JD(S) leader and former Minister H.D. Revanna has urged the Hassan district administration to take action against those who want a ban on Muslim traders in festivals.
Speaking at a press conference in Hassan on Monday, Mr. Revanna said the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police should take action against people, parties and organisations demanding a ban on Muslim traders. “We are all like brothers. Whoever tries to create rift and divide society should be taught a lesson”, he said.
He said all these years there was no issue of banning any shopkeeper. “Nobody can stop people of a particular community from entering a temple. Similarly, there should not be a ban on any trader”, he said.
