Muslims in large numbers also opposed his comments," said Kumar, who was in the city on Saturday.Attacking the former vice president, he said all the while during his ten-year tenure as vice president he (Ansari) was secular and after demitting the post he has become hardliner (kattarpanti).The RSS leader also exhorted all those sharing a similar mindset to tell the name of the country where Muslims are secure."I have one request to him (Ansari) and people like him who feel that Muslims are insecure, they should tell the name of the country where Muslims are secure and they should go and live in that country where they feel secure," Kumar said.
