BK Hariprasd is not a Hindu, he’s an anti-national: MLA Yashpal Suvarna

BENGALURU: Following the controversial statement made by Congress MLC B K Hariprasad about a Godhra-like event recurring, Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna said, “He is not a Hindu. He is a traitor and anti-national. If there is a neglected leader in the Congress, that is none other than Hariprasad”.

“Ayodhya is the political temple of the BJP. Hariprasad questioned which religion Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, but it is they who are installing Ram Lalla”, Yashpal Suvarna said. “Congress does not consider Hariprasad as a leader and that is why he has been sidelined in the party. He has no morality to speak about Ram Mandir. We have said that Ram devotees should come to Ayodhya as patriots and anti-nationals should not come. No such statements of Hariprasad would be taken seriously by the government”.

“Let him first review who was responsible for the Godhra train burning case of 2002. The anti-national mentality of the Congress is the reason behind the Godhra incident. B K Hariprasad is welcome to Ayodhya only if he comes as a Hindu. He just spoke out of Pakistani spirit. Rama, Hanuman and Lakshmana are the protectors of crores of devotees who come to Ayodhya. God himself protects everyone. There is no need for police and military force”, Yashpal Suvarna said.

Former Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has demanded that the government arrest Congress leader B K Hariprasad immediately.

Speaking to the media, he said, “It seems like a big conspiracy is being hatched by a national leader. If any one of the Rama devotees gets caught into trouble, Congress will be responsible for it”, he said and demanded the immediate arrest of Hariprasad and investigation into his claims.
