Multilingual actor Prakash Raj on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde saying they were not Hindus.

“They say that I am anti-Modi, anti-Amit Shah, anti-Hegde. According to me, they’re not Hindus,'' Raj said at the India Today Conclave South in Hyderabad.

“When Gauri Lankesh was killed, some people celebrated her murder. These were people who were being followed by PM Modi. A person who supports killing cannot be a Hindu,” he added

Taking on Anantkumar Hegde, Raj said anyone who wants to wipe out a religion from the face of this earth, cannot be a Hindu.

Raj also hit out at the BJP on the Padmaavat row, “They talk about Rajput pride. I understand if Rajputs of Rajasthan are saying so. But, what it has to do with those in Gujarat and Haryana?”

Actor Vishal, filmmaker SK Sasidharan, and Dalit activist Kancha Ilaiah were also part of the panel discussion.

 You are doing daring work by telling truth. But They may target you soon. As they are sitting in Central Govt., Seat. Truth in India Does not have any value. best Example see what happened with Dr. Zakir Naik. NIA frames so many people with no reason. They release them who are arrested with nonsense allegations. Why NIA did not know when Terrorist Entered in Gujarath for 26/11 ? Was Gujrath Govt Sleeping ?

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.
