Protests burning of Kannada flag in Kolhapur
Karnataka Rakshana Vedike staged a protest in Shubhashchandra Bose Circle in Yadgir on December 17, and burnt an effigy of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to express their anger against the burning of a Kannada flag in Kolhapur, Maharashtra by activists of the ruling Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES).
The protesters demanded immediate action against the culprits for burning a Kannada flag, and shouted slogan against the MES and Mr. Thackeray.

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.
