Mangaluru, Nov 2: Stirring yet another controversty, RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday November 2 said that the Muslim-dominated Ullal constituency has become 'like Pakistan'.

Speaking in a programme at Kinya, Bhat further said that 'Hindus must awaken to ensure that there is someone to protect the temples'.

"Pakistan and Bangladesh came into being as the Muslim population began to rise. Similarly, Ullal and other such places have become like Pakistan," he said.

"When there is only one child in the house, without any sister or brother, the child becomes selfish. When there are more children in the family, there is more happiness and joy. I feel that population of Hindus is low in places like Kinya and Ullal. In such a scenario, will be there to protect our temples, practices and culture?" he said.

"How did Pakistan come into being? It is because their (Muslim's) population increased. That is why Pakistan and Bangladesh came into being. Now if you go to Ullal, has it not become like Pakistan? Can it be anything else? Pakistan has formed in Ullal and other places," he said, adding, "This is why there is a social responsibility on every married person."

Kalladka Bhat's remarks are likely to create a political storm in the coastal region. The statements have already been aired on national news channels, and it is likely that the opposition may demand action against Bhat or file a complaint.
