Speaking to reporters after taking the blessings of Dr. Shreeshivakumar Swamiji on Saturday at Siddaganga Math, he said "first I am a Kannadiga and then a Muslim. I apologize to the people of the state for swearing-in in English. Kannada was not compulsory in the convent when I was studying. Therefore I did not learn Kannada. I took oath in English to avoid doing mistake while reading in Kannada.
“In this case, I am equally hurt. Those, who take oath in English even after knowing Kannada, are called traitors. It is not wrong to hang such traitors, "he said.
