Dharmasthala burials revelation shocked Nirmalananda Swamiji, says activist Girish Mattannavar
Bengaluru: Social activist Girish Mattannavar has stated that when Chinnayya personally revealed, in detail, the information about the bodies allegedly buried illegally in Dharmasthala, including those of victims of rape and murder, Nirmalananda Swamiji was stunned.
Posting about this on Instagram, he said that Chinnayya disclosed, point by point, not only the details of Sowjanya’s rape and murder but also other illegal killing cases before the seer. “Sowjanya was an innocent Vokkaliga girl, but justice is needed for innocent lives of every community. We stand with your struggle, the Math stands with you. I will meet the Chief Minister tomorrow itself and inform him about this issue, and we will try to secure justice for the distressed. Kaalabhairava is with you on this Kaalabhairava Sunday; be courageous,” the seer is said to have assured.
Girish added that after the Kaalabhairava darshan at the Vokkaliga Mahasamsthana, the revered Nirmalananda Guru blessed the Sowjanya justice movement and offered his protection while seated on his peetha, calling it a divine moment for all the activists.
He questioned whether it was a “conspiracy” when powerful Vokkaliga political leaders, who are known for their influence, failed to secure justice for a Vokkaliga girl like Sowjanya and instead sided with the influential family accused in the murder case, but a spiritual leader chose to bless the struggle.
He further asked, “What is wrong if the Vokkaliga family of the brutally raped and murdered girl, along with activists, seeks the blessings of the Vokkaliga seer for justice? How is that a conspiracy? Let the filthy political leaders and the sold-out media answer these questions.”
Girish Mattannavar also stated that at a time when political leaders remained blind and mute spectators to the serial rape-and-murder horror in Dharmasthala, Nirmalananda Swamiji stood up and provided moral strength to Bhageeratha Timarodi, who has been fighting relentlessly for justice. “The entire human race should feel proud of him,” he said. “Now let the dirty political leaders and some gutter-eating media tell us — where is the conspiracy? Who is the shark? Who are the urban Naxals?”
In a special note, he warned social media users not to dismiss the photos as “AI-generated.” “Those who spread such falsehoods and lose sleep over it should send it to the Fact Check Lab and fix their brains,” he wrote, using the hashtag #JusticeForSoujanya.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
