New Delhi: Karnataka’s controversial leader BJP leader Anantkumar Hegde, known for his communal remarks, once again raked controversy with his statements on mosques.
Hegde, who is a member of parliament from the Uttara Karnataka constituency, said that “the Hindu community won’t rest until more mosques are reclaimed”. His comment was made on the lines of Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya and the same location where the ruling BJP party is holding the consecration ceremony of the under-construction Ram temple.
Hedge is not new to controversy. Earlier, he had claimed that he would change the country’s constitution.
The recent communal statement was made by Hegde while criticising the Congress party leaders for being “anti-Hindu”. The Congress has decided to skip the January 22 ceremony at Ayodhya.
