The dissatisfaction among KRV activists was fuelled by a recent directive from the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which mandated that all commercial signboards must contain at least 60 per cent Kannada content.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Shivakumar said, “In a democracy, everyone has the right to protest. We can’t tolerate anyone taking the law into their hands. I am disturbed that they (pro-Kannada protesters) vandalised boards and establishments etc.”
The ongoing pro-Kannada protests in Bengaluru pose a growing concern for the ruling Congress. Industries minister MB Patil warned that such incidents, like the recent vandalism of business places, could impact the state's competitiveness in attracting investments. Patil emphasized the need for pro-Kannada activists to consider the broader repercussions.
AAP leader Mukhyamantri Chandru claimed that the pro-Kannada fighters did nothing wrong and only did what the government should have done at the first place.
