Udupi, December 28: "Dinesh Amin Mattu has been criticising me from behind. When comes in front of me, he shows more concern. Let him come before me and discuss with me", said Vishveshwara Thirtha Swamiji of Pejawara Mutt.

After the visit of President Ramanath Kovind to Pejawara Mutt and Sri Krishna Mutt here on Thursday, the Swamiji was speaking to media people and challenged the senior journalist.

While speaking at a recent programme, Dinesh Amin Mattu had said that 'since he was aged, Pejawara Swamiji was mentally unsound. He changes his words every now and then. So there is no need to take his words seriously'. When reporters asked the Swamiji, he challenged Dinesh.

"When he met me at the airport recently, he spoke me very well. But he speaks differently from behind. The road where Udupi Chalo was conducted and the place purified by the devotees of the Mutt were different. But Dinesh has been raising the issue repeatedly", he said.
