Bengaluru: Former Union Minister Anant Kumar hedge took to twitter and mocked Kanakapura MLA DK Shivakumar after he laid the foundation stone for Jesus Christ Statue at Harobele on December 25.
Hedge tweeted in Kananda which roughly translates to,” Here is a #TiharReturned gentleman who, with the desire for a better post is trying best to please his Italian mother by setting up a huge statue of Jesus and showing off his manhood.”
He also mocked the Congress party workers in his tweet as he added, “There is no surprise if more Congress slaves come to the arena to compete with this kind of politics.”
In response to this Shivakumar tweeted, “I believe in equality and tolerance which are the vital foundation of democracy. In my Kanakapura constituency, we have citizens belonging to different caste, religions. My intention is to respect their feelings.” In his tweet, he also added a note with the work he has done in the past for all the communities. “I don’t want to take lessons from someone who went on to burn Dr. B R Ambedkar Sir’s constitution,” he added.ಇಲ್ಲೊಬ್ಬ #TiharReturned ಮಹನೀಯರೊಬ್ಬರು, ಯಾವುದೋ ಹುದ್ದೆಯ ಆಸೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಅವರ ಇಟಲಿಯಮ್ಮನನ್ನು ಪ್ರಸನ್ನಗೊಳಿಸಲು, ಅತಿ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಯೇಸುವಿನ ಪ್ರತಿಮೆ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಪೌರುಷವನ್ನು ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಸಲು ಸಜ್ಜಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಓಲೈಕೆ ರಾಜಕೀಯಕ್ಕೆ ಪೈಪೋಟಿ ನೀಡಲು @INCIndia ದಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಗುಲಾಮರು ಅಖಾಡಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿದರು ಅಚ್ಚರಿಯಿಲ್ಲ.

ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಜಾತಂತ್ರ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯ ಭದ್ರಬುನಾದಿಯಾದ ಸಮಾನತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸರ್ವಧರ್ಮ ಸಹಿಷ್ಣುತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಇಟ್ಟಿರುವವನು ನಾನು. ನನ್ನ ಕನಕಪುರ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಜಾತಿ ಧರ್ಮದ ಜನರೂ ಇದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಭಾವನೆ ಗೌರವಿಸುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಧರ್ಮ. ಡಾ. ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಸಾಹೇಬರ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ಸುಡಲು ಮುಂದಾದ ಅಲ್ಪರಿಂದ ಪಾಠ ಹೇಳಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಜರೂರತ್ತು ನನಗಿಲ್ಲ pic.twitter.com/5YMCwY5aEN
