Karnataka BJP leaders rally behind Patil Yatnal for comments

The BJP leaders in Karnataka
rallied behind Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal amid a controversy over his remarks that centenarian freedom fighter H S Doresway was a "Pakistani agent."
Noting that the statements were made in bitter taste, Kumar said, "If you speak unpleasant, you will hear unpleasant."
"There is nothing wrong in his statement. It is absolutey correct. I support him. It is not just okay to be a freedom fighter but he should be a 'Deshbhakt' (patriot) too, who respects the unity and integrity of the nation."
