The Supreme Court on Friday ordered a trial court in Karnataka to reconsider a petition by the Dharmasthala Temple secretary seeking to block the publication of allegedly defamatory reports related to the Dharmasthala mass burials case.
Reflecting on the formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the Dharmasthala case, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said that once the SIT investigation is complete, the government will look into the matter.
"This matter pertains to individuals, not the Shri Manjunatha Swamy temple in Dharmasthala. No one should target the temple. Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar is a devout believer, and he should act in accordance with divine will. Speaking recklessly about the Dharmasthala temple is wrong
Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday asserted that the government will look into the demand for an SIT probe into the discovery of bodies in Dharmasthala and take a decision based on the necessities.
