Respect Gandhi, but Veda Vyasa is father of the nation: Pejawar seer

Udupi, May 31: Hindutva veteran and chief pontiff of Pejawar Mutt, Sri Vishwesha Tirtha Swami has reiterated that he regarded Sage Veda Vyasa as the father of the nation, but had immense respect and regard for Mahatma Gandhi.

Replying to the queries of presspersons in Udupi, the Pejawar seer said the country had not started with Mahatma Gandhi. The culture, tradition, and feeling of being one country had started due to sage Veda Vyasa.

“In my personal opinion, Veda Vyasa is the father of the nation. But I hold Mahatma Gandhi in very high esteem. He was a patriot and son of the country. It is a big insult to the country to have portrayed Gandhi’s assassin, Nathuram Godse, as a patriot. I am unhappy about those issuing such statements,” the seer said.

He said the Modi government should ensure that the Ram Temple is constructed in Ayodhya. The BJP now had the numbers for this purpose, he added.

Though the matter is being heard in the Supreme Court, Parliament could enact a law on this matter. This had been done by the Union government led by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in the Shah Bano case. “The Modi government should facilitate the construction of Ram Temple. AICC president Rahul Gandhi and other parties should support this move,” he said.
