After Prakash Rai's Sirsi function, BJP men cleanse stage by sprinkling cow's urine
Sirsi: If renowned multi-lingual actor Prakash Rai had participated in a function at Sirsi last Saturday, on Monday BJP workers 'cleansed' the stage where the actor was seated by sprinkling Gomutra or cow's urine.
Preethi Padagala Payana Committee had on Saturday organised "Our Constitution Our Pride" programme at the raghavendra Mutt premises at Sirsi. Prakash Rai who inaugurated the programme had in his speech slammed Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegade who had recently issued a statement regarding "Constitution Change." He also lambasted the Hindutva agenda of the Sangh Parivar.
Local BJP workers now claim they have cleansed the Mutt premises as well as the stage wherre Rai spoke by sprinkling Gomutra and then offering Pooja.
"The visit of people who offend Hindu Gods and consume beef has made the whole town impure. In this backdrop the religious place where the programme was held has been cleansed," he added.
However, Prakash Rai who has reacted to this cleansing procedure has tweeted and questioned whether the BJP people would sprinkle Gomutra wherever he goes.

Bangladesh's interim govt revokes ousted PM Sheikh Hasina's passport
Dhaka, Jan 7: Bangladesh's interim government on Tuesday said it has revoked the passport of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 96 others over their alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and the July killings.
Hasina, 77, has been living in India since August 5 last year when she fled Bangladesh following a massive student-led protest that toppled her Awami League's (AL) 16-year regime.
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for “crimes against humanity and genocide”.
Addressing a press briefing here, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder said, "The Passports Department cancelled passports of 22 people involved in enforced disappearances, while passports of 75 people, including Sheikh Hasina, were revoked due to their involvement in the July killings.”
He, however, did not reveal the names of the remaining individuals whose passports were cancelled, the state-run BSS news agency reported.
