Mangalore, July 16, 2014: Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt has said that there was nothing wrong in journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik meeting terror suspect Hafiz Saeed with an intention of his mental transformation.

The Pejawar Swamiji also said he would request the government to take steps to check pollution of other rivers just like Ganges.
