AK Hegde mocks secularism, says people should identify themselves with caste or creed

Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions by the government. With the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation. But, for this senior politician of India secularism is lack of pedigree!

Hardcore Hindutva leader and Union Minister for Skill Development has said that people without any pedigree were identifying themselves as secularists.

"If a person identifies himself as a Muslim, Christian, Brahmin, Hindu, it means that he knows what his blood is. But, I don't know how to identify these secularists. Those who do not have any pedigree, designate themselves as secularists," he ridiculed.

The minister, who represented Uttara Kannada lok sabha constituency was speaking after launching the website and women's wing of Brahmana Yuva Parishat in Kukanur of Yalburga taluk on Sunday.

"I presume there are no secularisits here. Identify yourself with our caste or creed. You know what your blood is," the minister said.

He has been selected to create communal tension before elections and polarise Hindu votes. He has no values other than being a street fighter and a trouble creator. A Frankistein created by BJP's top Delhi bosses. Talks about pedigree. The Aryan pedigree of Northeners are upto subjugate South Indians and Hegde follows the orders of his masters

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
