Mangalore; Oct 13: Datta Male campaign will be held in the presence of swamijis from across Karnataka and in the leadership of Pramod Mutalik, from October 24 to October 26 at Dattapeetha in Chikamgalur district. All volunteers must attend the same, requested Dinkar Shetty, legal advisor, Sri Rama Sene at the press conference held here on Friday October 12.
It is estimated that nearly five thousand volunteers of the Sene from Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts will take part in Datta male campaign, he added.
The district administration of Chikamgalur must see that it would make all arrangements for smoother execution of the intention of Rama Sene, if not Sene would fulfill its 'desire' at any cost, he cautioned.
All pilgrims in the campaign must put on Datta Male, saffron shawl and two coconuts, rice collected through begging must be brought to Dattapeetha, he suggested.
It is expected that nearly three hundred people from Udupi will put on the male on Friday October 12 and three fifty people are expected to put on Datta Male on Sunday October 14 at the city and on the whole totally twenty five thousand people from across Karnataka would take part in the campaign, he made a rough guess.
