Mangaluru, Feb 6: Swamy Dathatreya Saiswaroopnath Organising Secretary Akhila Bharatha Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) South Zone on Saturday, February 6 stated that the Hindu Mahasabha will start a signature campaign urging the union government to name the new parliament building in Delhi as 'Hindu Rastra Bhavan' during the office bearers oath-taking ceremony and meeting in Chikkamagaluru on February 7.

Speaking to the media at Arya Samaj, here, Swamy Dathatreya Saiswaroopnath said, "Hindu Mahasabha national president has given the call in this regard."

"ABHM is a national level organisation and political party. But, to bring a black mark to the party, a few people, on social media are claiming to have registered an organisation as Hindu Mahasabha, Karnataka, to mislead the youth and the media. Hence, Dr L K Suvarana is the authorised president and Rajesh Poojary in-charge of the Hindu Mahasabha in Karnataka. ABHM was established during the pre-independence. It is functioning in Karnataka too. Also, it is clearly stated in the by-law of the organisation that ABHM cannot be restricted to a single state. So, we will also file a case against those who are misleading the public,” he said.

He also congratulated advocate Meera Raghavendra for blackening Prof K S Bhagavan’s face. He urged the government to drop the case filed against Meera at Halsur police station in Bengaluru.

Congratulating the state government bring anti-cow slaughter law, he said, "The government should stop illegal cattle transport from Karnataka to Kerala."

He also said that ABHM will hold 'Chalo Hindu Rastra' rally from Mangaluru to Kanyakumari demanding the government to construct and develop the Kashi and Mathura temples, like the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Rally will start from the last week of March, he said.

He also said that he has written to the Pope regarding Christian priests in Kerala using saffron robes.

L K Suvarna demanded the BJP to sack Jagadish Adhikari from the party for his remarks on the Billava community.
