Rahul doesn't know this country, has no clue about religion: Ananth Hegde

Karwar (Karnataka) [India], Jan 30 (ANI): Union Minister Ananth Hegde hit out at Congress president Rahul Gandhi's claim of being a Hindu saying that his father was Muslim, a mother a Christian, how can he be Hindu?
Addressing a gathering here on Wednesday, "He (Rahul) does not know this country, he has no clue about religion. Look how they lie. A father who is Muslim, a mother Christian and the son is supposed to be Brahmin. How is that even possible? "

Further sharpening his attack he added, "We can understand such issues but that empty-headed man does not know or understand. You will not find such a hybrid specimen in any laboratory across the world. You will only find such a specimen in the Congress laboratory in this country where the father and son are of two different types."

Earlier today Smriti Irani had said: "It is appalling that a Congress MP, with the tactical support of his president Rahul Gandhi, has indulged in smearing of the Kumbh. Crores of Hindus across the world consider Kumbh not only as a part of their faith but they throng to Prayagraj, as Sanatan Dharm tells us that Kumbh is a place where Tapasvis (sage) come for the betterment of mankind."

"Shashi Tharoor has made a statement which tantamounts to a religious slur. This has been done with the tactical support of Congress party and the question needs to be asked to Rahul Gandhi who strategically wears a ‘Janau’ only when there are polls. He must be asked as to why he has allowed this attack on the beliefs of millions of Hindus across the world," she further added. (ANI)
