Migrate to Pakistan: Karnataka minister to IAS officer who quit

KARWAR: Uttara Kannada MP and former Union minister Anantkumar Hegde stirred a controversy by demanding S Sasikanth Senthil, the officer who quit as deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district, "go to Pakistan" while calling him "gaddar" (traitor) for reportedly suggesting the "fascist" agenda of the Union government was the reason for his resignation.
Hegde also launched a veiled attack against chief minister BS Yediyurappa for attempting to persuade Senthil to withdraw his resignation. Senthil, in media interviews, suggested he resigned because he was against the policies of the Union government, which he alleged were anti-people.
Senthil touched a raw nerve in the BJP by saying the Union government's stand on Kashmir, Ram Mandir and triple talaq are untenable with the Constitution and the government, in the name of patriotism, is peddling anti-people policy. Senthil said he would launch a people's movement in the country which will commence from Karnataka.
"Senthil can migrate to Pak which is easy and a practical and a final solution to the problem faced by Senthil. Instead of dividing the country by staying here he should start his fight against the country directly from the Pak soil," Hegde tweeted.
In another tweet, he said, "If this guy can conclude that the union government is fascist then we have the liberty to call him another paid #Gaddar, dancing to the tunes set by his real paymasters. This may be the debate he wants to initiate!"
