The Akhila Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha today said it would not accept the Karnataka cabinet's decision to recommend to the Centre granting religious minority tag to the dominant Lingayat and Veerashaiva Lingayat community.
Calling the cabinet decision the "height of injustice", Mahasabha President Shamanur Shivashankarappa, also the ruling Congress MLA, said a meeting has been convened on March 23 to discuss the next course of action.
Calling Veershaiva dharma a 'very ancient one', he expressed discontent over yesterday's cabinet decision.
Speaking to reporters at Davangere after meeting senior Veerashaiva seers, hesaid "We have called a meeting of Veerashaiva Mahasabha onMarch 23; prima facie itself this (decision of the cabinet)makes it clear that it is the height of injustice."
