Immediately after she alleged her supreme guru Nithyananda was being persecuted in India for reviving Hindu traditions, "permanent ambassador of the United States of Kailasa" Vijayapriya Nithyananda has come up with a clarification.
She has taken to Twitter to claim that the "United States of Kailasa holds India in high regard".
"We would like to issue a clarification regarding my statement at the United Nations that is being misinterpreted, willfully manipulated, and distorted by certain anti-Hindu sections of the media," Vijayapriya added.
She also urged the Indian government to take action against these anti-Hindu elements who continue to attack and incite violence against The SPH and KAILASA. "It is important to note that these actions do not reflect the values or beliefs of the vast majority of the Indian population. We request the Indian government to take swift and decisive action against the anti-Hindu elements who persistently incite violence against The SPH and KAILASA," she added.
I would like to clarify that I stated that the SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam is persecuted in his birthplace by certain anti-Hindu elements.

Thank you

Last week, while attending a United Nations meeting, Vijayapriya asked the UN what measures could be taken at the national and international levels to prevent the persecution of Nithyananda and the 20 million Hindu migrant population in Kailasa.
While her speech and presence at two UN committee meetings in Geneva in February raised eyebrows, the UN human rights office said any submissions made by the representatives at its public meetings in Geneva were "irrelevant".
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said they were not allowed to distribute promotional material and their remarks were not taken into consideration. "Registration for such public events is open to NGOs and the general public. Anyone can submit information to the treaty bodies, who will use their judgment to determine the credibility of the submissions received," the OHCHR spokesperson said as quoted by the news agency PTI.
"On 24 February, at CESCR's general discussion, when the floor was opened to the public, a USK representative spoke briefly. As the focus of the statement was tangential to the topic at hand, it will not be taken into consideration by the Committee in the formulation of the General Comment," the spokesperson added.
India's permanent mission at the UN has not issued a comment in this regard.
