Pejawar seer’s proposed Iftar party cancelled
Udupi, June 10: The proposed Iftar party of Vishvesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt scheduled to be held at Ajjarakadu Govinda Kalyana Mandir in the city on June 13 is cancelled.
During the Swamiji’s Paryaya period, the swamiji had conducted the Iftar party at Sri Krishna Mutt and allowed the Muslims to have their prayer last year. Later, the swamiji’s decision stirred a controversy and Sri Rama Sene had conducted a protest against this issue.
This time, the swamiji has decided to conduct the Iftar party at Govinda Kalyana Mandir and this has created a lot of debates. Now, it is said that the swamiji has cancelled the Iftar party following the outrage from the people.
Sources in the mutt said that as the swamiji has lot of engagements and on tour, he has cancelled the Iftar party. When Arief Doddanagudde and Ansar Ahmed of swamiji’s Blood Donating team met the swamiji in Bengaluru, the swamiji informed them that the proposed Iftar party was cancelled, it is said.
Ansar Ahmed told Varthabharati that “the swamiji himself has organized the Iftar party. We have made all preparations for the party. But as some organizations have opposed the swamiji’s decision and put pressure on the swamiji, the iftar party is cancelled”, he said.
