Karnataka: Journalists detained ahead of President's event - Unbelievable India

Journalists out to cover President Pranab
Mukherjee's inauguration of the Suvarna Vidhan Soudha - a Rs 400 crore second legislature complex in Belgaum - were detained ahead of the event on Thursday. A few political parties in Maharashtra have opposed the inauguration citing the border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra. An IBN Lokmat journalists, too, was detained ahead of the event and stopped from reporting live.

The construction of Suvarna Soudha, modelled
on the State Secretariat Vidhana Soudha in
Bangalore, is considered a symbolic assertion
of Karnataka's long-held position that Belgaum
is an integral part of the State. Maharashtra
claims that Belgaum belongs to it but Karnataka
has maintained the issue had been settled long
time ago when the Centre-appointed Mahajan
Commission in its report in August 1967 had
categorically stated that the city was part of
Karnataka.
