Kerala Brahmin outfit Yogakshema Sabha rubbished ‘black magic’ claims of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and the latter’s claims were just his political gimmick.
Akeeraman Kalidasan Bhattathiripad, president of the Yogakshema Sabha, a welfare association for the Namboothiri community told OnManorama that it was Shivakumar's political gimmick. Calling the allegation baseless, Akeeraman added there was no such perversity in the Hindu society, the publication reported.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar claimed politicians from Karnataka are conducting a black magic ritual in Kerala to topple the Siddaramaiah-led government in the State. The deputy CM asserted that the “force” in which he believes will save him.
Shivakumar told presspersons that he has received credible information that ‘Shatru Bhairavi Yaga’ is being performed against him, CM Siddaramiah near a temple in Kerala to topple the state government. “A big experiment is going on against me in Kerala and our government. Someone has given (details) about it to me in writing, about the pooja that is going on. Someone gave me in writing as to where it is being done and who is doing it," Shivakumar said.
The Karnataka Congress chief said aghoris were consulted and pujas are being performed at a place near Rajarajeshwari temple in Kerala for Shatru Samhara (destruction of enemies). “For this yaga 'Pancha Bali' (five kinds of sacrifice) is being given - 21 goats, three buffaloes, 21 black sheeps, five pigs... Aghoris are being approached. It is going on," he added.
The Congress leader, responding to a question whether BJP or JD(S) people are doing it, Shivakumar said, "I know who is doing it, who is getting it done, they are experts in it....I don't want to talk much as you (media) will take it to somewhere else. You, too, would know who it is."
"More than their yaga, I have the blessings of God and people, also my belief," Shivakumar said.
