The Kalyana Karnataka Horata Samithi has opposed the demand for the extension of Article 371(J) benefits to the Indi sub-division and Muddebihal taluk.
In a media note, Laxman Dasti, the founder president of the organisation, said that the people of Kalyana Karnataka would not allow the inclusion of a single village in the ambit of Article 371(J) that accorded Kalyana Karnataka with a Special Status.
“We will not allow the government to add a single village outside Kalyana Karnataka purview of Article 371(J) which is exclusively meant for the backward Kalyana Karnataka region. We don’t have any problem if Mumbai Karnataka people launch a struggle and get a special status for their region. We will have to launch an intensified struggle against any attempt to snatch our rights,” Mr. Dasti said.
