Bengaluru, Apr 26: A delegation of BJP and Bajrang Dal leaders along with the Seers of several Maths of the state met chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday, April 26 here seeking a permanent solution to the Bababudangiri dispute.

The deadline set by the Supreme Court for the Karnataka government to decide the title claims over the disputed cave shrine, Guru Dattatreya Bababudan Swami Dargah, atop Bababudangiri in Chikkamagaluru district ends on May 9.

The delegation was led by Chikkamagaluru MLA C T Ravi. The delegation told the chief minister that according to the revenue department and muzrai records, the Datta Peetha and the Dargah are located at different places and both Hindus and Muslims be allowed to offer prayers separately.

Peaceful solution

The delegation also said that politicisation of the dispute should be prevented. "We want all stakeholders to be given an ample opportunity to furnish their opinions." the delegation said.

The delegation sought appointment of priests to offer pooja to the 'Padukas' and 'Nandadeepa' at the shrine on a daily basis.

In 1978, the property of the Dargah was taken over by the Wakf board. The ‘Sajjada Nasheen’, the hereditary administrator of the Sufi shrine, challenged the move and got a decree in its favour.

A Cabinet sub-committee headed by Law Minister T B Jayachandra was constituted recently to decide on the government’s next step.

Speaking to reporters later Siddaramaiah said that the government will also seek legal advice on the dispute.

    Chikmagalur is once compared to Switzerland of Karnataka. There was 'Bababudangiri' existed for decades for religion without any dispute. Since BJP made political issue picturesque land has turned to be 'Ayodhya' of Karnataka which has huge tourism potential.

    The BJP and Bajrang Dal makes an attempt to whip up communal frenzy and take over a Sufi shrine in Karnataka's Chikmagalur district.The Sangh Parivar carries on a motivated campaign to Hinduise a Sufi shrine in Chickmagalur, noted for its syncretic form of worship, as the State administration hesitates to enforce relevant court rulings.
    The Sangh Parivar has made its agenda for the dargah clear enough, which is to convert it into a Hindu temple and rid it of its Muslim priest and the Sajjade Nishan. In 1996, the VHP formed a Dattatreya Puja Samiti and introduced a number of Hindu rituals into the worship at the shrine. It first introduced Dattatreya Jayanti, a day different from the date of the traditional Urs held in March every year. A day's celebration soon became three days of festivities, and by 1999, the Bajrang Dal, taking advantage of a pliant district administration, took Brahmin archakas or priests to the shrine with an idol of Ganesha to perform puja during the three days of Dattatreya Jayanti. The Mujavar was asked to leave the premises during that period. In addition to the Dattatreya Jayanti, they also introduced a Datta Maale function along the pattern of worship at the Sabarimala shrine in Kerala, where prospective pilgrims must vow to observe a period of ritual purity before visiting the shrine.

    In 1998, the J.H. Patel government came down firmly on a plan by the Bajrang Dal to "liberate" the shrine, forcing the organisation to call off its campaign. However from the next year onwards, the State government accorded the organization permission to conduct the yearly Datta Jayanti celebrations for three days, during which time the shrine is converted into a Hindu temple.

    1. God does not live in a temple or in a mosque
    2. Bababudangiri is a sufi shrine and it belongs to people of faith in both Islam and Hinduism
    3. It is being communalised by the BJP/RSS/ABVP.
    4. What is required is to know the story of the shrine and maintain the syncretic and pluralistic tradition of the shrine.
    5. When politics enters faith, God is dead and when faith enters human heart there is divinity everywhere
    6. I wish the CM would ask the communal BJP to keep away from the shrine

    NM, where is the proof? Anything can be said in air but they need to be proved in the courts else it is false allegation that is politically​ motivated,
    Scams under UPA where proved in Supreme court and SC cancelled the 2G licenses and the coal auctions. Do you think people will believe these points you listed above without evidence and court ruling? People are not fools
