Tipu Sultan’s family has decided to file defamation claims against political parties for using Tipu Sultan’s name in political confrontations.
Congress and BJP are using the name of late ruler Tipu Sultan to gain an edge over each other in the Karnataka state elections.
Sahibzada Mansoor Ali Khan is from the seventh generation of Tipu Sultan, he said that he will register a case in this regard and also seek an injunction that the name of Tipu Sultan should not be used for political gain.
They said that in this way the sentiments of Tipu Sultan’s family and his followers are being hurt.
Sahibzada Mansoor Ali Khan said that we have spoken to our legal team as we are members of Tipu Sultan’s family.
He said that we have decided to file a case for defamation and injunction.
He said that whether it is BJP or Congress, no political party has done anything for Tipu Sultan, they have only tried to divide votes by using his name.
Earlier Karnataka BJP chief Nalin Kumar Qatil said that this time the state assembly elections are not being fought between Congress and BJP but between the ideologies of Savarkar and Tipu Sultan.
He later made a controversial speech during a speech to vote for Rama and Hanuman to drive away Tipu Sultan’s descendants.
