BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has launched a fierce attack on the Karnataka government following its decision to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into allegations of mass murders and secret burials at Dharmasthala, one of the state’s most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites. Calling the claims by an unnamed masked man “absurd,” the Bengaluru South MP questioned why the Congress-led government rushed to act on them. Surya also raised suspicions about the funding and orchestration behind the complaint, pointing to international coverage and the involvement of senior lawyers. As political temperatures rise, the controversy has ignited a heated debate over faith, politics, and credibility.
