Until they are demolished, the Hindu community will not sit idly.”His statement could be taken as a “threat”, the MP from Uttara Kannada added. This is a decision of the Hindu community, not of Anantkumar Hegde,” he said, speaking at a meeting in Kumta Saturday. Advertisement“Revenge, revenge, revenge… if we do not take revenge for the 1,000 years, then the Hindu community can clearly say that ours is not Hindu blood,” the BJP MP added. Similarly, in 2017, he had drawn fire for saying that the BJP had come to power to “change the Constitution”.
