Taking strong exception to the former Union Minister Basanagouda Patil Yatnal’s IS link comment, the former president of Anjuman-e-Islam of Dharwad Ismail Tamatgar has said that Mr. Yatnal has lost his mental balance because of which he is making baseless remarks.
Speaking to presspersons in Dharwad on Thursday, Mr. Tamatgar said that after the debacle in the Assembly elections in the State, the BJP high command has not considered Mr. Yatnal for any senior position.
Consequently, Mr. Yatnal seems to have gone into depression resulting in such baseless remarks. “Dharwad has a British era mental hospital and if Mr. Yatnal is mentally depressed, he can come over and take medicine and treatment free,” he said.
