Tipu Sultan had historic death fighting British: Prez Kovind
Addressing legislators during the diamond jubilee celebrations of the Karnataka State Assembly, President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday said, "Tipu Sultan died a historic death fighting the British." This comes after BJP leader Anant Kumar Hegde termed Tipu Sultan as a "brutal killer, wretched fanatic and mass rapist" and refused to participate in the celebrations scheduled for Tipu Sultan Jayanti.
