One of the longest and most controversial legal battles in Karnataka -- the Hubli Idgah Maidan case which led to several communal clashes -- has come to an end. The Supreme Court, in a recent judgment, ruled that the Idgah Maidan in Hubli was the sole property of the Hubli-Dharward Muncipal Corporation and no other organisation had any right over this property.
'The Karnataka government has registered a case against my hoisting of tricolour at Hubli Idgah Maidan, which I consider a national honour rather than an offence,' Bharti said.
