KSRTC takes note of the youth’s post objecting to Hanuman sticker

Bengaluru (Karnataka) – In Chikkamagaluru, a Muslim youth noticed a Hanuman sticker on a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus at the bus station. Upset by this, he took a photo and posted it on ‘X’, tagging the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the KSRTC. The post stated, ‘Pictures of Hindu deities cannot be put up on public vehicle in this manner. Please take action against the driver and operator. ‘ The KSRTC while acknowledging his post, responded that ‘The matter has been forwarded to the Chikkamagaluru depot.’ The photo shows a small image of Hanuman on one side of the rear glass of the bus.

The youth, identified as Arif Arwah, is reportedly the General Secretary of the ‘Social Democratic Party of India’, which is the student wing of the banned organisation ‘Popular Front of India (PFI)’.

The KSRTC’s response to the post has led to allegations that the Congress Government in Karnataka is anti-Hindu. Many Hindus have targeted the Congress Government, calling it ‘anti-Hindu.’ One ‘X’ user wrote that this action is being taken at the behest of the Congress Government. This Government is anti-Hindu; otherwise, the KSRTC wouldn’t have responded to such a post.

Editorial Perspectives

Is this Pakistan or Bangladesh that Hanuman stickers are being objected to ? Action should be taken against those objecting to these stickers for disturbing the communal harmony.
