Shri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru equivalent to god, let investigations reveal truth: Eshwarappa
Shivamogga: Former Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Saturday said he has immense respect for the Murugha Mutt’s Chief Pontiff Shri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru who was on Thursday arrested by the police over charges of sexually abusing minor girls.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday here in the city, the former minister went on to add that the Swamiji was equivalent to god for him and urged people to not jump to conclusions before thorough investigations of the allegations labeled against him.
“Let the facts come out. Let the investigations reveal the truth about the allegations made against him. It is not right to jump to conclusions before the investigations are complete.” Eshwarappa told reporters on Saturday.
He added that he, however, prayed for the allegations against the Murugha Mutt pontiff to be false since seers have always helped Hinduism grow.
Speaking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mangaluru on Friday, Eshwarappa said no political discussions were held during his visit.
“The Prime Minister focused on the development works to be undertaken. Only such issues were raised even in the core committee meeting. We are blessed to have such a patriotic leader. The Prime Minister’s visit to our state is a great source of inspiration for all of us,” he added.
Eshwarappa pointed out that people had to be brought in from various parts of the state for the recent ‘Siddaramotsava’, spending Rs. 75 crores. “In stark contrast, thousands of people came themselves to listen to the Prime Minister, following the efforts of the BJP activists in Mangaluru.”

Rajpal Yadav apologises for Diwali video after backlash, deletes post
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav recently found himself in a controversy following a video he shared on Diwali. In the video, Yadav urged people not to burst firecrackers, citing concerns over noise and air pollution, as well as the distress caused to animals. However, this message sparked backlash on social media, where users criticised him, citing his past endorsement of non-vegetarian brands. Following the criticism, Yadav deleted the video and issued a public apology in a new post, expressing regret for any offence caused.
In his apology, Yadav wished everyone a happy Diwali and said, "Two days ago, I shared a video on my social media, which I have now deleted. I sincerely apologise if it hurt anyone's feelings. Celebrate Diwali joyfully, stay healthy, and be happy."
After Yadav’s apology, several people expressed disappointment, questioning whether environmental awareness is being unfairly targeted. Some users remarked on the trend of trolling those promoting environmental responsibility, while others criticised Yadav's decision to apologise, calling it an unwarranted concession to trolls. Noted journalist Dr. Mukesh Kumar commented on the situation, stating that Yadav should have stood by his message. Kumar argued that voices promoting positive change should not be silenced by what he termed as the influence of "uneducated masses manipulated by political agendas."
Amid the controversy, Rajpal Yadav returns to the big screen as Chhote Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. In an interview, Yadav mentioned that he would be portraying the character in a fresh style, adding a new dimension to the familiar role.

इतनी जल्दी सरेंडर नहीं करना चाहिए था राजपाल जी। आपको अपने काम पर, अपने उद्देश्य पर यक़ीन होना चाहिए और उस पर डटे रहना चाहिए।

इस समय असभ्य, आशालीन और उपद्रवकारी लोगों की बाढ़ आई है। ये इतने बुद्धिहीन हैं कि आपके इतने महत्वपूर्ण संदेश को समझ ही नहीं पाए होंगे।
