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.

The judge noted that the records indicate Mujeeb has six bank accounts, stayed in Bahrain and Kuwait for some years, was influenced by religious fanatics and anti-national ideas and that he had shared a Pakistan WhatsApp number to someone over information about Islam. The National Investigation Agency is probing his links.

Mujeeb, who is in judicial custody now, has been booked under sections 153A, 505, 270 and 109 of IPC.
