PROBE SOUGHT INTO ‘IRREGULARITIES’ IN AVADHOOTA DATTA PEETHAM
Bengaluru: Senior freedom fighter HS Doreswamy has urged the state government to conduct an impartial inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the Avadhoota Datta Peetham of Mysuru and justice must be provided to the victims by closing down the ashram.
Addressing a press conference here, he said that the Ashram has branches in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and other states. Unmarried women are staying illegally in all the ashrams. Ganapati Sachidananda Swamiji of Datta Petham is fond of the foreign culture. Hence, Our primary culture is being sidelined in the name of Hindu religion.
“Women and girls are being treated inappropriately in the ashram. The state government should immediately order the probe against such Swamis and Ashrams who are abusing the religious sentiments of the people,” Doreswamy alleged.
