BJP MLC A H Vishwanath criticised pontiffs of mutts for their involvement in politics.

Speaking at a press conference here on Wednesday, Vishwanath said that it is unfortunate that the pontiffs have come on street supporting Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's continuation as the CM.

"The pontiffs should not come in support of a particular person or a party. The mutts should be part of the society and not a part of a party," he said.

Vishwanath also said that politics should not be brought into Dharma but there should be Dharma in politics. There is not Dharma in present political system, he said.
