Ban circumcision among Muslims before stopping Hindu superstitions: KSE to CM

Shaastra Bhat Urimajalu

November 11, 2017

Bantwal, Nov 11: K S Eshwarappa, Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, on Saturday dared the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to ban circumcision, a common practice among Muslims, before trying to end superstitious practices of Hindu society.

This is one of the dozens of bizarre statements made by the hardcore Hindutva leader during his public address at BC Road town in Bantwal Assembly constituency of Dakshina Kannada district as part of Bharatiya Janata Party’s 75-day long Karnataka Parivartan Yatra.

In spite of severe opposition by Hindtuva elements, the Karnataka Cabinet had recently cleared the Karnataka Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices and Black Magic Bill-2017, aimed at curbing the superstitious practices in the society.

Coming down heavily on the CM over Tipu Jayanti celebrations, Eshwarappa said that Tipu’s blood was flowing through the veins of Siddaramaiah. Though the intention behind this statement was to hurt Siddaramaiah, the latter reportedly felt proud when the BJP leader linked his blood to the legendary Mysuru ruler, who had laid down his life in the battlefield fighting British forces.

Eshwarappa also criticized the Karnataka government for delaying the release of the much-awaited caste census report. It could be recalled here that BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa had earlier warned Siddaramaiah of state-wide protests if the census data was formally made public.

Eshwarappa also reportedly hurt the sentiments of some devote Hindus in the audience by saying that even the almighty God cannot stop B S Yeddyurappa from becoming the chief minister of Karnataka once again.

Karnataka's top most priority as per nationalists

1Rupee reward for anybody who does cicumcession to Eshwarappa.

Oh God bestow wisdom to these people who became as leaders.

If a leader can be of this lowest level of stupidity, what can be the mind level of his common followers.

Circumcession is widely practiced in the western world than Muslims because of its scientific and health reasons.

Bunder kya jane adrak ka swad.
