District In-charge Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad, who inaugurated Tipu Jayanti celebrations here today, said that Tipu Sultan always dreamt of a welfare State during his rule.

Speaking at the celebrations jointly organised by the District Administration, Department of Minority Welfare and District Wakf Consultative Committee at Kalamandira, he said that people who are unaware about the history of Tipu Sultan were indulging in raking up a controversy over the issue and added that Tipu fought against British who were looting the wealth of our country. Calling for maintaining religious harmony, Minister Sreenivasa Prasad said that India was a secular country where people belonging to various religions, castes, culture and traditions lived in harmony.

Stating that the entire six crore population in Karnataka should participate in the Jayanti celebrations, the Minister said that Tipu worked for the welfare of the people and the title ‘Mysore Tiger’ would not have been given to him if he had any other intention.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Tanveer Sait said that Tipu Jayanti was not restricted to one particular community and added that the controversy behind the Jayanti celebrations were being created by people unaware of Tipu history.

Calling for a debate to resolve the controversy, Tanveer Sait said that though there was a demand to name the Bengaluru International Airport after Tipu Sultan initially, the Muslim community raised no objection after it was named after Kempegowda.

“The demand for celebration of Tipu Jayanti was long-pending. We are grateful to Chief Minister Siddharamaiah who passed the orders to celebrate the Jayanti by the State Government,” the MLA said.

Referring to yesterday’s incident in Kodagu, Tanveer Sait called upon the people not to indulge in violence and to live in peace and harmony.

He visited the Dograi War Memorial in Khasa in Amritsar and placed wreath at the venue of one of the toughest battles fought and won by Indian forces on September 22, 1965.
He also laid a wreath at the Asal Uttar Memorial near Valtoha on the Amritsar-Khem Karan road in Punjab and at the tomb of Company Quartermaster Havildar Abdul Hamid, A Param Vir Chakra recipient.

Modi noted that during the Asal Uttar battle in 1965, Hamid single handedly destroyed 3 enemy tanks and helped stop their offensive, in spite of being mortally wounded.

“Paying homage to CQMH Abdul Hamid. He was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously for his gallantry,” Modi later tweeted.

Asal Uttar Memorial marks the Battle of Asal Uttar, which was one of the largest tank battles fought within Indian territory in 1965.

“Our forces captured/destroyed over 90 enemy tanks by the end of the Battle of Asal Uttar…During this battle CQMH Abdul Hamid single handedly destroyed three enemy tanks & helped stop their offensive, inspite of being mortally wounded,” Modi said in his tweets.

Addressing the troops in Khasa, he said, “I have come to celebrate Diwali with you. I am happy to get this opportunity..”

Hailing the soldiers, the Prime Minister said, “It is because of your valour, dedication and dreams that the whole world looks at India with respect. It is not only because of the uniform but character of the armed forces.”

He said India holds its head high in the comity of nations because the generations of leaders in the armed forces nurtured the forces.

“I congratulate those who have provided leadership over several years to the armed forces,” Modi said.

His tributes to the “character” of armed forces come against the backdrop of protests by a section of ex-servicemen over the “dilution” of ‘One Rank, One Pension’. Several war veterans have returned their medals as part of their protest.

Later, he tweeted, “I spent time with our soldiers and we had a wonderful conversation.”
This is the second successive Diwali that Modi spent with troops since becoming the Prime Minister. Last year on Diwali, he had paid a surprise visit to Siachen, the highest battleground in the world, to spend time with the troops.

Earlier in the day, he tweeted, “Today on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I am visiting the border areas to spend time with our Jawans.”

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi also paid a visit to the Barki Memorial in Ferozepur, which was constructed in 1969 to commemorate the soldiers of the 7 Infantry Division killed in 1965 India-Pakistan War.

The memorial has a pillar in the centre, a Patton tank and a Barki milestone on the south along with a water fountain at its north. The 27-feet high pillar is built of red and white sandstone.
