Won't leave India: UR Ananthamurthy on getting threatening calls post his anti-Modi remarks

Bangalore, May 22 (ANI): Veteran Kannada writer UR Ananthamurthy on Thursday said that he won't leave the country, after allegedly receiving threatening calls from some BJP workers. He said that Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi needs to take care of the intolerance prevailing in the parivar (RSS). Ananthamurthy said that this is what he was afraid of and that they should not have held on to a small lapse. Ananthamurthy received some unpleasant calls after the BJP-led NDA's victory last week, and has now been provided with police protection, as the former had said that he would not live in a country that is ruled by Narendra Modi, in September last year.
