DK Shivakumar's 'Not Exclusive To Hindus' Remark Gets Royal Condemnation
Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has found himself at the centre of a controversy after his remark that Chamundi Hill, home to the famous Chamundeshwari temple in Mysuru, "is not the exclusive property of Hindus."
The statement, made earlier this week in response to opposition criticism over the government's decision to invite Booker Prize-winning writer Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate the 2025 Mysuru Dasara celebrations, has provoked condemnation from the Mysuru royal family and a barrage of attacks from the BJP.
