Udupi, July 2, 2017: The Sri Rama Sene and Hindu Jana Jagrithi Samithi  protested near the Clock Tower on July 2, Sunday to condemn the Pejawar Swamiji for holding Iftar Koota and allowing  Muslims to offer Namaz at the Krishna Mutt premises.

The activists staged a novel protest by singing bhajans and  offering pooja  to Lord Krishna at the venue. Mohan Bhat, Secretary of Mangaluru  unit of Sri Rama Sene who addressed the protestors, said the pooja offered on the occasion was symbolic of the fact that the  Iftar organised by the Pejawar seer has hurt Hindu sentiments.

Stating that they cannot stand against the Pejawar seer who was a Guru to the Hindu community, he said they were only against the holding of the Iftar in  the Mutt premises. True harmony is possible when bhajans and Ugadi celebrations are held in mosques, he added.

Several Hindu leaders took part in the  protest programme.
