Mangalore, Oct 29: Coming down heavily on the recent development of certain sections pointing finger at Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari in Saujanya murder case, Manila Math seer Mohandas Swamiji said that though everybody wants justice for the grieving family of Saujanya, it is wrong to blindly drag Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade in the case.

“Dr Heggade has contributed in great way to both religious area and social development. It is better if name of Dharmasthala and Dharmadhikari is kept away from the case,” he said.

He was addressing a protest organized by Shri Kshethra Dharmasthala Devotees' Association and Dr Vereendra Heggade fans' club here on Tuesday.

He said that since the name of pious land like Dharmasthala has been dragged in the case, the devotees have been hurt.

“The ones seeking justice for Saujanya must stop maligning the sacredness of Dharmasthala,” he said adding that it is because of the efforts of Dr Heggade that today thousands of families are leading a dignified life.

“The rural development model formulated by Sri Kshethra has been lauded worldwide. In such a case dragging the name of the religious place and religious head and connecting them to criminal case is condemnable,” he said proclaiming that he is even ready to sacrifice his life to protect Dharmasthala.

Seer of Vajradehi Matt, Rajashekaranand too condemned the move of forces connecting Dr Heggade and Dharmasthala to Saujanya murder case.

Dugganna Savant Aras of Mulki predided over the protest meet, while Pradeep Kumar Kalukra, Mohemmed Ismael, Vajrakumar Karnathaya Ballal Aras and others were present.

Lokayukta team arrives at disputed plot; CM likely to get ED summons

Mysuru, Oct 1: The Karnataka Lokayukta team on Tuesday arrived at the disputed plot in Mysuru and began investigation into the MUDA case against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife, news agency ANI reported. Snehamayi Krishna, the complainant in the case was also present with the team.

Sources stated that ED sleuths might issue a notice to CM Siddaramaiah at any time and issue summons to him for questioning. The sleuths are also keenly watching the movements of CM Siddaramaiah’s close associates and relatives, including a cabinet minister in connection with the MUDA scam.

Sources further said that there is a possibility of the ED conducting raids across the state on offices and residences of close associates of CM Siddaramaiah. The ED has also gathered information on bank accounts and financial transactions of CM Siddaramaiah and his associates.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by the police, against CM Siddaramaiah over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife Parvathi B.M. by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The ED registered the case taking cognisance of the FIR registered against the Chief Minister by the Lokayukta police on September 27.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Lokayukta probing the MUDA case has also expedited the probe. The sleuths led by Mysuru Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh have visited the controversial land on the outskirts of Mysuru city. The petitioner, Snehamayi Krishna, also accompanied the team.

The move of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife to return 14 sites allotted by the MUDA to her has triggered a debate. BJP MLA from Mysuru T.S. Srivatsa stated on Tuesday that the move of CM’s wife is not acceptable. "The two commissioners who colluded in the MUDA scam are roaming freely even today," he said.

"CM Siddaramaiah first claimed that there was no scam at all. Later, he formed a commission and now there is an FIR against him. After committing the mistake, you offer to return the sale deed. The time is up. He will have to tender his resignation and I am sure he won’t be in the position until Dasara festivities," MLA T.S. Srivatsa stated.

T.J. Abraham, one of the petitioners in the MUDA case said, “I had demanded the MUDA commissioner to take back the allotted sites. He had written back saying the process would be initiated. They were waiting for the investigation report."

"CM Siddaramaiah has not approached the division bench or the Supreme Court to challenge the order against him because there is nothing to be challenged. Returning sites is not a big sacrifice. The Chief Minister has lost it," Abraham stated.
