Mangalore: The controversial Swami Pranavananda – who faces at least 29 civil and criminal cases against him in the state – came before the 2nd JMF court, Mangalore to attend a case hearing, after a warrant was issued to him.

The case was filed by Popular Front of India (PFI) and Kommu Sauharda Vedike on the seer’s ‘Kadaga Deekshe’ remark.

Judge adjourned the hearing to November, 21.

Later, speaking to the reporters, Swami Pranavananda, who is the national president of Bharatiya Kranti Sena said, “I am not against any religion. Protection of Hindu identity in the country is my aim. It does not mean I am against the Christians or Muslims. But, all of them must work for the country”, he said.

He said, the concept of Hindu nation does does not mean that it is against minorities, but they should not go against the nation.
