Mangaluru: Various Hindu outfits led by Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt along with other swamijis held a protest against the state government for its 'anti-Hindu' policies here on Thursday January 1.

Prior to the protest meet a rally was taken out from Sharavu Temple to DC's office. Addressing the protest, Pejawar Swamiji said, “ The state government is trying to curb the freedom of Hindus. All Hindus should unite without any caste discrimination on this issue. The state government is trying to take control over the mutts and temples. The government must withdraw this Bill immediately. Until then we will continue our protest."

Swamiji further said, " The real secularists are the saints and sages like us.The policies of the state government are not secular. The state government's policy is a violation of secularism. Let worship centres of all religions be brought under the Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, but the state government is not agreeing to this. This is violation of secularism," he added.

Sri Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Gurpura Vajradehi Mutt, "Today the Congress government has made Swamijis to come on the streets. The curse of swamijis will bring the Congress government to the streets”.
