Karnataka Bandh Called Off
HUBBALLI: The Karnataka bandh called by several organisations on December 31 under the leadership of Vatal Nagaraj, the leader of the Kannada Okkuta, has been postponed.
Vatal Nagaraj took this decision after attending a meeting with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Bengaluru on Thursday, December 30.
Last week, Kannada organisations had called for a day-long state wide bandh on December 31, demanding a complete ban on the activities of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samithi in the state over its repeated involvement in “anti-Karnataka and anti-Kannada activities”.
Vatal Nagaraj said, “the bandh planned for tomorrow has been called off and postponed to another date.”
