Centre Has Cancelled Nithyananda’s Passport: MEA, Indian Missions And Posts Abroad Sensitised
Mumbai: The BJ government statement came as the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that it has cancelled Nithyananda’s passport, and has also “sensitised” all its foreign missions and posts to keep track of his movements.
The Embassy of Ecuador, in a statement, said they had denied Nithyananda’s request for asylum, and he left the country for Haiti.
The statement reads as, “The Embassy of Ecuador categorically denies the statement, wherever published, that self-styled Guru Nithyananda was given asylum by Ecuador or has been helped by the government of Ecuador in purchasing any land or island in South America near or far from Ecuador. Moreover, Ecuador denied the request for international personal protection (refuge) made by Mr Nithyananda before Ecuador and later on, Mr Nithyananda left Ecuador presumably on his way to Haiti.”
The controversial self-styled Godman has he charges for various cases. His character remains as a mysterious man but in the recent news for establishing a “Hindu sovereign nation” for “dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries.”
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, declining to comment on Nithyananda’s proclaiming a “Hindu homeland Kailaasa”, said that when the ministry was informed about the cases against Nithyananda they cancelled his passport.
The MEA spokespersons Raveesh Kumar said that “We have sensitized our missions and posts, that he is wanted for several crimes in India so that if he transmits the country or is in that country we should be informed.”
Last month, an FIR was registered against Nithyananda after two girls went missing from his ashram in Ahmedabad – Yogini Sarvagyapeetham. He was charged with kidnapping and wrongful confinement of children to make them collect donations from followers to run his ashram.
