Two days after the anti-conversion bill was passed in BJP-ruled Karnataka, Surya gave a call to bring back all people, who left their "mother religion", on priority.
"The Hindu has been taken out from his mother religion. There is only one possible solution...there is only one solution to address this anomaly," the South Bangalore MP had said at Sri Krishna Mutt.
"Those people who have left their mother religion and have for various socio-political, economic reasons over the course of India's history, those who have gone out of the Hindu fold, must be brought back in whole, brought back into the Hindu faith, brought back to the mother faith," the BJP youth wing national president had added.
