CT Ravi Exposes ‘Mafia of Fanaticism’ Behind Dharmasthala Conspiracy | Mangaluru News
MANGALURU: There is a mafia of fanaticism behind the conspiracy against Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala. There is a conspiracy aimed at gaining mileage after faith is breached. Projecting someone as the culprit and creating public distrust even before the completion of the SIT probe into Dharmasthala mass burial cases is part of a conspiracy, said MLC C T Ravi.He was speaking to media persons at Dharmasthala during a rally organised by the BJP to extend the party’s support to Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala and Dharmadhikari D Veerendra Heggade on Sunday.“If Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has faith in the Constitution, respect for Dharmasthala, and the sentiments of devotees, he should form an SIT against the conspiracy,” said Ravi.Lauding the contributions of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, including the Annadana, medical aid, renovation of temples, etc., Ravi questioned whether these services were crimes. “Targeting Dharmasthala temple, Dharmadhikari, and his family is a crime and it is part of a larger conspiracy. I would like to ask the chief minister why no action has been initiated against those who conspired to hurt the sentiments of lakhs of devotees. Let action be taken against them,” he urged.The SIT probe should focus on both sides, including the background of the complainant witness, he said. “Let the SIT investigate the powers that worked behind the complainant witness. The SIT has dug 18 – 20 feet in Dharmasthala. What have you found there? Didn’t you realise at least now that there is a conspiracy? Those who hatched the conspiracy should be punished. Only this will satisfy the devotees of Dharmasthala,” the MLC said.Stating that the BJP is not questioning the investigation, Ravi said that there is a need for a probe against those who have defamed Dharmasthala and Dharmadhikari.Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has already said that there is a ‘conspiracy’. “Do you have fear of disclosing what the conspiracy is? If you have no fear, then you have to reveal the politics and power behind the conspiracy. This is the right time to disclose the conspiracy,” Ravi said.
