Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar claims that a pole used to hoist the national flag cannot be used to hoist other flags
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar claimed that 50 lakh saffron shawls were ordered from Surat for the anti-hijab protests in Karnataka and accused the BJP of instigating protests by students.
“How were these shawls distributed overnight to students? We know who has placed the order and who transported them,” he said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
