Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha members passed a resolution seeking renaming of the Hubballi Airport after Sri Basaveshwara, the 12th century reformer saint.
In a meeting in Hubballi on Sunday, Dharwad district unit president of the Mahasabha M.V. Gongadashetty presented the proposal and the members passed it unanimously.
Their other demands include renaming a metro station in Bengaluru after the reformer, re-installing his statue at Basaveshwara Park in Hubballi and strict action against those who sent threatening letters to Sri Nijagunanda Swami.
