DC prohibits Kadasiddeshwara Swami from entering Vijayapura district for two months
Vijayapura: Deputy Commissioner Anand K has passed an order prohibiting the entry of Adrushya Kadasiddeshwara Swami, of Kanneri Mutt on the Maharashtra border, into the district for a period of two months.
The comments made by the seer during a programme held in Beelur in Jatta district of Maharashtra recently were greatly objected to by the followers of Basavanna, who said that the Swami had made a defamatory statement against not only the philosophy of Basavanna but also pontiffs of Lingayat Mutts. The followers accused Kadasiddeshwara Swami of using derogatory and obscene language, adding that their religious sentiments were hurt by the seer’s statement.
In addition, the Kanneri Mutt Swami’s comments have resulted in protests in Vijayapura, Basavakalyana, Kudalasangama, Belagavi, Davanagere, Bidar and Gadag, among other parts of the state.
The Deputy Commissioner, at the request of the police officers, has banned Kadasiddeshwara Swami from entering Vijayapura district from October 16 to December 14.
DC Anand, in his official statement, has said that the seer was likely to participate in the programme observing the death anniversary of Samartha Sadguru Siddarameshwara Maharaja in Basavanabagewadi town on October 16 and 17. The ban on entry has also been passed given the possibility that the seer’s presence at the programme will disrupt law and order, the officer added.
