Bengaluru: CM Siddaramaiah released a 14-minute video named “Karnataka namma hemme” promoting Kannada language.

The video “Karnataka Namma Hemme’ (Karnataka Our Pride) was released on You Tube on Sunday. The CM Siddaramaiah is seen advising people to be proud of the Kannada land as well as sending a stern message to ‘neighbours’ who attack the state. The video also showed Siddaramaiah’s association with Kannada activists since the beginning of his career.

CM further advised non kannadigas living in the state to adapt to the Kannada culture.

“Neighbours are our brothers and sisters, we must love them,” he says. “But we must send out a stern message that we will not tolerate any attack on our language, land and water. Protecting Kannada land and Kannada people is our responsibility.”

Siddaramaiah further says that he will not allow separatists to divide Karnataka. “A lot of people have fought to unify Karnataka, and now people, are trying to break the state for their selfish gains which I will never allow,” he said.
