Samata Sene opposes Swachh Udupi campaign

Hubballi: The Karnataka State

Samata Sene

has condemned the proposed fast of Pejawar Mutt seer, Vishwesha Theerth Swami against the '

Udupi Chalo

' rally organized by various dalit organizations recently.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Pitambarappa Bilar, divisional president of the Sene, said that the Udupi Chalo rally concluded successfully, but some Hindu organizations could not tolerate its success. "Contrary to 'Udupi Chalo', now '

Swachh Udupi

' is being planned by Hindu organizations with support of the seer," he said.

Bilar alleged that the Pejawar seer is following a blackmail technique to stop the entry of dalits into

Udupi Krishna

Mutt. "Some leaders have been trying to stop the entry of dalits into the mutt due to their political mileage. But they should understand our Constitution," he said.

Gurunath Ullikashi, state president of the Sene, strongly opposed the Pejavar seer's statement against social reformer Basavanna. He said that the seer does not understand

Basavanna

's views because projecting him as a person who supported castes is not right," he said.

Ashok Kashenavar, Prof S V Pattanashetti of Basava Kendra and Premanath Chikkamubal were present.
