Mangalore, Mar 2: Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejavar Math on Monday March 2 said that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is in no way related to the Sri Rama Sena.
“The pub attack incident in the city was wrong. The movement against ‘pub culture’ should be undertaken in a constitutional manner and not by taking law into one’s hands”, he claimed. “It was unfortunate that some of the misguided youth have taken law into their hands in the name of eradication of alien cultures”, added the Swamiji.
Addressing media persons at the Hindu Samajotsava office, he said that Dharma Raksha Vedike, a unit of Dharma Raksha Manch, which was formed in Panipat, recently, is organizing a ‘Dharma Jagrithi Abhiyan’ from Friday February 20 to Sunday March 15. As part of this, a ‘Hindu Samajotsava’ will be held in the city on March 15.
“Conversion, cow slaughter, terrorism, and eradication of the caste system, will be the prime issues to be discussed in the campaign. Dharma Raksha Manch urges the Muslim clergy to issue ‘Fatwas’ against terrorism and to not consider theists of any religion as ‘Kafirs’ (disbeliever)”, the Swamiji said.
In reply to a question, he said that the Hindu Samajotsava and other such programmes were being organized on purpose ahead of the Lok Sabha and assembly elections, to make political parties aware of the problems of Hindus. “We will establish a Hindu vote bank. We want political parties to appease the Hindus on the basis of their votes. We welcome JD (S), and Congress leaders to share a stage with us in their own interests”, he stressed.
Sri Ramananda Swamiji, Kolya Math, Sri Gurudevananda Swamiji, Sri Kshethra Odiyoor, Sri Rajashekharananda Swamiji, Vajradehi Math Gurupura, and N Seetharam, trustee, Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, were present at the press meet.
