Former mayor Purushotham said on Friday that Mahisha Dhammothsava or Mahisha Dasar will be celebrated in the city in the city of September 24 and called on the authorities to extend the cooperation of this event.
Mr. Purushotham said that the event would coincide with the anniversary of Poon’s signature in 1932, which paved the way of granting rights to the Dalits.
Purushotham, who describes Mahisha as the cultural icon of the Dalits and the Bahajan, said the upcoming event will be held at the town hall is the 14 issue.
He said that the Mahisha Dasar Celebration Committee proposes to give the statue of Dr. BR AMBEKDARA at the town hall, proceed to Chamundi Hills and make flower offers of the statue of Mahishasura. The phase program will start from 10:30, he added.
The former mayor, headed by Mahisha Dasar, said he would also invite Memor for Mysuru Yaduveer Krishhnadatt Chamaraja Wadiyar to celebrate. “Let him talk in favor or against the event, but his presence is important,” he added.
The program will start JnanaPrakash swami from Urilingy Peddi Mutt, writer KS Bhagawan and others will also participate. The author of Siddaswamy will talk about Mahisha.
The organizers who urged the authorities to allow the behavior of Mahish Dasar peacefully accused several individuals for the fact that in the last few years “difficulty problems”. The district administration should allow us to continue the action, said Mr. Purushotham.
Over the past few years, the event has become harsh weather because the leader of BJP and former Pratap Simha MP have loudly opposed the organizers of Mahis Dasar to give Garland the sculpture of Mahishasura.
Last year, BJP activists threatened a counterattack on the hills of Chamundi and forced the authorities to deny permission for both assemblies, although Mahisha Dasar was held at the town hall in the middle of strict security.
Mr. Purushottam warned against imposing a ban. The writer of KS Bhagawan and others were present at a press conference.
