Muslim followers of Karnataka's most powerful seer, Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji, pontiff of the Pejawar Mutt in pilgrimage centre of Udupi, have been allegedly threatened by miscreants from West Asia. The miscreants threatened them against extending support to the seer, who is spearheading the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.



The seer's long-time follower and his ex-driver Mohammed Arif had made elaborate arrangements for the seer's Paryaya(ritual) in which Muslims contributed immensely. It is a tradition for Muslims in coastal Karnataka to participate in the Paryaya at the Udupi Sri Krishna Temple.

Recently, Arif received death threats from callers in West Asia. He has lodged a police complaint and a probe has commenced. Similarly, two other Muslim followers of the seer have also received death threats over phone.
