Be ready to resign if Centre fails to proclaim Ram Mandir ordinance: Pejawar seer tells BJP MPs

Mangaluru, Nov 25: Vishwesha Teertha Swami of Pejavar Mutt, who is one of the mastermind behind the decades old Ayodhya movement today urged all the BJP MPs to be ready to tender their resignation if the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government fails to bring out an ordinance for the construction of Ram Mandir. 

Speaking at the Janagraha convention organised by the Sangh Parivar at Nehru Maidan in the city on Sunday to drum up public support for construction of temple for Ram in the land of Babri mosque, the seer said: "The issue should be discussed during the Winter Session of the Parliament beginning December 11." 

He demanded the BJP to take up the issue on priority and warned that the saffron party would not win the elections in 2019 otherwise.

The meeting was organised in accordance with wishes of religious leaders in Delhi recently that such meetings should be held all across the country to whip up support for the issue. Terming the inordinate delay in building the temple as an insult and betrayal of the entire country, the Seer said there cannot be any compromise on the issue as Ayodhya was no less sacred than a mother.

“Hindus were hopeful that the Modi government will build the Ram Mandir during its tenure. Four-and-a-half years on, it hasn’t been able to deliver on this front. We need to encourage the government and pressure it to build the temple next year. There cannot be any comprise on this issue. The MPs should be ready to even step down if need arises and the government fails to deliver,” the seer said addressing a large gathering who sat on the ground in rapt attention, resembling a blanket of Saffron.

He said if there was no positive development in this regard by January next, all the Sadhus will unitedly take up a decision during the Kumbh Mela to be held in February, he said, giving an indirect warning to the government. He said it required a comprehensive coordination of the government, society and the sadhus in realizing the long-pending dream.

Calling this was the right time to build the temple; he said the Congress would not raise any objections as the elections were nearing. He said the fact that Ayodhya issue was being discussed when the Lok Sabha polls were around the corner should not be considered as a move to drum up support to any political party.

Sohan Singh Solanki, national coordinator of the Bajrang Dal, said the BJP would win the 2019 polls only if it started the construction of the Ram Mandir, else it would bite the dust. He said India will see ‘Achhey Din’ only after Ram Mandir became a reality.

God know what is going at their home of this bhakts. instead of doing such protest if they concentrate on family and personal issues atleast they would get peaceful life. There are many famous temples all over India, is they bothered to visit once in a year?If Also if they do some social work atleast needy people can get benefits.

Bengaluru, Feb 16: Three students from Kashmir studying at a private engineering college in Hubballi district of Karnataka were arrested on sedition charges for allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans and posting a video of it on a messaging platform, police said on Saturday.

Police said, according to preliminary information, the students are from Shopian in Kashmir and action has been taken on the basis of a complaint from the college management.

"We received information that three students hailing from Kashmir studying at the KLE Institute of Technology had raised slogans supporting Pakistan. They had made a video about it which has gone viral. Immediately our team headed by Inspector Gokul Road station went to the spot and arrested them," Hubli-Dharwad Police Commissioner R Dileep said.

Right wing activists, including those from Bajarang Dal who had gathered near the college, demanded stringent action against the three.

As the students were being taken to the police station with their faces covered, an activist tried to attack them, but police escorted them safely.

The FIR has been lodged under IPC sections relating to sedition and affecting communal harmony, the official said.

"We are investigating, and whatever comes out as per evidence, law and facts, we will take further action. We will look into their background, whether anyone has tried to mislead them," Mr Dileep said, adding that the arrest should not be seen as action against any particular community or region.

According to officials, the selfie video of the three has gone viral as they posted it on WhatsApp. In the video one of them can be purportedly seen initially uttering something with background music on, after which they chant ''Azadi'' one after the other. Then joining chorus to the music that is playing, they purportedly say "Pakistan Zindabad."

The music they played is said to be Pakistani military's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) song, which police said needs to be ascertained.

The video seems to have been recorded at the college hostel, where the students were put up. College principal Basavaraj Anami said the college has given complaint to the police and the students will be suspended.

The students were admitted under central quota and two are doing their first year civil engineering, while the other is a third year student in the same stream, he said.

According to him, the three had made the video and posted it on WhatsApp.

"It came to our notice in the morning, following which I called the students immediately to my office, and informed the police," the principal told reporters.

"In the video, they have purportedly shouted pro-Pakistan slogans allegedly in the backdrop of the Pulwama attack anniversary yesterday," he added.

Union minister Pralhad Joshi, who hails from the district, described the act unfortunate and demanded strict action against those involved.
