Don’t bring her (Leone) here. People are opposed to the event. Let them (organisers) organise events related to Kannada culture and literature, which is our heritage,” Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said. KRV office-bearer Harish welcomed the government decision. “It is a victory for us. Government has cancelled the programme.
