A Hindu saint, on Tuesday, November 26, called for introducing a new law that denies voting rights to Muslims in India. The statement was made by Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamsthana Mutt Kumara Chandrashekaranatha who was speaking at a protest rally organised by Bharatiya Kisan Sangha against the Waqf Board. “Deprive Muslims of voting rights.
