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.

As the person now in isolation have allegedly been non-cooperative, the authorities were finding it difficult to sketch out a rote map as his movement and socialisation has been so vast and wide since his arrival here on March 12.

The bomb attack took place of January 16 in Kerala’s Kannur. The accused Prabesh, an RSS hardliner, was arrested from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

"He threw bombs during the wee hours of January 16 morning. Following the arrest he has confessed that his aim was RSS office. Kannur, being politically sensitive region, any attack on political party offices will be regarded as an act by the opponent," Kathirur SI Nijeesh said.

"We had a police picket in the region for a few months now. We are assuming he wanted to create unrest in the area by removing the police from the spot. We could contain the situation because of the CCTV visuals. He was identified immediately after the incident. Following the attack he went to Coimbatore and was hiding there. Our team nabbed him from Coimbatore," he said.

The police have also said that the accused Prabesh had many criminal cases pending against him including those under Explosive Substances Act, 1883. He was nabbed by a team lead by Kathirur SI Nijeesh, CPO Rohith and Vijeesh.

The RSS office in the region is named after Kathirur Manoj a senior karyakarta (worker) who was allegedly killed by the CPI(M) activists in 2014. Kathirur Manoj was the prime accused in the attempt to murder of senior CPI(M) leader P Jayarajan in 1999.
