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.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
