Didn’t invite Siddaramaiah because he ignored our previous invitations: Pejawar seer

Udupi, Nov 21: Vishwesha Tirtha Swami, the chief pontiff of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt stated that he did not invite Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah to Krishna temple during latter’s recent Udupi visit because he had ignored the previous invitations.

Replying to media persons questions on the sidelines of Haji Abdullah child and mother’s hospital inauguration in Udupi on Sunday, the CM had clarified that he never deliberately avoided visiting Krishna temple/mutt. He had also said that this time he did not get any invitation from the temple.

The seer on Monday said: “I have invited the CM many times but he ignored us and that's why this time I didn't call him.”

“When we know that CM is not interested in visiting the Krishna mutt, why should we call him again and again? During every visit to Udupi, we have sent him an invitation to visit the mutt but he never turned up. Now, it’s up to him. I don't think he'll come in the future too," the seer claimed.

"Whenever I meet him outside, we speak but I have no idea what's his problem. Maybe it's because he listens to intellectuals who don't like the Krishna Mutt or the Pejawar seer and has decided not to visit the mutt," added the seer, who is also a well-wisher of BJP ‘margdarshak’ of many saffron outfits.

Thanks CD for letting us know the true version of the story. Some media portrayed as if chief minister told lies. Her it is very clear. Let Pejawar seer stop Made-Snana, Pankti Bheda etc uncultured practices then send invitation to a leader like Siddaramaiah.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: The Karnataka government on Sunday directed the Director General of Police Praveen Sood to submit a detailed report on the internal security following the United Nations' observation that international terror outfit IS was active in the state.

The UN report stated that Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, was reportedly planning attacks in the region.

It also warned that there were 'significant numbers' of ISIS operatives in Karnataka and Kerala. Reacting to the UN report, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the state government has taken a serious note of the report on the activities of IS in the state.

The state government is in touch with the Centre and the neighbouring states to keep a close watch on the activities of suspicious people and their supporters.

"In this context, it has been decided to strengthen the internal security of the state. The Director General of Police has been asked to submit a detailed report," Bommai said in a release.

The state is also keeping a strict vigil on all those entering Bengaluru from other states, the Minister said. He recalled that the state police had arrested several members of Al-Hind organisation in January last and Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen from Bangladesh in 2018 and 2019. He added that the National Investigation Agency is investigating the case of JMB.

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Janata Dal (Secular) chief and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Sunday refuted reports of him contesting in the Rajya Sabha elections and added that he is more concerned about strengthening his party in Karnataka.

"I am not interested in going to Rajya Sabha. My concern is to build and strengthen the party in the region to the best of my ability. I had declared earlier that I will not contest elections anymore," Deve Gowda told ANI here.

"My party MP D Kupendra Reddy is there in the Rajya Sabha as of now and further decisions will be taken by the party. In March 2019, towards the end of the 16th Lok Sabha I had declared that I will not contest any more elections," Deve Gowda added.

Four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka are about to fall vacant in June this year as two of Congress, one of BJP and JD(S) MPs retire.
