Hold India In High Regard: Nithyananda's 'Kailasa' Issues Clarification On UN Speech. WATCH

In a clarification on its speech in a public meeting at the UN, Indian fugitive Nithyanand’s ‘United States of Kailasa (USK)’ said that it 'holds India in high regard'.

New Delhi: Indian fugitive Nithyanand’s ‘United States of Kailasa (USK)’ has issued a clarification after backlash over the speech of one of its representatives at a public meeting of the United Nations in Geneva.  

Vijayapriya Nithyananda, USK's representative to the UN, said posted a video on Twitter saying that ‘USK holds India in high regard and respects India as its Gurupeedam’. 

“I would like to clarify that I stated that the SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam is persecuted in his birthplace by certain anti-Hindu elements. The United States of KAILASA holds India in high regard and respects India as its Gurupeedam,” she said in the video. 

She claimed that her statement is being ‘misinterpreted by certain anti-Hindu sections of media. She said, “We would like to issue a clarification regarding my statement at the United Nations that is being misinterpreted, willfully manipulated, and distorted by certain anti-Hindu sections of the media.” 

“We urge the Indian government to take action against these anti-Hindu elements who continue to attack and incite violence against The SPH and KAILASA. It is important to note that these actions do not reflect the values or beliefs of the vast majority of the Indian population,” she further said. 

She urged the Indian government to take ‘swift and decisive action’ against the ‘anti-Hindu elements who persistently incite violence against The SPH and KAILASA’. 

 “It is imperative that the Indian government employs effective measures to put an end to their systematic and strategic activities and safeguard the well-being and security of all concerned, she added. 

Concluding the clarification, she said “We hope that this clarification statement helps provide a clearer understanding of the United States of KAILASA’s position on the matter.  Thank you. Ma Vijayapriya Nithyananda. KAILASA’s Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations.” 

Nithyananda is wanted by Indian authorities on rape and kidnapping charges. In 2019, he fled the country. Eventually, he established the "nation of Kailasa," an amorphous entity said to be located on an island off the Pacific coast of Central America. 

Earlier on Wednesday, the UN responded to questions about rape-accused Nithyananda's delegation attending public meetings in Geneva in February, saying that the inputs made by the 'self-proclaimed' figure's organisation will not be considered.   

The fleeing godman claims to be the representative of "two billion Hindus" in Kailasa.   

"General discussions are open to anyone who wants to join in person or provide written remarks. A general discussion is intended to allow independent experts from the respective Committees to answer questions and hear the perspectives of various stakeholders prior to the drafting of a General Comment, which is a guide to assist States parties in fulfilling their obligations on specific issues or themes," the UN stated in an official response to a media publication.   

"Their written submission to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) will not be published since it is irrelevant to the general discussion," the Geneva Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said, India Today reported.   

The committee would not consider the claims made by Vijayapriya Nithyananda, who claimed to be the "permanent ambassador of Kailasa" to the UN.   

According to the UN body, these comments were made when the floor was opened to the public.   

On February 24, at a general discussion on Sustainable Development hosted by the Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (CESCR), two people claimed to be from the "United States of Kailasa (USK)".   

Vijayapriya Nithyananda, USK's representative to the UN, was introduced by a woman wearing a turban, a forehead ornament, and necklaces.
