Udupi, Nov 23: A day after Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math expressed his opinion in support of the Babri Masjid demolition, the religious leader was allegedly the target of defamatory remarks and threat on Facebook.
On Sunday November 23, Pejawar Swamiji, while speaking at the condolence meet for chief patron of VHP Ashok Singhal who passed away recently, had said that the demolition of Babri Masjid was right and that it had brought him a sense of 'satisfaction', and that he had advised the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to go ahead with construction of the Ram Temple at the disputed site, but his advice was not taken.
Following Pejawar Swamiji's statements, a person by name Abdul Salam in a post on Facbook made defamotory remarks against the Swamiji and also also threatened him, stated a complaint letter submitted by Raghuram Acharya of Pejawar Math to Udupi SP Annamalai.
Strongly condemning the remarks, the appeal states, "We urge the police to take immediate action against such anti-social posts and trace those who are circulating them on the social media, and deal with them as per the law."
A complaint was later filed in Udupi town police station.
