Bengaluru, Dec 27: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Monday unconditionally withdrew his statement that Muslims or Christians who have undergone religious conversion should be brought back into the Hindu fold.
At a program held in Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt two days ago, I spoke on the subject of ‘Hindu Revival in Bharat’.
Certain statements from my speech has regrettably created an avoidable controversy. I therefore unconditionally withdraw the statements.

“At a programme held in Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt two days ago, I spoke on the subject of ‘Hindu Revival in Bharat’. Certain statements from my speech have regrettably created an avoidable controversy. I, therefore, unconditionally withdraw the statements,” he tweeted.
Surya had said that it is the duty of the Hindus to bring back into the field of Hinduism people who converted to Islam or Christianity. Even Hindus in Pakistan who were converted to Islam should be brought back, he added.
Do have a look on this video.

All mutts and temples should fix an annual target to bring the “converted people” back into the fold, Surya had said. This is the only way a renaissance can happen, he added.
