I have raised voice only against Shiroor seer’s suspicious death: Kemaru seer
Swamiji is threatened in social media
Mangaluru, July 25: “I have not interfered in the internal affairs of Udupi Ashta Mutts and I would not do it. But I have raised my voice against the suspicious death of Shiroor swamiji”, said Esha Vittala Dasa Swamiji of Kemaru Mutt.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, the swamiji said that Udupi Ashta Mutts and the personal issue of Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji of Shiroor Mutt was not related to him. Doctors have said that before the death, there was poison in the body of Shiroor swamiji. He has urged the police department to conduct a probe to find out whether the food of the swamiji had become poisonous or he was poisoned. Udupi SP had promised him of conducting a proper investigation into the issue. The investigation was going on and he would not oppose it, he said.
“I have faith in the Constitution of the country. If Shiroor swamiji made a mistake, the law would have taken its action. But nobody has the right to kill him. The autopsy report and FLS report would throw light on the reasons for the death”, he said.
‘Life threat through social media’
“After the death of Shiroor swamiji, I have demanded probe into the suspicious death. For this reason, I have been receiving threats through WhatsApp and Facebook. There is a suspicion about the death after the doctor’s version, for which I have demanded probe. Citing this issue, I was threatened in the social media. I will think of giving a police complaint against this development”.

Nation was under Emergency when Vande Mataram completed 100 years: PM Modi in LS
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lamented that when national song Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the Constitution was "throttled" and nation chained by Emergency.
Initiating a discussion on 150 years of Vande Mataram in the Lok Sabha, Modi noted that when Vande Mataram completed 50 years, India was reeling under colonialism.
"When Vande Mataram completed 50 years, country was under colonial rule while at its 100th anniversary the nation was under Emergency," he said.
The prime minister noted that the mantra of Vande Mataram gave power and inspiration to the entire country during freedom struggle
"The mantra energised and inspired India’s freedom movement and showed the path of courage and determination. Remembering that sacred Vande Mataram today is a great privilege for all of us in this House.

"It is a matter of pride for us that we are witnessing the historic occasion of Vande Mataram completing 150 years," he said.
"When Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the nation was chained by the Emergency. At that time, the Constitution was throttled and those who lived and died for patriotism were pushed behind prison bars. The Emergency was a dark chapter in our history. Now we have the opportunity to restore the greatness of Vande Mataram. And I believe this opportunity should not be allowed to pass," Modi said.
