Vijayapura: In a big allegation, Karnataka BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal has blasted the Karnataka government as he alleged that it is heavily biased toward Muslims. Basangouda Patil Yatnal, while addressing the media on Friday, October 18 in Vijayapura, demanded Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s resignation, claiming that the latter should have returned a disputed site linked to Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan’s Waqf property the moment it came to light.
“The government seems to be at the mercy of Muslims”, Yatnal said.
“They are claiming 16,000 acres in Vijayapur alone and 6.5 lakh acres across Karnataka. If this continues, how much more land will be claimed across the country?” he asked expressing outrage over the state government’s handling of the situation, stating that the government seems to be at the mercy of Muslims.
Yatnal further said that if such land concessions continue, “there will be two Pakistans in the country.” He further criticized the demands for land and resources, suggesting that even the Vidhana Soudha and a new parliament might be asked for next.
Yatnal went back into history as he referred to the Mughals as “thieves” and claimed that Afghan invaders and converts, such as Tipu Sultan and Adil Shahi had no place in India’s history.
“Our history is rooted in figures like Lord Rama and the Pandavas, not in those who forced conversions,” he said as he further accused figures like Tipu Sultan, Adil Shahi, and Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan of being a part of the legacy of forced conversions in India.
Yatnal did not spare Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi and India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for the current state of the country, alleging that their policies contributed to its downfall.
