Anant Kumar Hegde rakes up another controversy, mocks Kuvempu’s philosophy

Bengaluru Jan 17: The Congress mounted an attack on Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde over his remarks on writers.

Hegde faced flak especially for his take on Jnanapith awardee, Rashtrakavi Kuvempu, whose ideas he seemingly mocked without naming him at a Skill India event in Belagavi. He mocked the philosophy of "be a human first..." that is often attributed to Kuvempu. Hegde also went on to say that some people wore the title of 'writer' to get sites allotted by the government, while their writings made no sense.

"These are not Hegde's words, but a reflection of the BJP's agenda. He has already apologised once in the Lok Sabha for a bad statement. He should understand that his position carries some dignity," AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal said.

Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said mocking Kuvempu's Vishwa Manava philosophy was "an insult to all Kannadigas." Khader said Hegde was alright before he became a union minister.

"He's talking this way after he became a union minister. The prime minister should talk some sense into him," he said.

Who made him Union Minister ? He is the Biggest fool of century. Hegde can be in Media by saying good things. Is BJP govt Sleeping? Whatever Nonsense Hegde speakes, there is no comment made by BJP. I would Request BJP to spend on Hegde's Medical Bills. He badly needs to be admitted to NIMHANS. There are best doctors to bring him back to normal. Spoiling Karnataka's name by making nonsense comment. These guys need to be sent to ReHab !!!!

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
