Jain Community Lodges Complaint Over Offensive Social Media Remarks Against Monks
In a letter addressed to the Station House Officer of the Karkala police station, Sheetal Jain, President of the Sanmitra Jain Association (R.), alleged that a video clip featuring offensive commentary about Jain religious teachings had been circulated online. The video, reportedly posted on the Facebook page of Asianet Suvarna News, included remarks made by a person identified as Girish Mattannavar.
Reacting to this video, another individual — Chandrakrishna Shetty from Bermattu — allegedly shared a highly objectionable post on his personal Facebook account, referring to a Jain monk in vulgar terms. According to the letter, Shetty described the monk as a "man without shame" and falsely accused Jain monks of justifying crimes, including sexual violence. 'Nīnēnta puṭt gosiyū illada muni mārāya... ondu Hindu heṇṇina atyācāravannu samarthane māḍuva bevarsi munigalu' ('a monk without even a shred of dignity… a disgraceful monk who justifies the rape of a Hindu woman'), the letter quotes.
