Shri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru equivalent to god, let investigations reveal truth: Eshwarappa
Shivamogga: Former Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Saturday said he has immense respect for the Murugha Mutt’s Chief Pontiff Shri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru who was on Thursday arrested by the police over charges of sexually abusing minor girls.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday here in the city, the former minister went on to add that the Swamiji was equivalent to god for him and urged people to not jump to conclusions before thorough investigations of the allegations labeled against him.
“Let the facts come out. Let the investigations reveal the truth about the allegations made against him. It is not right to jump to conclusions before the investigations are complete.” Eshwarappa told reporters on Saturday.
He added that he, however, prayed for the allegations against the Murugha Mutt pontiff to be false since seers have always helped Hinduism grow.
Speaking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mangaluru on Friday, Eshwarappa said no political discussions were held during his visit.
“The Prime Minister focused on the development works to be undertaken. Only such issues were raised even in the core committee meeting. We are blessed to have such a patriotic leader. The Prime Minister’s visit to our state is a great source of inspiration for all of us,” he added.
Eshwarappa pointed out that people had to be brought in from various parts of the state for the recent ‘Siddaramotsava’, spending Rs. 75 crores. “In stark contrast, thousands of people came themselves to listen to the Prime Minister, following the efforts of the BJP activists in Mangaluru.”
