<p>Shobhan Sarkar, the seer who dreamt of a gold treasure buried under a fort in Daundiya Kheda village in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, Monday wrote a terse letter to BJP prime minister candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.<br /><br /></p>.<p>A close aide and disciple of the seer, Om Baba, said Sarkar was hurt by the insinuations Modi made about his dream. <br /><br />At a rally at Trichy in Tamil Nadu Oct 18, Modi had mocked the dream, and said that instead of digging up near monuments on the basis of a dream, the government of India should hunt for the billions of rupees in black money stashed away in Swiss banks. <br /><br />Shobhan Sarkar's ashram said the seer was willing to take the BJP leader on in an open debate, at a place of his choice. <br /><br />Om Baba, while speaking of the letter, also questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party's stance on the Ram Setu and Ram temple.<br /><br />Apparently unprepared for the offensive from Shobhan Sarkar, Modi took to twitter and said that he still maintained that the union government should pursue the black money trail to Switzerland.<br /><br />He, however, appeared to be on the backfoot, as he tweeted that millions have immense faith in Shobhan Sarkar and that he too was an admirer of the seer. <br /><br />"Shobhan Sarkar ko lakhon log saalon se mante hain. Unki tapasya aur tyaag ko mera pranaam" (Millions follow Shobhan Sarkar, I humbly bow before the penance and sacrifices made by him).<br /><br />Meanwhile, the digging at the site where the gold treasure is believed to be buried continued for the fourth day Monday. <br /><br />Digging went on till a depth of 180 cm, an official said, adding that so far only a few utensils, pottery and a brick wall had been found. <br /><br />"The whole process will take almost a month. As of now, we cannot say anything for sure," an Archaeological Survey of India official told IANS.</p>
