Mangaluru, Aug 23: Coming down heavily on Bharatiya Janata Party for “trying to fool people in the name of Tiranga Yatra” Congress leader U T Khader has said that those who disrupt peace and harmony in the society for political gains have no right to deliver lecturer on patriotism.
Addressing media persons in the city on Tuesday, Mr Khader said: “Nationalism and patriotism can be no party's property. Those who disrupt peace and harmony are neither patriots nor nationalists.”
The statement comes two days after BJP chief Amit Shah visited Mr Khader's constituency to participate in a so called Tiranga Yatra, which appeared to be the saffron party's attempt to strengthen itself ahead of 2018 assembly polls.
Mr Khader said that the party which organized a nation-wide Tiranga Yatra must clarify its stand on Nathuram Godse, a terrorist who killed Mahatma Gandhi within a year after India's independence.
He also said that Tiranga Yatra wasn't an apolitical event as Mr Shah and other BJP leaders targeted Congress and tried to spread a false notion that the BJP is the only patriotic party.
He sarcastically said: “I am happy that those who wanted to replace Tiranga with their saffron flag are now hoisting tricolor throughout the country at least to fool the people".
Mr Khader revealed that he was also invited to the Tiranga Yatra and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel had personally written to him asking him to attend the event.

I'm sure you will never vote other party than bjp.. Don't give advise to kader bhai.. He is good human being and he dont need so called bhakts votes who are always spoiling environment in the name of patritism, nationalism or religion.
Instead of criticising good people I suggest you to go back and make research on wheather kader bhai said is correct or wrong.. You will know exactly RSS intention behind tiranga.. These so called nationalist wanted to replace suffron flag into indian flag.. How you justify this.. Dont be fooled by following someone blindly...
