Mangaluru, 02 Jan 2015: Various Hindu seers under the aegis of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and other hindu outfits came down to streets against the state government outfits for its ’anti-Hindu’ policies here on Thursday January 1 in the city.

 

The Pejawar Swamiji who addressed the protest staged in front of the office urged the government to withdraw the bill which aims to include all the temples in the state under the endowment department.

 

He said "The state government is trying to curb the freedom of Hindus. All Hindus should unite without any caste discrimination on this issue. The state government is trying to take control over the mutts and temples. The government must withdraw this Bill immediately. Until then we will continue our protest."

 

 

Swamiji further said, " The real secularists are the saints and sages like us. The policies of the state government are not secular. The state government’s policy is a violation of secularism. Let worship centres of all religions be brought under the Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, but the state government is not agreeing to this. This is violation of secularism," he added.

 

Sri Esha Vittaldasa Swamiji of Kemar Saandeepani Saadana Ashram, Sri Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Gurpura Vajradehi Mutt and Sri Gurudevananda Swamiji of Shree Kshetra Odiyoor also spoke on the occasion. 

 

VHP leader M B Puranik warned the state government by saying, “Hindu community is like a beehive and by putting its hand into the beehive the government has stirred the beehive. They will face the result of this”

 

Sri Ramananda Swamiji of Kolya Mutt, Sri Mohandas Swamiji of Manila Shri Mahalakshmi Kshetra, and others were present.
A rally was also staged from the Sharavu temple in prior to the protest.
