Former Karnataka Home Minister MB Patil slams Udupi Pejawar Swami for his remarks on Lingayat
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Home Minister MB Patil on Friday lashed out at Udupi Pejawar Swamiji for the latter’s remarks on the Lingayat community wherein he had asserted that Lingayat and Veerashaiva communities are part of Hindu religion.
Speaking at reporters on Friday in the city, Patil lashed out at Pejawar Swami and added that he should focus more on correcting what’s wrong at his math in Udupi.
“He speaks about unification of Hindu religion, then why don’t they have a Dalit Pejawar in their Math? If they really are worried about unification they should make a Dalit pejawar at the Math they should eat food with Dalits which they don’t” Patil added.
“Who is he to call us for an open debate on the issue? Is he a Prime Minister? Is he our high command” Patil added.
