New Delhi: Police in Karnataka have filed a suo motu case against Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha MP Anantkumar Hegde in the wake of him saying that a mosque in Bhatkal will be destroyed like the Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh was in 1992.
“Like Babri Masjid was demolished, Chinnada Palli mosque will be demolished in Bhatkal. The media can write it as a threat, but we don’t care. But, we will do it. This is not the decision of Anantkumar Hegde, but it is the decision of the Hindu community,” the MP said, according to Hindustan Times.
As reported by The Wire, Hegde had also 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.
