After Prakash Rai's Sirsi function, BJP men cleanse stage by sprinkling cow's urine
Sirsi: If renowned multi-lingual actor Prakash Rai had participated in a function at Sirsi last Saturday, on Monday BJP workers 'cleansed' the stage where the actor was seated by sprinkling Gomutra or cow's urine.
Preethi Padagala Payana Committee had on Saturday organised "Our Constitution Our Pride" programme at the raghavendra Mutt premises at Sirsi. Prakash Rai who inaugurated the programme had in his speech slammed Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegade who had recently issued a statement regarding "Constitution Change." He also lambasted the Hindutva agenda of the Sangh Parivar.
Local BJP workers now claim they have cleansed the Mutt premises as well as the stage wherre Rai spoke by sprinkling Gomutra and then offering Pooja.
"The visit of people who offend Hindu Gods and consume beef has made the whole town impure. In this backdrop the religious place where the programme was held has been cleansed," he added.
However, Prakash Rai who has reacted to this cleansing procedure has tweeted and questioned whether the BJP people would sprinkle Gomutra wherever he goes.
