Karnataka Minister Satish Jarkiholi Faces Criminal Case Over Controversial Remarks

A special court in Bengaluru on Saturday ordered the registration of a criminal case against Karnataka minister and Congress leader Satish Jarkiholi in response to a controversial statement made by him that the word 'Hindu' was Persian and its meaning is "very dirty". While addressing an event in Belagavi in November 2022, Satish Jarkiholi, then Congress Karnataka working president, said, "Where did the word 'Hindu' come from? Is it ours? It's Persian, which covers places such as Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. What does it have to do with Bharat? How did the word 'Hindu' become yours? This must be discussed." #SatishJarkiHoli #CriminalCase #ControversialRemarks #KarnatakaPolitics #Congress Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
