nant Kumar Hegde’s statement about the need for the BJP to secure 400 seats to protect Hinduism by amending the Constitution is not his personal statement but a part of the secret agenda of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Our Constitution protects people of every religion equally and provides every citizen the freedom to follow his or her faith.
So,what version of Hinduism is Anant Kumar Hegde aiming to protect by altering the Constitution itself?.
Hegde’s statement has exposed the ulterior motives of the BJP to replace Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s version of the Constitution with their own,influenced by the Manusmriti.
The BJP’s version would reinforce the evil practices of the caste system.The BJP will remove all reservations for OBCs and Dalits if they come to power.His statement is a direct attack on OBCs and Dalits.
This is not the first instance of Anant Kumar Hegde speaking against the Constitution.He has repeatedly expressed the intent to change the Constitution.
Observing the silent endorsement from senior BJP members and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s apparent support, it’s clear they align with Hegde’s views.
If Modi disagrees with Hegde’s opinions,he should first expel him from the party.Failing to act against Hegde suggests the Prime Minister’s implicit agreement.It seems Modi’s public declarations of allegiance to the Constitution are merely superficial.
Without the support of his party seniors, it would be impossible for an MP like Anant Kumar Hegde to boldly make such anti-constitutional statements.
Hegde,who has sworn to uphold the Constitution, making statements against it constitutes a punishable offense.
The Speaker of the Lok Sabha should take serious action against Hegde and permanently disqualify him from contesting elections.
