Mangalore, Feb 14, 2014: Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt has warned that the Hindu religious heads will go on a hungers strike if the authorities fail to ensure justice to the victims of the recent Ullal disturbances.

The seer was  speaking at a public meeting as part of ‘Sanyasigala Nade Santrastara Kade’  held at Ullal on February 13, Thursday after  he along with other Hindu religious heads visited the  affected families  at their houses and also spoke to some of them at the Sri Vyaghra Chamundeshwari Temple.

The seer said any attempt to over ride Hinduism will not be tolerated. “We are with you, do not fear,” the seer assured the people.

He said a report will be submitted to the Chief Minister and the Governor on the issue and a request will also be made to provide compensation to the affected. He also urged to drop charges against innocents arrested in connection with the violence and also against some juveniles arrested.
He also came down heavily on Home Minister’s recent statement that the proposed visit of the seer was politically motivated and said as a Hindu religious head it was his duty to visit the affected.

Sri Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Gurupur Vajradehi Mutt, Sri Vidyaprasanna  Swamiji of Shree Subrahmanya Mutt,  Sri Ramananda Swamiji of Kolya Mutt, Sri Gurudevananda Swamiji of Odiyoor Mutt, Sri Yogananda Saraswati Swamiji of Kondevoor, Karinje Sri Muktananda Swamiji, Sri Kalahastendra Saraswati Swamij, Om Sri Guruji of Thokkottu, K S Nityananda Swamiji of Chikmagalur, Sri Rudramahaswamiji of Gurpur Jangama Mutt, and others accompanied Pejawar seer during his visit to Ullal.
