Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde on Thursday tendered an apology in the Lok Sabha for his statement on changing the Constitution, even as he maintained that his comments were "put out of context".

Soon after the House met, Hegde, said: "I deeply respect the Constitution, Parliament and Babasaheb Ambedkar. The Constitution is supreme for me, there can be no question on it, as a citizen I can never go against it."

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, however, said that Hegde had spoken against Ambedkar.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan then urged the member to apologize. "Sometimes in life, we feel what we have said is right, but others may still get hurt," she said.

Hegde then extended an apology and said: "My words have been twisted and presented, I never said all this. But if someone was hurt, I apologize to those members."

The Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship at a function in Kukanur in Karnataka on Monday urged people to "claim with pride that they are Muslim, Christian, Lingayat, Brahmin, or a Hindu".

He said: "Those who, without knowing about their parental blood, call themselves secular, they don't have their own identity. They don't know about their parentage, but they are intellectuals.

"Some people say the Constitution says secular and you must accept it. We will respect the Constitution, but the Constitution has changed several times and it will change in the future too. We are here to change the Constitution and we'll change it soon."

The comments led to disruptions in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on Wednesday when Parliament met after a four-day-long break.

Hegde is correct.  He did not say that bjp has come to power to change indian constitution.  He actual said that bjp is in the power to respect constitution and respect all the religions.  Media twisted his statement.  Hegde is a silent person as like his Go matha.  He never says anything bad to others.  He loves every one and respects all religions.  He did not provocate the mob in Sirsi and Kumta who damaged private and govt perperty worth crores of rupees.  Actually he was there to stop any voilence.  He is ready to sacrifice his life to maintain peace n the society.  He tried very hard to stop people from burning police car and commiting murderous attack on police.   He even tried his best to stop people from posting rumours in whstasp and media that one Hindu girl was raped by gang of about 10 muslims boys and they even tried to kill her.   He even asked Honnavar people not to make Paresh Mesta death issue a big one as it was planned by insiders only.   Mr. Hegde is a follower of Mahatma Gandhi and he respects Bapuji very much.  He cries on death anniversary of Bapuji and hates the killer Godse.  He never visits Godse Mandir built by sangh parivar.  Hegde is eligible person for next PM or President of India.  He should be awarded with all kinds of awards ie. Padma Chakra/Padma Bhusan/ Padma shri for his noble nature and respect to all the citizens.   He will be remembered by our generations to come.   He will be a hero.   His face itself shows how decent and nice person he is.   He is ready to get slapped on face by any one and will never take revenge.  He is follower of Jesus and will ask anyone who slaps on his right side to slap on left side also.   Really he is a great person.  Media is trying to defame him.   I think whatever media doing against him is political motivated and his enemies are tryig to bring bad name to him.

He ate back what he vomited just because of the pressure by Patriotic Indian nationals. It is in their contaminated dirty blood that these anti-national communal Manuvadi Aryan  parivar neither recognize nor respect Indian Secularism, Indian Constitution and Indian Flag.

Shak.

Malappuram (Kerala), Feb 19:  children of a couple in a span of nine years has raised suspicion among police personnel here who have registered a case following a complaint after a three-month-old child of the family died on Tuesday and was buried.

Police exhumed the body, which was buried in the morning, and took it to the district hospital at Tirur for post-mortem.

The infant was the sixth child of the couple, police said.

"A case has been registered (for unnatural death) in the matter to verify the death beyond any suspicion raised by locals since five other children of the couple had died in the past nine years," a senior police official said.

The couple had three boys and three girls of which the third girl child lived till the age of four and the rest died before turning one.

"The post-mortem will take place today itself.We are collecting the medical records of the children who had passed away earlier.

We will identify the cause of death after analysing the records and discuss the matter with forensic doctors," Tirur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) said.

However, relatives claimed that there was nothing suspicious in the death of the children and that doctors have said it was due to some genetic disease.

"The post-mortem of the third child was conducted and the doctors said the death was due to some genetic problems. They said they were helpless," a relative said, adding that the family was ready to face any probe.

According to the locals, the couple had claimed that the children have died due to epilepsy.

Sources said the baby was taken to a hospital but was dead prior to reaching the hospital early this morning.
