Mangalore, June 21: Terming the “oath politics”, as 'disgraceful', 'disagreeable' and an 'evil practice', Pejawar Mutt pontiff Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji urged Chief Minster BS Yeddyurappa and former Chief Minister HD Kumarasamy to withdraw from their scheduled “test of truth” before the deity at Dharmasthala.




Addressing media persons after performing his Tulabhara in the city, the seer said that such an adverse step by senior political leaders of the state is a matter of concern.



"This move to self-justify the respective stands taken by them before Lord Manjunatha of Dharmasthala will result in curse and counter-curse for them" the Swamiji warned.



He also said that neither Yeddyurappa, nor Kumaraswamy can gain justice by spelling out their swearing lines before the deity, and would instead invite wrath from all sides.



If the CM and JD(S) state president have to continue with their argument and counter argument, they can approach a court to settle disputes, rather than approaching the diety, he said.



Yeddyurappa has fixed June 27 morning, around 10 a.m., to take oath before the idol of Manjunatha at Dharmasthala that he has not made any attempt to buy Kumaraswamy's silence. Kumaraswamy, said in response that he would be there on June 26 evening itself to take oath in the name of the diety and stick to his stand that Yeddyurappa tried to buy his silence through his emissary.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Congress leaders on Wednesday staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Vidhana Soudha here against BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yathnal's alleged remarks accusing freedom fighter HS Doreswamy of being a "Pakistani agent".

Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah, KPCC working president Eashwar Khandre also joined the protest.

Yathnal on Tuesday called Doreswamy a fake freedom fighter and a Pakistani agent, while addressing the media.

His comments triggered a controversy drawing sharp remarks from Congress and other parties.

Congress has demanded an apology from Yathnal and has also urged that his Assembly membership be cancelled.

"Session proceedings will not continue until Yathnal apologises," said senior Congress leader HK Patil while addressing the protest earlier today.

Siddaramaiah asserted that making "provocative" comments against such a freedom fighter is obnoxious.

Former KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar said: "Yathnal is a criminal who had mentioned in his election affidavit that he had 27 cases against him. He has made such loose comments against the freedom fighter. He should apologise for his remarks."
