Daijiworld Media Network –Mangaluru (DV)

Mangaluru, Jan 28: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat triggered another controversy stating that if the people of Ullal have guts they should elect a non-Muslim MLA from Mangaluru constituency.

Speaking to media here, he said, "The land which is now called Pakistan, was with India. The people who live there, were all Indians. The people living there changed their mindset, after partition. The land completely turned red. Hindus who live in Pakistan face persecution. Hindu women are converted and temples are vandalised. A situation has emerged where it is very difficult for a Hindu to live.

"We witness the same situation in Ullal. Hence, I said that Ullal is becoming like Pakistan. I do not regret having made that statement. It should not happen and that is people should b alert.

“Same things are happening there. A few years ago, these people attacked fisherwomen when men went fishing. Later, a youth was murdered. Youths who were going on bikes were stabbed. Cow slaughter and ‘Love Jihad’ is taking place there. If this is not Pakistan then what is it? What is the difference between this place and Pakistan?

“Hence, I ask if you have the guts to make a non-Muslim as MLA. There are places where Hindus make Muslims and Christians as MLAs. It can never happen in Pakistan. It is not possible even here (Ullal). So, there is fear and that is the reason I said Ullal is becoming like Pakistan. Hence, people who live there should be cautious. People with such mindset should make their mind to live in India. They should be with India and be voice for the sentiments of people of India. We will never ask them to become Hindu.

“Cow slaughter, Love Jihad and atrocities on Hindu and harassment of women should stop. People who leave there, should allow others to live without fear,” he said.
