Venting ire: Activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike protesting atop a bus bound for Tamil Nadu at the Satellite Bus Terminus on Mysore Road in Bangalore on Sunday. BANGALORE: Activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike’s T.A. Narayana Gowda faction continued their protest demanding classical status for Kannada language. This comes in the wake of a Tamil Nadu advocate questioning in the Madras High Court giving classical status to Kannada. On Sunday, the activists went to the Satellite Bus Terminus on Mysore Road and stopped some buses bound for various places in Tamil Nadu. The protestors accused the Union Government of deliberately delaying issue of notification giving classical status to Kannada despite proof of the language meriting the status. The protestors climbed atop some buses and raised slogans against the Union Government, affecting the movement of buses for nearly two hours. The vedike members had stopped some Tamil Nadu-bound trains at the Bangalore City Railway Station on Saturday. No arrests were made.
