Bengaluru: Members of a pro-Kannada organization stormed into a five-star hotel on Thursday to protest against the imposition of Hindi as the 'official language.'
The Home Ministry's Rajbhasha Samiti had organized a 'Hindi campaign meeting' at the hotel, which was attended by six MPs, sources said.
Raising slogans against the event, the activists alleged that it was an attempt to impose Hindi on non-Hindi-speaking states.
The protest created a tense atmosphere, but the police intervened swiftly. Officers from the High Grounds police station arrived at the scene and detained several activists for entering the venue without prior notice.
