Jagannath Sena convener Priyadarshan Pattnaik stated, “Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi is a vicious person. He wants people to indulge in a confrontation over religion.
Earlier while addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi, the AIMIM MP from Hyderabad quoted Swami Vivekananda stating that Sri Mandir was built by demolishing a Buddhist worship place. His statement garnered sharp remarks from the political groups amid the Gyanvapi mosque row.
According to historians, the Jagannath temple has been transformed gradually since the era of Indradyumna till Chodagangadeva.”
Organisations have demanded Owaisis’s immediate arrest and threatened to take strict actions if no action is taken against the MP.
Jagannath Sena and Yuva Adhivakta Sangh have lodged a complaint at the Singhadwar police station stating that Owaisi has hurt the sentiment of Lord Jagannath’s devotees with his remarks.
Owaisi’s statement can also create unnecessary tension among different communities,” the leaders of the Jagannath Sena said.”
