Mangaluru, June 29,2017 : Pejawar Swamiji Sri Vishwesha Theertha has done nothing wrong by organising an Iftar  Koota aimed  at fostering harmony and brotherhood, said   State Vice President of BJP Minorities Morcha  Rahim Uchil who was also one among the several Muslims who had attended the Iftar meet hosted by the Swamiji.

Speaking to reporters here on June 29, Thursday,  Rahim Uchil said there had been neither objection nor protests when inter-faith programmes were held in mosques  in the past and many Hindus too attended.

Stating that he fully supported the Pejawar seer, Rahim Uchil also  described the seer as a great guiding force who should be treated with great respect.

On the protests planned by Sri Rama Sene Chief Pramod Muthalik and some organisations in Udupi as well as  Mangaluru, Rahim said it was instigated   by jealousy and aimed at creating disharmony in the society.

Pointing out that many including BJP leaders  Jagadish Shettar, D V Sadananda Gowda, Pratap Sinha, JD(S) State Chief  Kumaraswamy and  Social Welfare Minister Anjaneya have come out in support of the Swamiji, Rahim Uchil hoped that the organisations would withdraw their decision  to hold the protest.
