Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt is the center of communalism: Amin Mattu
Mangaluru: There are no revolutionaries like Pajavara Shree. Pajavara Shree has been giving statements about the construction of Ram Mandir. Srikrishna Mutt is the center of communalism, said journalist, thinker Dinesh Amin Mattu.
He was speaking at a seminar and releasing ceremony of the Kannada translation of Teesta Setalvad's book 'Samvidhanada Kaalalu' at St. Aloysius College Hall in Bavutagudde in the City on Sunday.
Earlier an Iftar Party was organized for Muslims in Sri Krishna Mutt, Udupi. Muslims were overjoyed. People of the coastal region should be aware and must not fall into the trap of communal forces.
Secular, democratic protection against communalism is not easy. Cultural politics is powerful weapon than electoral politics, this is today's emergency.
Elections are essential for the improvement of the system. Public representatives must get the authority of elections and need to make it reach to the general public.

Two more Hindu priests arrested in Bangladesh: ISKCON Kolkata
Kolkata, Nov 30: Two more Hindu priests were arrested in Bangladesh, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Saturday.
Speaking to PTI, Radharamn said, "I have received information that two more ISKCON monks have been arrested by police in Bangladesh."
In a post on X on Friday night, Radharamn said, "In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them."
Earlier on Friday, Radharamn had posted, "Another Brahmachari, Sri Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested by Chattogram Police today."
"Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing," Radharamn posted on X on Saturday. His comments comes comes in the backdrop of unconfirmed reports of arrest of three more ISKCON monks, days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmay Das.
Chinmay Das, who also served as a spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail on Tuesday by the Chattogram Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
Historically, Hindus made up approximately 22 per cent of Bangladesh's population during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Hindu population, once a substantial demographic in Bangladesh, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades, with the minority community now comprising only around 8 per cent of the country's total population.
This drop is largely attributed to a combination of socio-political marginalisation, exodus and sporadic violence over the years.
In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them. #Bangladesh #ISKCON pic.twitter.com/NLX8hNZmpN
