Mangaluru: RSS leader Prabhakar Bhat compares Ullal to Pakistan; police officials refuse to comment
Mangaluru: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat has once again stirred controversy with a controversial remark, a video of which has now gone viral in local circles. In the video, Bhat can be heard comparing Ullal and ‘other parts of the country’ to Pakistan.
In the video, Bhat is addressing an event and has said “Ullal, along with few other parts of the country are now similar to Pakistan”.
According to the reports, Bhat made the remarks when he was addressing an event at the Keshav Shishumandir in Kinya village of Mangaluru Taluk, the event reportedly was held on Sunday, November 1. The video is now doing rounds across social media platforms.
“If you visit Ullal, don’t you feel like you are in Pakistan? Several parts of the country have now become Pakistan” Bhat has said in the video.
“If you have one child at the house, that child becomes selfish. If you have multiple kids, you will have more joy and happiness in the house. Now the population of Hindus in society is less. Ask anyone in Kinya who is there all around? And I don’t have to mention Ullal. Who will save our temples? Who will save our cultures and traditions? Why these places have turned into Pakistan? Our population has decreased, their population has increased. This is how Pakistan and Bangladesh were created” Bhat added in the video.
Reacting to Bhat’s video, Ishwar Ullal, a Management member of Uma Maheshwari temple in Kapikad-Ullal said “Ullal is a peaceful place, there is the atmosphere like Pakistan as remarked by Bhat. Both Hindus and Muslims are living with unity. These BJP and RSS people want to disturb peace and harmony in the region, hence they are giving such statements”.
“This is a provocative speech powered by BJP through Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, the motive behind this remark is to communalize the region and to take political mileage. People in and around Ullal are living with peace and unity and that is not going down well with the BJP. They want to create hatred among people and disturb the peace. BJP won 7 assembly seats in the district. And this is their ploy to win in Ullal as well but they will not succeed in this” Santosh Kumar Shetty, Congress’ Ullal Block President said.
Former councilor of Ullal Municipality, Dinesh Rai also slammed Bhat over his remarks and said “Did he say Ullal is like Pakistan? His statement is condemnable, there are people of all religions and communities in Ullal, we all live with unity and brotherhood here. They can’t disturb peace and harmony here”.
When contacted by Vartha Bharati, top police officials of the city refused to comment on the matter.
