BJP MLA demands status report on SIT investigation in burials case

Members of Dharmasthala Bhaktabhimani Balaga took out a protest march in Nippani on Sunday against what they called attempts to defame Dharmasthala.

The protestors walked to the Tahsildar office and submitted a petition to the State government through the Tahsildar.

BJP MLA Shashikala Jolle, who is a former Minister, led the rally. She said that there is a conspiracy to defame Dharmasthala and the Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade.

She said that some anti-Hindu forces are orchestrating the conspiracy with the support of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

“However, all such conspiracies will die and the truth will come out. All the allegations against Dharmasthala and the Dharmadhikari will turn out to be false,” she said.

“We are organising the rally to express solidarity with Dharmasthala. We are with the Srikshetra and the Dharmadhikari. We will not allow the holy place to be desecrated,” she said.

She demanded that the State government release the SIT investigation report so far to shed light on the conspiracies being carried out against Hindu religious centers and to finally shed light on the confusion created by vested interests in the name of Dharmasthala.

Members of the municipal council, Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha and others were present.
