Mangaluru, Nov 2: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Prabhakar Bhat Kalladka has stirred a fresh controversy by comparing coastal Karnataka’s historic town of Ullal with Pakistan.

Addressing a gathering at a programme organised by a Hindutva outfit at Kinya on the outskirts of the city today, Mr Kalladka expressed concern over rise in Muslim population and decrease of Hindu population in the region.

“Countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh came into existence only because of increase in Muslim population. Now we can find Pakistans here and there. Ullal town has already become a Pakistan,” he claimed.

Encouraging Hindu parents to have more children, he said that when there is only one child in the house without any sister or brother it becomes selfish.

“When there are more children in the family, there is more happiness and joy. Now the population of Hindus is reducing. This is evident in this Kinya too,” he said.

“Who will protect our temples and our culture in such scenario?” the RSS leader questioned and called upon the Hindus to wake up.

Mysuru, Nov 12: Zameer Ahmad Khan, the Tourism and Waqf minister of Karnataka, who stirred a controversy by addressing the Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy as ‘Kaala Kumaraswamy’ has tendered apologies for his remarks.

Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Tuesday, Minister Zameer stated that he will apologise if remarks have hurt JD-S workers.

“We both are very close. Then, in a total of 24 hours, we were together for 14 hours. He used to fondly address me as “kulla” (shorty) and I used to address him as “kariyanna” (blacky, kaalia),” Minister Zameer stated.

“I am not addressing him as ‘kaalia’ for the first time. I have not said something highly derogatory. It is being made as big in the backdrop of elections. With love, he used to call me a shorty and I called him a blacky. If I had caused pain to anyone by my words I apologise,” he said.

He further stated: “Kumaraswamy had said that he didn’t want the votes of the Muslim community. But now they are attempting to purchase Muslim votes. Against this backdrop, I have made the remark.”

Minister for Home G. Parameshwara stated on Tuesday, “Minister Zameer and Kumaraswamy are close friends. Their comments against each other are not significant.”

Zameer Ahmad Khan, the Tourism and Waqf minister of Karnataka stirred a controversy on Monday as he addressed the Union Minister as ‘Kaala Kumaraswamy’.

JD-S on Tuesday demanded a public apology and resignation of Minister for Waqf and Tourism Zameer Ahmad Khan over his ‘racist’ remarks.

“Remember, there is no place here for your divisive policies. You have insulted the people by making ethnic, racist and discriminatory statements. You should apologize to the people of the state and resign,” the JD (S) demanded in the post.

Union Parliamentary Affairs and Minister for Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju reacted sternly to the racist jibe and stated, “I strongly deplore Congress Minister Zameer Ahmed calling Union Minister and former Chief Minister of Karnataka Kumaraswamy as 'Kaalia Kumaraswamy'.
