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

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.

Its not the fault of the residents.  Sanghis are planning to approach citizins disguised as health workers and else to get  details of residents.   such trouble makers should be noted and handed over to police.   Police should arrest such fake people and put in jail.   such fake people are trying to terrify poors and collect money assuring to help them.   So, please be careful.
