If proved, I’ll renounce Peetha: Pejawar seer
’Shiroor seer’s allegations in audio records are false’
Udupi, July 23: Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt said that the allegations made in the audio records by Shiroor seer about himself were false and he would give up the Peetha if the allegations were proved.
In a statement, the Pejawar seer said that “in the video, the Shiroor seer said that I had relationship with a woman during my young age. He has said that I have a daughter called Padma who is in Tamil Nadu which is not true. In the letter sent by him in last December, he has mentioned that I have a son which shows it is just an imagination”, he said.
Country will not believe it
Nobody in the country would not believe his allegation. He was ready to face the interrogation and test. This was just a false allegation. It was not possible to prove it. If it was proved, he would give up the Peetha immediately, he said.
I don’t have any role
“I did not have any role in the renunciation of Peetha by Raghu Vallabha Tirtha of Palimaru Mutt, Manojna Thirtha of Shiroor Mutt and Vidyabhushana Swamiji of Subramanya Mutt earlier. I had done all efforts to retain in the Peetha. But they had given up their positions voluntarily. It was a mistake to make me responsible for their decisions. The allegation that I had given Rs 5 lakh to Raghuvallaba was also false. He was not given a single paisa. I had not sent Vishwa Vijaya. He himself had gone. I told him about the problems if he had gone. Even then he had gone. I had told him that I would make arrangements once he came back. But he had given up the Peetha without informing me”, he said.
“I did not have any role in accepting the Ashramas by Vyasaraja Swami, Suvidyendra Swamiji and their renunciation. But Shiroor seer has alleged that I was responsible for all such acts which is not true. I did not expect any money from Shiroor seer and even did not ask him. I am ready to face any enquiry”, the swamiji said.
Statement is inevitable
Some people said that it was not fair to give statement on misuse of power of Shiroor seer after his death. They have also asked some questions on not returning the Presiding Deity and having the last darshan of Shiroor seer. But he has forcefully said that he had violated the Sannyasa dharma, he added.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
