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.

New Delhi, Apr 4: The Supreme Court on Friday urged Karnataka and Kerala to amicably resolve their issues concerning a border blockade that has choked the free flow of vehicles carrying essential items and patients in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Karnataka, which imposed the blockade, justified that its border was sealed to “combat the spread of the pandemic by preventing the movement of people from the bordering districts of Kerala to Karnataka”.

The State had moved the Supreme Court, challenging a Kerala High Court order on April 1 to open the border. Kerala has countered that patients from the State cannot be denied access to health care. Besides, the blockade has severely affected the supply of essential items, from medicines to food, to Kerala.

On Friday, a Supreme Court Bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and Deepak Gupta urged the States to not confront each other in the midst of an unprecedented public health crisis. Instead, it asked the Chief Secretaries of both States to sit with the Union Health Secretary and iron out a solution. Meanwhile, the apex court urged Kerala not to take any precipitative action based on the High Court order.

The court issued notice to Kerala on the appeal filed by Karnataka, represented by advocate Shubhranshu Padhi. It listed the case for further hearing on April 7.

Karnataka, in its appeal against the High Court order, said the blockade was put in place in the interest of public health. The situation regarding Coronavirus was “really dire”, it said. It warned that opening the blockade would cause a law and order issue as its local population wanted the border to remain sealed.

Karnataka argued that Kerala was the “worst-affected” State in the country with nearly 194 coronavirus cases. In this, Kasaragod, adjoining Karnataka, was the “worst affected” district of Kerala with over a 100 positive cases.

MP’s plea

The court also separately considered a writ petition by Kasaragod MP Rajmohan Unnithan for an order to forthwith open the State border.

The parliamentarian, represented by advocates Haris Beeran and Pallavi Pratap, urged the court to issue an ex-parte stay on the operation of the blockade imposed by Karnataka with its border States.

Mr. Unnithan said Karnataka’s blockade was “ill-planned and dangerous” and had led to loss of lives. Two patients from Kerala, in need of urgent medical care, died after their ambulances were denied entry at the border by the Karnataka authorities.

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.
