Controversies | • Muthalik gained media attention when about 40 activists of the Ram Sena shoved into a Mangalore pub and attacked young men and women. Later, he insisted that these people were violating the Indian culture. • Muthalik is notoriously famous for making inflammatory speeches, inciting hatred between religious groups, conducting training with an intention to carry out violence. More than 45 cases are pending against him, and he is wanted by the police in 11 districts of Karnataka. Most of these cases are still getting investigated and relate to subversive activities, defiling religious books, unlawful assembly, violating prohibitory orders, and evading judicial warrants. • Muthalik is also an admirer of Nathuram Godse, who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi and regularly attends an annual function in Pune to mark the death anniversary of Godse. • In August 2014, Muthalik called the BJP the 'Bharatiya Jesus Party' and labelled it as "corrupt and anti-Hindu." • In June 2018, Muthalik likened slain Bengaluru journalist Gauri Lankesh to a dog. "Many wanted PM Modi to react after Gauri Lankesh's death. Why should Modi react if some dog dies in Karnataka?" said Muthalik. Later, he defended his statement, saying that he did not directly compare Lankesh to a dog, and that he was just pointing out that PM Modi cannot comment on every death in Karnataka. |
