We will soon witness a Hindu Century and Dharma Rajya: Anant Kumar Hegde

Mangaluru, Mar 7: Continuing his spree of controversial statements, BJP leader and Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde has said that the coming century would be a ‘Hindu century’.

The hardline Hindutva leader, who had called for elimination of Islam and change of India constitution in the past, was on Tuesday addressing party workers during the last day of the BJP’s Jana Suraksha Yatra at Kulai in Mangaluru. The rally culminated at Nehru Maidan later.

Me Hegde said that in the new ear people will witness a ‘Dharma Rajya’ where ‘Bhagavad Dhwaja’ will be fluttering. “Let anybody say anything, the coming century will be ours,” he added.

Mr. Hegde said the Hindu society has not been affected after “800 years of oppressive rule”. “Hindus are slow in rising up. But once we rise, the world falls at our feet.”

Recalling the murder of local youth Deepak Rao, following which Hindutva forces had murdered innocent elderly Muslim man Ahmed Basheer in Mangaluru, the minister said that the reaction would have been stronger but for democracy.
