Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday requested seers of various mutts in the State to raise their voice against the alleged insult meted out to Balagangadharanatha Swami, Shivakumar Swami, Narayana Guru, and Kuvempu, among others, by the the textbook revision taken up by the BJP government.
“The Siddaganga seer, the Murugha Mutt seer, and the Adichunchungiri seer, among others, have let their disappointment out. It is not about providing political support to us,” he told reporters here on Sunday. “Seers are there to protect our country. When such issues come to the fore, they should not sit quietly out of fear. What can the government do? That is why seers have to raise their voice. They should question the injustice meted out to the society. It is not about one caste”.
