Sasikala Teacher’s threat against Mahabharata is a cover-up for Bullet Swami’s rape attempt
Recently, a 23 year old law student from Trivandrum gained national attention after she chopped off her rapist’s genitals. The woman was attacked by a 54-year-old man, who had claimed to her family to be a religious guru.
Ganeshananda Theerthapada alias Srihari, a self-proclaimed god man, had been assaulting the woman for for several years. Her parents blindly trusted the Swami, and he used to get frequent invites to perform special ceremonies and stay over at their house, where he assaulted her. The girl has been getting support from all the corners for showing the courage to act against the rapist.
The incident brought embarrassment to the BJP as TV channels and social medias are flooded with videos of the accused sitting with party state president Kummanam Rajasekharan. He was also in the forefront of many agitations involving fringe Hindu outfits.
Distancing BJP from the incident, Kummanam Rajashekharan said, “I attended many functions with sanyasis. It doesn’t mean all of them are connected with BJP. We favour strong action against him.”
However, that has not pacified the outpour against them in social medias. Many believe that Hindu Aikya Vedi chairperson KP Sasikala’s threat against The Mahabharata, was an attempt to cover-up the rape issue.
KP Sasikala recently had said that they will not allow the release of the upcoming movie The Mahabharata.The movie is the official adaptation of legendary writer MT Vasudevan Nair’s novel Randamoozham, which in turn is based on the Hindu epic Mahabharatha.

The movie is the official adaptation of legendary writer MT Vasudevan Nair’s novel Randamoozham, which in turn is based on the Hindu epic Mahabharatha.
According to Sasikala, Randamoozham is a novel that distorted the writings in the Hindu epic Mahabharatha and hence the movie adaptation of the novel should not be titled as The Mahabharata. She warned that if the makers did not change the movie’s title, the Kerala Hindu Aikya Vedi would not allow it’s release.
A section of social media users see this as a well conspired attempt to divert the attention from the swamy’s rape case. It is also alleged that the pro-Hindu outfits have blinded the medias with big bucks to squash the issue by giving less coverage.
