Bengaluru, Dec 20: Showing their hatred for the freedom fighter Veer Damodar Savarkar, who was once praised by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, MLAs led by Karnataka Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah staged a protest outside the assembly after VD Savarkar’s portrait was unveiled inside Karnataka Assembly Hall on Monday.
This incident took place on the very first day of the winter session of the state assembly, which began today at the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi.
Opposition leaders staged a demonstration and sat outside the assembly on the steps to protest the ruling Basavaraj Bommai government’s decision to unveil a portrait of Veer Savarkar in the assembly.
Siddaramaiah in a letter to the Speaker requested the installation of portraits of personalities like Valmiki, Basavanna, Kanaka Dasa, BR Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and others.
Meanwhile Congress chief and MLA DK Shivakumar accused the state government of attempting to disrupt assembly proceedings through such steps.
He said, "They want our Assembly proceedings to not take place. They want it disrupted. They have brought this photo because we are going to raise a lot of corruption issues against them. They don’t have any development agenda."
