Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (DV)

Mangalore, Oct 22: “The language used to condemn Dharmadikari and defaming Shri Kshetra has hurt the religious sentiments of the devotees. Victim Sowjanya should get justice and the matter should be probed fairly. Using this issue, a person’s reputation shouldn’t be tarnished. Moreover, in one of the television interviews, the victim’s parents along with others purposefully dragged Dharmadikari’s name which is unfair. The allegation made by them against Dharmadikari and Kshetra are totally baseless. We condemn the defamatory words used against Dharmadikari,” said Sadhashiva Shetty, city president of Janajagruthi Vedike.

“Dharmadikari has served the society in various ways; his contributions are unforgettable. We condemn the defamatory language used. We will always support Dharmadikari,” he said.

Vajrakumar Ballal said, “Veerendra Heggade contribution to the society is immense. The words used to criticize him really hurt the sentiment of devotees.”

Harikrishna Poonarooru, Prashanth Gatti, Vajrakumar Ballal, Mohammed Ismail, Vasudev Kottary, were present on the occasion.
