Claim on Tipu Sultan's property

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, DEC. 20. Mr. Asif Ali Shah, who claims to be the seventh generation descendant of Tipu Sultan, has demanded that the State Government hand over the management of the property belonging to Tipu Sultan to his family at Srirangapatna.

Mr. Shah told presspersons here on Tuesday that last year, the previous Government had promised to rehabilitate him and allow him to manage his ``ancestral'' property, but since then no steps had been taken by the Government in this regard.

Mr. Shah said that Mr. A.M.Hindasgeri, Minister for Labour and Wakfs, had offered him a package regarding the property, which he neither accepted nor refused. He would continue his protest till a Government order to rehabilitate his family was issued, he added.
