‘Rahul Gandhi is born to a Muslim and Christian, how did he become a Brahmin?’ :  Union minister Anantkumar Hegde

Union minister Anantkumar Hegde has stirred up yet another controversy by questioning Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s ancestry in response to questions raised by the Opposition party about the Indian Air Force’s airstrikes conducted across the Line of Control.

The Union minister of State for Skill Development referred to Gandhi as a “pardesi” or foreigner at a gathering in Uttara Kannada on Sunday, The News Minute reported.

“Look at the pitiful situation they [Congress] have brought us to,” Hegde claimed. “The whole world is praising our soldiers for their courage and bravery and this man [Rahul Gandhi] wants proof of the damage caused in the attack [the Balakot airstrike]. How did the son of a Muslim become a Brahmin named Gandhi? He was born to a Muslim and a Christian. How does he become a Brahmin? Can he provide DNA proof?”

Hegde’s reference was to a Hindu priest’s reported statement in November that Rahul Gandhi had claimed that his “gotra was Dattatreya” which made him a Kashmiri Brahmin.
