Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (EP)

Mangaluru, Dec 29: Pramod Muthalik speaking in 41th Ekaha Bhajanotsava programme of Subramanya Bhajana Mandali in Neermarga, Mangaluru, on Friday December 28, said that author Prof Bhagawan has lost his way and gone to devil instead of Ram. “Let him come for a discussion about Ramayana that he read. He has given statements about Ramayana that are detrimental to the religious sentiments of people. The government should register criminal case against him or declare that he is mentally sick,” he said.

Speaking about New Year celebrations, he said that those are not celebrations. “Our New Year is only Yugadi. People should not celebrate this New Year. If at all they want to celebrate, they should go to Subramanya temple. The government has given permission for celebrations this year even though a huge mishap had occurred on that day in Bengaluru last year. The government does it for income from liquor. If the government does not act against it, instead of each such day, there will be death day.”

Regarding Ram Mandir, he said that the campaign has lasted for 30 years. “We have gone to jail for it. Should we go to jail for it again? Ram Mandir should be constructed before 2019 elections. Only Narendra Modi can do it. Rahul Gandhi or communists will not construct it. There should be two letters from every house written to Modi urging for it,” he said.

“Bhagawan is spreading lies for publicity. The government has protected such shameless devil.” Regarding Sabrimala, he said that he respects the verdict of the court. “However the court should not judge matters concerning religion. The matter should have been decided by seers or religious scholars and not by court,” he said.
