabbir Khan, ASI of Soraba town police station is the person who has displayed ‘arrogance’ by posting a status on his WhatsApp account, which is not in the right taste for a government officer.
On his WhatsApp account, the ASI has posted in question and answer style status in which a teacher asks "Gunda, who is Tipu Sultan?", to which Gunda replies, "Tipu is the person by whose name the British and BJP people wet their pants."
BJP is furious at the post of this police officer. The BJP activists are saying that a police officer, who is in a responsible position in society, should not give one-sided statement. Local BJP activists are urging the administration to sack this officer.
