Bidar:Karnataka Urban Development Minister Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah has stirred a massive controversy after he claimed that a 'Hindu Rashtra' would lead to a return of oppressive social order in India, as he took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). "If India becomes a Hindu Rashtra, an oppressive social order will return. This should be a very important part of our Ahinsa movement," the Karnataka minister said. Last month, he had stirred another controversy after claiming that the RSS cannot be equated with the Hindu religion and the country. He had said that the RSS has always opposed the essence of Hinduism, defending Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge to bring the organisation under a formal registration framework.
