If I was Home Minister, I would have asked to shoot them: Basanagouda Patil Yatnal
‘Country is weak because of ‘traitor’ intellectuals under the guise of secularism’
Bengaluru/Vijayapura, July 26: Once again Vijayapura BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal landed in a controversy over remarks against the intellectuals.
“The country is weak because of the ‘traitor’ intellectuals under the guise of secularism. If I was the Home Minister, I would have asked the authorities to shoot them en-mass”, Yatnal said.
Speaking at Kargil Vijayotsava organized at Vijayapura on Thursday, Yatnal said that the number of those who have been conspiring against the country after consuming the food and water of the land was increasing considerably. The incidents of shouting anti-Indian slogans and pelting stones on the soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir should be condemned. It was unfortunate that the Opposition leaders have been making allegations that the ‘women were being raped by the soldiers’. If cases were booked against anti-nationals or traitors, the intellectuals raise hue and cry saying that human rights violation was being happened. But when the soldiers face lot of problems including lowest temperature while protecting the country, no one would raise their voice against it, he blasted.
He said that a norm should be implemented in the country on the line of Israel that everyone should serve in the army for some time compulsorily. This would control the politicians from looting the wealth of the country, he said.
When the sacrifice of the soldiers was being remembered across the country, previous chief minister’s media advisor Dinesh Amin Mattu has given most irresponsible statement. Pakistan and China were the major enemies of the country. Pakistan has never stopped its cunning mindset. When then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee extended the hands of friendship, Pakistan had back-stabbed him, he said.
