Rahul Gandhi a foreigner born to Muslim and Christian parents: Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde
Bengaluru: Union Minister and BJP Leader Anant Kumar Hegde on Sunday once again called for controversy after he said that Rahul Gandhi is a foreigner born to Muslim and Christian parents.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday in Uttara Kannada district Hegde who is known for his fire-brand Hindutva image said “Look at how low they have stooped. The whole world is appreciating the courage and fearlessness of our armed forces after the Balakot Airstrike but he ask for proofs of the attack”.
He further questioned “How is a son of Muslim being a Brahmin and named Gandhi? How did he become a Brahmin?”
Hegde has in the past issued several controversial statements against Muslim community, Women and Constitution and has not apologized for his remarks in many such cases.
In January this year he had called Rahul Gandhi a ‘Mixed breed of Muslim and Christian’.

FIR registered against Karnataka seer over his remarks on voting power to Muslims
Bengaluru (PTI): An FIR has been registered against Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamastana Math seer Kumara Chandrashekaranatha Swamiji for his remarks on voting power to Muslims, police said on Friday.
He made the statement during a protest meeting organised by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh here on Tuesday against notices issued by Karnataka's Waqf board.
Urging everyone to unite to protect farmers and their land, Swamiji said that a law should be brought in where Muslims community don't have the voting power.
Stating that it should be ensured there is no Waqf board, he said someone taking away someone else's land is not "Dharma".
"...everyone should fight against injustice being caused to farmers...it is said that the Waqf board can claim anyone's land. It is a big injustice...someone taking away someone else's land is not Dharma... So, everyone should fight to ensure that farmers' land remains with them," the seer had said.
However, on Wednesday, Swamiji expressed regret over his statement, calling it a "slip of tongue".
He said Muslims are also citizens of this country, and they too have voting rights like others.
Based on the complaint by a social worker, the FIR was registered against him on Wednesday at Upparpet police station here, police said.
"We have registered a case against him (Swamiji) under section 299 (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita," a senior police officer said.
