BENGALURU: Udupi-Chikmagalur BJP MP Kota Srinivasa Poojary has appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a probe by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against some individuals and YouTubers who allegedly receive funds from abroad to harm religious beliefs of Hindus.
In a letter to Shah, the MP stated that a group has attempted to tarnish the image of Dharmasthala Manjunatha Swamy Temple in Dakshina Kannada.
The deputy chief minister of Karnataka has publicly announced that a conspiracy has been hatched to destabilise the temple management.
“Media houses have reported that a politician from Tamil Nadu is pressuring the Congress high command to orchestrate a plan to undermine the faith of Hindus in Karnataka,” the MP stated.
Meanwhile, BJP state president BY Vijayendra said the state government has not filed cases against those behind the false propaganda. “Who is behind the false propaganda against Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala? Whose conspiracy is this? Such things can’t remain hidden for long,” he added.
