A seething protest over Tipu Sultan ceases to die. VHP has called for a statewide bandh. BJP follows suit. Joins VHP in the strike. A clampdown upon Karnatka CM Siddaramaiah by the opposition ensues. The roar for his resignation grows. Opposition questions his stand on Tipu Sultan slamming him for the breakdown of law and order in the state. Questions raised now are whether Tipu Sultan was a tyrant or a nationalist. Yesterday, after a death threat and even a complaint being filed against Girish Karnad, he apologised for hurting sentiments.
