The row over installation of statue of late Shivaratri Rajendra Swami of Suttur Mutt at the Gun House Circle has continued with protests by members of the Ursu community, in Mysuru on Friday.
The protestors staged a demonstration near the Gun House Circle and said that they did not intend to show disrespect to any individual or personality but were only concerned that a section of people were illegally installing a statue and wanted the police to act against it.
The statue was installed a few weeks ago in a surreptitious manner at night and the erstwhile royal family of Wadiyars had staked claim to the place and wanted to install the statue of late Srikantadutta Narasimharaja Wadiyar.
