Udupi, (The Hindu): Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt said on Tuesday that he had given his suggestion that the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community should not get divided and leave the fold of Hindu community, because of his affection for the former.

Replying to queries from mediapersons that some Ministers in the State government had objected to his suggestion, the Pejawar seer said that he had given his suggestion only out of his affection and because he did not want any division within the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community or in the Hindu community.

Another reason for giving the suggestion was because of the trust and cordial relations he had with the seers of the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community. “Nobody should misunderstand my suggestion,” he said.

The seer said that so far the State government had not submitted any proposal to the Union government on the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community becoming a religion. There was only discussion going on this matter.

“If there is division in the Hindu community, it will be a loss for both,” he said.
