State Govt to take 'very strict' Action Against Nityananda

Bangalore, Mar 4 (PTI) : Karnataka Government today said it would take 'very strict' action against the absconding self-styled godman whose controversial video footage appeared on a Tamil television channel allegedly showing him in a compromising position. 

Home Minister V S Acharya said in the Assembly "very strict" action would be taken against Nityananda Swami, after receiving information from Tamil Nadu, where his main ashram is located.

Raising the issue, Opposition Congress leader Siddaramaiah sought immediate arrest and confiscation of property of Nityananda, who has an ashram at Bidadi in neighbouring Ramanagara district.

"Criminal case and non-bailable offence should be registered against him, and he should be sent to jail", Siddaramaiah said.Crowd had attacked the Bidadi ashram yesterday after TV channels telecast what they claimed was footage of Nityananda in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

Acharya said there are disputes over ownership of the land where the ashram is located at Bidadi, adding, it appears to be Government land.

    This word of HM is nothing but pacify angry followers and to divert the attention from the issue. Please wait and see. We have seen what action HM has taken who have beaten women in the pubs, attacked churches and masjids. Even peaceful protestors of christian community are beaten. Faithfuls who were paraying in the churches were dragged and batoned. No action has been taken. This govt is representing only one section of major community and this swami hails from that community. How come he take action against him.

    If he initiates any action, he may be asked to resign and work as a doctor. He too is helpless and is a puppet in the hands of his mentor organisations. So guys, please dont be optimistic. With the passage of time, the issue will die down and go down the drain. Our HM will go to deep slumber and will wake up until next sex scandal rocks and then he will give another similar statement. This is our democracy and we are fools in this democracy. Might is right.

    " Strict Action" is a Big Joke! What action can they take? At the most if that Swami has encroached Government land or evaded taxes or accumalted Black money any action can be taken . Otherwise for those things shown on media nothing can be done because the lady in the picture has not filed any complaint. Then the Tamil media has not come out with any proof that it happened at such and such place.
    Our own Karnataka Governments minister's photo with a nurse had come in newspapers ! Lokayuktha is digging Crores of Rupees and handing over to Government to take " Strict Action". When the Government can not take Strict Action at its own people and bureucrats then why double standard for so called " Swamiji"s???

    Dear John M.USA,Economics doesn't stand on one leg. All the fundamentals have to be taken into consideration in drawing a clear picture about the true state of economy.Get in touch with Swaminathan Iyer he will explain in his book & columns. Where US bungled with total freedom to pvt. sector Indain RBI kept everyhting under semi control-thanks for that effort when 2 crisis's(Asian & now US blunder in Housing & Banking Scams) haven't affected Indian economy as much as it did the whole world.More IT techies are coming back to India to establish their own companies in India now than at any time. That's why even China is worried-that India might become a Super Power in near future, & are helping destablise Indian economic interests overtly & covertly.

    Nityananda used to lure women with bad intention. Later he make them stay with him, have sex with the disciples and other hired women. Further, he used to take video of his compromising act clandestinely and black mails the innocent victims.
    This had come to light because he had given on of his mobile for repair and the technician in the service centre had discovered the sex video clippings on his mobile which he downloaded and flashed out to the public.
    But such incidents are there in every religion, as I said earlier, there are good and bad people in every aspect of the society including in the holy men. Whether it is RSS, Shiv Sena, Al Qaida, Taliban, Nityananda, To Dick or Harry, they all exploit religion for their personal ill-wealth, fame and position. This is just a tip of the iceberg, there are so many infamous holy-men sucking the society.

    Mohammed,Moodabidre-u have got the economics totally wrong. If dollar rate is Rs 50-then then Indian IT industries & exporters get more money-means more pay to employees-more pay means-more power for them to purchase-more tax for govt., more work for all the people.Reverse is true if Dollar rate goes down.
    Cosmetics,snacks&tea are exported from India & not imported(by Indian Companies). The soft drinks comapanies make only a few paise per bottle-remaining money is paid towards taxes, local levies, transportation & distributed among Indian chain of Distributors.They cannot repatriate any money without RBI's permission,& it keeps the balance better in the whole world.As company grows they need to pump in more money to expand & recruit than take away any profits. All Economies are interdependent, if we don't import foreign goods then they won't import our godds as well. We cannot go back to stone age.
    Indain Economy is the Second Best in the whole world(after China). The whole World's economy is down but No Indian Company Has closed down-only bogus companies have folded up. Indian GDP-7to8% while Europe & USA-3to4%. More Indian Companies are recruiting now than any other Country. Who-ever has given u this article show him this comment I need to send a book to cover Indian Economic Boom.

    Acharya's government seems to be ignorant as to the laws of the country. " Compromising position" between two consenting adults is strictly ABOVE any law, swami or sevak..... So, taking "strict action" against the godman is neither Acharya's duty nor is it in his power. Maybe he can begin with arresting people who really break the law by assaulting other people, destroying property like churches etc. and beating up helpless girls....or maybe Acharya's government has mistakenly understood that it is the full-time custodian of only Hindutva...

    I wonder what crime swamy has committed other than adultery that too consnsual? Is there any rule that Saints can't have sex? Did he forced any of his devotees to believe him? Did he cheat any body? People who believed a man like him are fools. Having said that I truely believe that he must have involved in lot of other illegal activities.

    Dear Dr VS Acharya,

    I am pleased about your "Strict Action" statement.

    You are really a great statesman in line with Gandhi,Churchill and Lincoln, not mere politician like all of your worthy successors!!!

    Most of the recent achievements during Mr Yediyurappa's regime, you have lot of contribution like attack on churches, pubs, Mosques, then blaming them on conversions with straight face!!!

    By your action , you made Renukacharya look like an angel.

    I have a suggestion for you, if anybody from Bidadi miss Swami Nityananda, we have your two former blue-eyed boys(Attavar and Puttila) in your custody, you can take them there and put them in that "Ashram", we can live without them here.

    Jai ho Acharya!

    Till now he was not arrested!Why don't govt appoint an reciever for the Ashram?
    He spent so many years to build this illgotten empire and people with no time wasting destroyed it.

    I think the property he made belongs to now for the state and in this regard immediate inicitive should be taken as at present govt watching the situation very cool and allowing to vandalise public property.

    As in the comment of Mr C D Mello,if govt sees Mr Renukacharya's(present Exise Minister Govt of Karnataka!!!) case in one eye and this one in another eye the "niyath" will be not appriciated by public.Jai Karanataka

    Lets not waste time in this and lets join together in improving Indian economy.
    YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.

    Please spare a couple of minutes here... for the sake of India ... our country.


    I got this article from one of my friends, but it's true, I can see this in day to day life,

    Small example,
    Before 5 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 39
    After 5 months. Now it is 1 $ = IND Rs 50

    Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

    Our Economy is in u'r hands


    INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.


    More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.


    A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.


    We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up even worst
