Belthangadi: It is condemnable to invite controversial figure Rohit Chakratirtha who insulted philosophers including Baba Saheb Ambedkar. DSS Ambedkar Vada Taluk Coordinator Nemiraj Killur and State Organization Coordinator Chandu L said that if they come regardless of our opposition, Dalit Sangharsh Samiti Ambedkar Vada Organization will blacklist them and start a “Go Back” campaign.
He was speaking at a conference held at the Beltangadi Journalists Association hall.It is not right that Rohit Chakratheertha was invited to the Brahmakalashotsava of Mahalingeshwar temple in Venur.
It is not right that the Brahmakalashotsava committee called Rohit Chakratirtha, the head of the book revision committee, which removed the text of Brahmashri Narayana Guru from the 10th standard textbook, to give a lecture on “Education and Religion”.
Our organization is against this.
Constitution Sculpture Dr. The Brahma Kalashotsava Samiti made a unanimous request that Rohit Chakratirtha, who had revised the text book in a way that undermined the personalities of philosophers like Baba Saheb Ambedkar, Rashtra Kavi Kuvempu, Rani Abbakka and Kayara Kinnanna Rai, and was finally removed from the Text Mastaka Revision Committee as per the government’s orders, should not be invited to the Brahma Kalashotsava meeting program. He said that we are appealing.
He also warned that if the situation does not improve, they will reveal the true colors of the Sangh Parivar through massive protests at the taluk and district levels in the coming days.
The press conference was attended by DSS Hobali coordinator Vijayakumar Ujire, organizing coordinators Jayananda Koyuru and Nagaraj S Layla, activist S Prabhakar Shantikodi.
