Koppal Controversy: SDPI Objects to Religious Symbols on Karnataka Lamp Posts
Aug 29, 2024, 06:18 AM
A controversy has erupted in Koppal, Karnataka, over lamp posts featuring Hindu religious symbols such as Lord Ram's bow, Hanuman's mace, and Lord Venkateswara's symbol. Gangavathi, known as the birthplace of Hanuman, is central to the debate. The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) raised objections, claiming these symbols threaten societal peace. In response, the district administration, led by the Tahsildar, has ordered the removal of these lamp posts. The issue has sparked political debate, with BJP leaders, including Janardhan Reddy, demanding the restoration of the religious symbols, citing a previous resolution. Meanwhile, Congress has advocated for secular lamp posts, arguing that taxpayer money should not be used for religious symbols. The Congress government has been accused of removing these symbols as part of appeasement politics.
