Former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday defended his statement that India should not be allowed to become a “Hindu Rashtra”.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Yathindra said he had only reiterated B.R. Ambedkar’s words that it was calamitous for India to become a “Hindu Rashtra”.
Responding to the criticism from BJP leaders, Mr. Yathindra said he stood by his statement and people, who believed in B.R. Ambedkar, would not oppose his views.
