Mangaluru, Oct 15: Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Saturday visited two famous pilgrimage sites managed by Muslims and Hindus in Dakshina Kannada district and offered special prayers.
The Janata Dal (Secular) supremo, who arrived in the city in the morning, visited Shri Durga Parameshwari temple in Kateel and paid obeisance to the deity.
He was welcomed priests Anantha Asranna, Venkatramana Asranna, Harinarayanadas Asranna and others.
Later he also paid a visit to Ullal and offered special prayers at Hazrat Sayyid Shareeful Madani Darga.
Ullal Juma Masjid and Sayyid Madani Darga committee president Abdul Rasheed Haji among others welcomed the former PM.
Interestingly, industrialist B M Farooq, who had contested recent Rajya Sabha polls through JD(S), accompanied Mr Gowda to both the holy places.
It's worth mentioning here that Mr Gowda had promised a prominent post in the party after the Rajya Sabha poll debacle.

After visiting dargah why didnt this darga commitee had a salah along with dewe gowda
He knows that there is no difference between Durga & Darga. Worshiping the dead is shirk (Major sin) which Allah will not forgive. It is just a Money making center & mafia center
Namma Farooq Sahibru DURGA mattu DARGA dallu prathyaksha.
Beshhhh kanri iddu rajakiya annudu ivarige Dhunya mukya Akirath secondary....Change yourself before its too late.
Durga or darga.... both are same which is shirk
Nice headline.
