Reacting to Moily's statement, former PM HD Deve Gowda requested "people like Moily not to raise such issues."
Bangalore Former Karnataka chief minister and union minister M Veerappa Moily has kicked up a row. Speaking at a function in Bangalore on Sunday, Moily said that the word 'Hindu' was invented by the Muslims in the medieval age.
He said, "The word Hindu was invented by the Muslims. They wanted to separate people living in India from them. They called us Hindus. There is no mention of the word Hindu in our Vedas and Upanishads."
Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda disagreed with Moily. Reacting to Moily's statement, he said, "I request people like Moily not to raise such issues. Why are we going back to ancient times, medieval age etc? Can't we live peacefully?"
Sri Rama Send chief Pramod Muthalik too condemned Moily's statement.
