Let Muslims Allow us to Recite Hanuman Chalisa in Mosque – Praveen Valke

Mangaluru: “Organising an Iftar get-together at the Sri Krishna Math by Sri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math is condemnable. Let the Muslims allow us to recite Hanuman Chalisa inside the Mosque. Sri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji should stop playing politics with Religion. We will not forgive those Muslims who shout pro-Pakistan Slogans”, said the state General Secretary of Sri Rama Sene Praveen Valke in a press meet held at the Arya Samaj Mandir, here on June 29.

Addressing the mediapersons Praveen Valke said, “Sri Vishwesha Teertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math should stop playing religious politics. We are not against the Muslim Community but the Iftar Get-together organised by Pejawar Swamiji has hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community. From the past 50 years, Pejawar Swamiji forgot to celebrate Iftar in the temple. If the Swamiji would have started to celebrate Iftar 50 years ago, such a situation would not have arised. Swamiji was the mentor of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and he would have celebrated Iftar at that time for harmony. The majority of Hindus listen to the Swamiji and respect him. After the Ram Mandir and Babri Masjid issue, there is a misunderstanding between Hindus and Muslims. If the Swamiji wants to celebrate Iftar let him also invite the Hindu leaders to the temple”.

Praveen Valke further said, “The Swamiji has misused the Hindu youth for his benefit. We too want to celebrate Iftar, we are not against Muslims, we have followed Pejawar Swamiji. When there was the Ram Mandir and Babri Masjid issue, many innocents lost their lives. After sowing seeds of poison in the Hindu community against the Muslims, now Pejawar Swamiji is celebrating Iftar with the Muslims. Our Youth did not get the opportunity to get the education, many innocent youths are in jail. Ayodya is our holy place and Ram Mandir should be built.”

Addressing the mediapersons state spokeperson of Hindu Mahasabha Dharmendra said, “Pejawar Swamiji’s Iftar Celebration inside the Math is condemnable. There is a political conspiracy in the celebrations. Five years ago when Janardhan Poojary celebrated Iftar in the Gokarnanatheshwar Temple the BJP people protested but when Pejawar Swamiji celebrated Iftar in the temple the same party has maintained silence. From the past 40 years, the Swamiji did not celebrate Iftar with the Muslim community but keeping the forthcoming elections in mind Iftar was celebrated in the temple.”

Dharmendra further said, “Swamiji also says that Muslims had donated the land for the temple but Swamiji should read and understand the history of Sri Krishna Math. Age factor has also played a role in Pejawar Swamiji’s holding Iftar in the Math. He should appoint a successor for the temple. On July 2, at Lalbagh Circle, we will hold a protest against the Iftar Celebrations held at the Temple. Swamiji should apologise to the Hindu community,” he said.

Hindu Janajagrati Samiti Chandru, Harish Amtady, Rajkumar Polali and others were also present.
