Mangalore, September 27: Veerabhadra Chennamalla Swamiji, the Chief Pontiff of the Nidumamidi Mutt challenged his counterpart in Pejawar Mutt to allow lower caste seers and Dalits to offer Krishna Pooja at the sanctum sanctorum of the Sri Krishna Mutt if the latter has real social concern.

Participating at an interaction programme on 'Religion and Politics' organised 'Journalists Study Centre' here on Tuesday, the progressive seer termed Vishwesha Tirtha Swamiji's recent Dalit oriented programmes as “ineffective” and “illogical”.

The Nidumamidi seer also questioned the powerful seer of Udupi whether he has initiated any programmes for the socio-economic development of Dalits.

“Does he (Vishwesha Tirtha) think that the problems of Dalits will be solved just by paying a visit to Dalit colony and having food in a Dalit's house?” Chennamalla Swamiji ridiculed.

He also termed the Pejawar seer's 'Saha-bhojana' programme in Mysore as an act of hypocrisy, and asked why he failed to stop 'Pankti-bhojana' in Udupi.

“Is Pejawar seer ready to impart 'Paurohithya' education to a Dalit child in the residential school run by his Mutt in Udupi for Brahmin children? Is he ready to officially accept that Brahmins and Dalits are equal by birth? Is he ready to show green signal for inter-caste marriages within Hinduism? If not, then what is the intention of his Dalit development programmes?” the Nidumamidi seer questioned.

Indian 'Swiss Banks'!

Chennamalla Swamiji said that a number of religions centres including Mutts, Temples, Churches, Mosques and Basadis have been playing the role of Swiss Bank in this country.

It is an ugly truth that religious institutions in this country have become the centres of black money, he said and added that these are the centres which foster illicit relationship between religion and politics.

Kasaragod, Apr 17: Even as this district continue to remain in the high-alert red zone category of Covid-19, Kasaragod has slowly but steadily been limping back to restraint level of the pandemic from a possible slipping into a stage-3 of community spread early this month.

Thanks to the stringent and committed measures implemented by the district administration crisscross the district besides total isolation of few localities by enforcing triple lockdown.

The district had been a Covid-19 hotspot ever since an NRI who returned from the Gulf violated quarantine protocol and travelled wide and far by meeting and contacting with several people including two MLAs of the district. That apart the irresponsible attitude of the people who broke the rules of quarantine and lockdown norms also made things go from bad to worse resulting in contributing for a near-half of the total positive cases in the state at the beginning of April.

New Delhi, Feb 24: India has deeply appreciated the Senegal government's decision to extradite fugitive gangster Ravi Poojary to India, official sources said on Sunday.

Facilitation of transit provided by the Government of France has also been acknowledged, they said.

Ravi Prakash Poojary, accused of committing a number of serious offences including murder and extortion in multiple jurisdictions, was extradited from Senegal on Saturday.

The probe agencies have persistently pursued the case for his extradition with the authorities in Senegal. India had made a request with Senegal for his extradition in early 2019, sources said.

Poojary was associated with gangster Chhota Rajan, but he also worked for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
