Swami Paripoornananda, the head of Sri Peetham, is still under house arrest. It is known news that he planned to do Dharmic Yatra in protest of Kathi Mahesh comments. However, now Swami slammed Babu gogineni too and said, Babu is violating constitution.
He opined, in the name of freedom of speech, nobody should hurt the sentiments and emotions of people. He told, doing so is a constitutional violation. He added, Babu gogineni is inspiration for all these people who are making demeaning comments on religion and so he also should be punished as he is doing a constitutional breach.
But even though Swami Paripoornananda comments on Kathi Mahesh hold water as Kathi Mahesh crossed the limits, his comments on Babu Gogineni seem to be not valid. Babu gogineni revealed he is an atheist and as per constitution, he has the right to be an atheist. Moreover, as per Indian Constitution, article 51A, “to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform” is a fundamental duty of every Indian. So, if we go by this article, Babu gogineni is actually following constitution rather than violating it.
It is better if Paripoornananda also leaves the matter here as Kathi Mahesh is already punished by police and nobody wants this issue to be dragged further.
