'Police should have shot everyone in Mangaluru violence': Somashekhar Reddy sparks controversy
Bellary: All those who are afraid of being sent out, get out of the country by now itself. We all will stay here comfortably. Police fired at protesters when they were attacking at policemen in Mangaluru. Instead of two they(police) should have shot all the protesters, it would impacted in declining country's population, MLA Somashekhar Reddy said in his controversial statement.
Speaking at a rally in support of the CAA, he said, "Do not hit to the streets by provocked from Congress party leaders. We are around 80 per cent in population. Be aware of the cause if we turn back. This is our country. You are only 17 per cent in population. It will be difficult if the Hindus come with sword," he said.
"Hey ... you are only 17 per cent. We are around 80 per cent. Be aware of what will be your situation if we turn up. This is our country. You must listen to us if you want to be here," he warned.
While justifying the statement of Bengaluru South MP Tejaswi Surya, he said, "the statement of MP is not wrong that people who are illiterate and have put up puncture shops are protesting against the CAA."
If Muslims give birth to 10-20 children, we will give birth to at least 50, he added.

Cummins doubtful for T20 World Cup? It's quite grey right now, says Aus head coach
Melbourne (PTI): Australia skipper Pat Cummins' chances of playing at next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka are "quite grey at the moment" as he battles a back stress issue that has affected his participation in the ongoing Ashes series against England.
Cummins returned to play the third Ashes Test in Adelaide after missing the opening two matches, picking up six wickets to help Australia clinch the series 3-0.
However, the Australian Test and ODI skipper will take no further part in the series and even his participation at the T20 World Cup is also uncertain. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh is Australia's T20I captain.
"Looking forward to the World Cup, whether he will be there or not, I can't really say. It's quite grey at the moment. We're hopeful," head coach Andrew McDonald was quoted as saying by 'ESPNCricinfo'.
The fast bowler was diagnosed with a lumbar stress reaction during Australia's tour of the West Indies in July. He underwent rehabilitation before being cleared for a carefully managed return in Adelaide.
"He's pulled up fine. He won't play any part in the rest of the series and that was a discussion that we had a long time out around his return," McDonald said.
"We were taking on some risk and people that reported on that would understand the risk associated with that rebuild. We've now won the series and that was the goal.
"So, to position him for further risk and jeopardise him long-term is not something that we want to do and Pat's really comfortable with that," he added.
The T20 World Cup is scheduled to begin on February 7 across India and Sri Lanka with the summit clash set for March 8.
Australia's first match is on February 11 against Ireland at Colombo. Although Cummins captains the Test and ODI teams, all-rounder Mitch Marsh leads Australia in the shortest format.
