Hindu outfit’s ire over Chief Minister proposal stay at Madrassa

Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy’s proposal to stay overnight at a madrassa during his forthcoming tour of coastal Karnataka has infuriated a Hindu outfit, which has threatened to hold a protest over the issue.

Hindu Rashtriya Sena President Pramod Mutalik told reporters that their activists will stage protests throughout the State if Kumaraswamy stayed at madrassa during is tour of coastal Karnataka as planned by him.

Accusing madrassas engaged in jehadi activities, Mutalik said the Chief Minister would be legitimizing such “anti-national” activities by staying at a madrassa.
After he received a huge media attention during his overnight stay at a poor Dalit farmer’s house in Mysore taluk, the Chief Minister said he would be staying at a madrassa during his forthcoming tour of coastal Karnataka.
