Referring to the Portuguese Traveller’s book, Sirsa said that the world-famous Protuguese traveller, Fr. Barthoelomeo in his book has commented that Tipu Sultan was barbarian. Sultan tied the naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants to move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces.

Sirsa urged Delhi Speaker to immediately order to removal of Tipu Sultan's portrait from the gallery of Delhi Vidhan Sabha otherwise he will be forced to remove it. He said that he is politely requesting in Mahatma Gandhi's way but if his appeal will go unheard then he will be forced to use Shaheed Bhagat Singh's way to protect our heritage.
