VHP now claims another Dargah in Karnataka was Anubhava Mantapa once, CM assures action
Bengaluru: Amidst the controversies surrounding the claims of fringe Hindu groups that have labeled several mosques and Muslim shrines in the country have been temples initially, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has now laid the claim on another Muslim shrine in Karnataka.
VHP and Sri Ram Sene have now claimed that Peer Pasha Dargah in Karnataka’s Basavakalyan was once an Anubhava Mantapa – a socio-religious abode founded by 12th-century social reformer Basavanna.
The VHP has called on the state government to intervene in the matter and has also called for a protest in Bidar with several Lingayat pontiffs offering support to the protest.
Speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi, Sri Ram Sene State President Siddalinga Swami alleged that the dargah was built over the Lingayat shrine during the Hyderabad Nizam’s period. The outfit claimed to have documental evidence to prove that the shrine was dedicated to followers of the Lingayat faith, founded by Basavanna.
Prominent Lingayat pontiff from Belagavi’s Hukkeri Hire Matha has called the Dargah a Hindu shrine while another group All India Veeraishaiva Mahasabha has also offered support to VHP and Sri Ram Sene.
Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai whose state has been the epicenter of communal issues over the past few months has assured to seek a report on the claims and said his government will ascertain facts based on documents.

Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
