Jains and Sikhs part of Hindu dharma, claims Pejawar seer

Udupi, Jul 6: Vishwesha Tirtha Swami, the chief pontiff of Pejawar Mutt and veteran Hindutva ideologue has claimed that Jains and Sikhas are also part of Hindu dharma.

Addressing newsmen here yesterday, the seer said: “I personally feel that Sikhs and Jains are also Hindus. It was during the British rule that identities were created for Sikhs and other communities.

“Now, even Jains are attending programmes of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP),” he said.

The seer said he was ready for a debate on the issue of Lingayat being Hindu in a peaceful atmosphere at any place.

He said that such a debate or discussion could be held at the Poornaprajna Vidyapeetha in Bengaluru or any other place by July 28 or in Mysuru after July 28, where he will be undertaking his Chaturmasya Vrata.

The former Revenue Secretary S.M. Jamdar had invited him to debate on the issue after his fifth Paryaya (2016-18). The Sanehalli seer, Home Minister M.B. Patil and others such as Vinay Kulkarni had also given statements on this issue. “All I want is that the debate should be held in a peaceful manner,” he said.

The Pejawar seer said that his recent statement at Harihar that Lingayat was part of Hinduism and that Veerashaivas and Lingayats were one had drawn different reactions.

“Lingayats and Hindus are the same. Those who worship Lord Shiva and do Linga Puja are Hindus as Shiva is a Hindu god. If those worshipping Shiva and Linga are not Hindus, then who are Hindus?” he asked.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

 

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism.  Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
