All it happened for the good of Art Of Living (AOL) Chief Sri Sri Ravishankar. A don turned journalist Agni Sridhar has been alleging from last few days that AOL was encroaching upon the lands of poor dalits and farmers. Nothing to keep behind the screen, Ravishankar has opened it before media saying, ‘An extortionist cannot hide under the garb of someone helping the downtrodden. This exercise of false propagation and instigation will not work. Sridhar has threatened to malign us by using fabricated video of women and then moved on to a non-existent land issue. We work for welfare of poor and work against anti social elements. Incidentally the land which Sridhar is speaking about is purchased from a Brahmin but not a poor dalit.’
AOL spokesperson Prasanna Prabhu speaking about the balckmailing sex video said, ‘Sridhar was demanding a ransom of Rs. 42 crore else he said he would expose us by distributing those sex videos of women from the ashram to the press.’
Incidentally irony is that Sridhar while discussing the issue with media has mentioned that he doesn’t know about any video during his discussions with AOL.
