Karnataka minister calls 'Islam greatest'. BJP demands resignation, apology to Hindus
Basavaraj Rayareddi said that Islam is the “greatest” and expressed his desire to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage at least once.
Basavaraj Rayareddi, a minister in Karnataka, recently asserted that Islam is the "greatest" religion during a marriage ceremony in Kuknoor. His remarks have led to a backlash from the BJP, who have demanded his resignation and an apology to Hindus. Rayareddi clarified that he never intended to demean other religions and has visited several Jyotirlinga sites, including Kashi. Despite this, BJP leaders, including the Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka, accused the Congress of harboring an anti-Hindu mindset.
