Congress President is 'hybrid'

New Delhi, Jan 31: Alleging at Congress leaders, firebrand Union Minister from Karnataka Anantkumar Hegde on Wednesday mocked Congress President Rahul Gandhi as a hybrid breed, born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother.



"Rahul Gandhi s father is a Muslim and mother a Christian and son is a Brahmin. How does it happen? You will not find such a hybrid breed anywhere," said Hegde in Kannada at an event at Karwar in Uttara Kannada in the state s northwest region.

Hegde, 50, is Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and a BJP Lok Sabha member from the Uttara Kannada constituency, about 530 km from Bengaluru.



Hegde s reference to Rahul s father Rajiv Gandhi as a "Muslim" is because the latter s father was Feroze Gandhi, a Parsi from Gujarat. Rajiv s mother was Indira Gandhi.

Accusing Congress leaders of having no sense of religion, Hegde told the gathering that they continued to lie.

"Rahul knows nothing about India and there is no question of he knowing anything about religion (dharma). Look, how they lie. You cannot get such a hybrid breed in world s any laboratory but in our country s Congress laboratory," Hegde stressed.
