A girl cannot near a seer in current times: Veerashaiva leader Shamanuru Shivashankarappa
Chitradurga: We are living in times when it is difficult for a girl to approach a seer, Shamanuru Shivashankarappa, veteran political leader and president of the Veerashaiva Mahasabha, has said.
Addressing a national-level theatre programme in Sanehalli, Hosdurg taluk, on Tuesday, Shivashankarappa expressed his worries in the backdrop of the Murugha Mutt pontiff facing charges of sexual assault on minor girls.
“Parents from any background would want their children to get good education and prosper in life. Now, we are witnessing a situation where a parent would fear sending a girl near a pontiff,” said the leader, also condemning such a social situation.
Advising girls also to be careful, Shivashankarappa stated that the Veerashaiva Mahasabha would take appropriate decision in the matter.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
