Muthalik's Sri Rama Sene to support Varun Gandhi

Bangalore, Mar 24 (ANI): Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik has said that he and his group would support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Varun Gandhi, who is in trouble after his alleged anti-Muslim speech.

Muthalik also said that Gandhi had the guts to speak the truth.

"He has the guts to speak the truth. Rama Sene would support him. I think every true Hindu would support him," Muthalik said on the sidelines of a function organised by the Vishwa Hindu Dharma Rakshana Vedike at the Town Hall here.

Muthalik said that Gandhi's statement has made Hindus realise that they were being treated badly in the country.

The other guests at the function were Kolada Mutt and the Brahmathanthra Parakala Mutt.

Muthalik is the founder of the Sri Rama Sene, which came into light after its workers attacked a group of women in a Mangalore pub in January.

Muthalik has now been banned entry for a year in Mangalore. The group has also been banned in Goa. (ANI)
