Udupi, June 09, 2018: A High Court advocate S Nataraja Sharma has lodged a complaint with the Vidhana Saudha Police Station in Bengaluru against Udupi Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje alleging that the statements made by her against Pejawar seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji has hurt his sentiments.
In his complaint Sharma has said that he was a devotee of Lord Krishna Temple of Udupi as well as a follower of Pejawar seer and that the statement of the MP has hurt him.
MP Shobha while speaking at a press meet in Mangaluru on June 5 had said that Pejawar Seer who was a Sanyasi does not watch TV and therefore he has lack of information on the developmental works of the Union Government.
The statement of Shobha came close on the heels of the remarks of Pejawar seer on June 3 at Mantralaya that development under the Modi rule was not as per the expectations of the people and that the Ganga Cleanliness project as well as the task of bringing back black money was incomplete.
