Body of Dadri MURDER ACCUSED kept under tricolour; Rs 1-cr demanded

October 7, 2016

Dadri, Oct 7: The Hindutva activists and family members of one of the accused in Dadri lynching, who died of fever earlier this week, have refused to cremate the dead body unless the Uttar Pradesh government pays Rs 1 crore as compensation, recommends a CBI probe into his death and fulfils other demands.

Less than a kilometre from where Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched last year over beef allegation, hundreds of Bisara residents gathered on Thursday around a deep-freezer casket draped with the Tricolour. The casket contained the body of 21-year-old Ravin Sisodia, an accused in Akhlaq's killing, who died at LNJP Hospital in Delhi Tuesday evening.

Sisodia's family members have also demanded the state government to take action against officers at a Greater Noida jail, where the notorious murder accused had been lodged, and to arrest Akhlaq's brother, Jaan Mohammad, on charges of “cow slaughter.”

The district police, meanwhile, turned the village into a veritable fortress with VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi visiting Bisara on Thursday to express her solidarity with Sisodia's family. Two companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed, and extra security forces from Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahr and Ghaziabad brought in.

By Thursday evening, talks between the administration and a 11-member committee of Bisara residents, including family members of Ravin, hit a roadblock on two issues — the arrest of Mohammad and compensation for Ravin's family.

While village residents maintained that a meeting of residents from nearby villages will be called on Friday morning, the local administration maintained that efforts to negotiate with Bisara residents and Ravin's father would continue.

“They have said that the body will not be cremated if Mohammad is not arrested. They also did not agree to accept the Rs 10 lakh that was being offered by the state government as compensation and demanded Rs 1 crore. We are trying to reach out to Ravin's family. For now, they have refused to cremate him,” said a senior police officer.

“If our demands are not met, the cremation will not take place. The administration has given us some assurances but we are not satisfied. Our main aim is Mohammad's arrest and unless that happens, we will not cremate the body,” said Hari Om, the husband of Bisara pradhan Kaushalya Devi.

Earlier, addressing the residents, Sadhvi Prachi said, “All those in the government have deep love for topiwallahs…these people exploit you. Teach them a lesson.” Asking “Hindus” to unite, and referring to the Muzaffarnagar riots, Prachi said, “Dadri ko Uttar Pradesh sarkar Muzaffarnagar kand na banaye (The UP government should not turn Dadri into a Muzaffarnagar-like incident).”

Gautam Budh Nagar police said they would initiate action against Prachi for making inflammatory statements. Dharmendra Singh, SSP, said, “We are recording the events on video. If any person gives provocative speeches and tries to disturb peace there, strict legal action will be taken. But since a dead body has been kept there and a lot of people are visiting to console the family and friends, we are allowing people to enter the village.”

On September 28 last year, a Hindutva mob attacked 50-year-old Akhlaq, dragging him outside his house and beating him to death while his younger son 22-year-old Mohammad Danish received severe head injuries, according to police.

The mob assembled outside Akhlaq's house minutes after an announcement in the village which asked residents to assemble since a cow had allegedly been slaughtered in the village, police had said.

He is a true Indian and he needs Military honour. He should be recommended for Bharat Ratna for his sacrifice for the nation. He has sacrificed his life for BJP and nation. Idol of this person should be made and erected besides Godse as both belong to same group with same ideology.

Udupi: Eshapriya Teertha Swamiji to ascend Paryaya on Jan 17

News Network

January 16,2020

Udupi, Jan 16: Admar Mutt Junior seer Eshapriya Theertha Swami is all set to take over the reins of Krishna Mutt during the 250th Paryayotsava, scheduled to be held on January 17 and 18.

The uniqueness lies in the fact that the Admar Mutt, one of the Ashta Mutts of Krishna Mutt in this Temple town Udupi, ushers in the new Paryaya cycle (32nd). The Paryaya of outgoing seer Vidyadheesha Theertha Swami of Palimaru Mutt, Admar’s dwandwa (associate) mutt, marks the end of the cycle of eight mutts.

Under the system initiated by the Madhwa philosopher and saint Madwacharya, the seers of Ashta mutts would take turns to worship Lord Krishna every two months. Seer Vadiraja (1481-1601) ended the system and introduced the system of f running the temple administration once in two years.

Mallikarjuna Kharge to be Karnataka Congress chief?

News Network

February 10,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 10: After many twists and turns, veteran Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge is emerging as the frontrunner for the KPCC president’s post, party sources revealed.

Though the names of DK Shivakumar and MB Patil did the rounds sometime ago, the party high command could not decide on an apt candidate, and had to widen its horizon looking for a leader who can take all factions along, and they seem to have zeroed in on Kharge.

But the senior Dalit leader is also in the reckoning for the more important All-India Congress Committee president’s post after he successfully stitched up an alliance, despite all odds, between the Congress and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. He is understandably reluctant to take up the KPCC post. “The central leadership has given him some time to consider the KPCC offer,” the sources said.

The high command would rather go with Kharge as he is politically a far bigger force than Shivakumar and M B Patil and the party central leadership wants a safe pair of hands to handle the affairs of the state, the sources said. Also, senior leaders Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar and M B Patil cannot raise a voice against Kharge if he is elected to the post, they said.

Kharge was the Pradesh Congress chief in 2008 when the BJP was in power under B S Yediyurappa. An old warhorse, Kharge is seen as an able administrator and taskmaster. He had won a record 11 elections on the trot before he was defeated in the Kalaburgi Parliamentary Constituency by his former protege Dr Umesh Jadhav in the last election.

Sources said that the high command will not consider Shivakumar for the top slot till he comes out clean in all the legal cases against him.

It is exactly two months since Dinesh Gundurao resigned as KPCC president after the party managed to win just two out of the 15 Assembly constituencies that went for by-elections. Siddarmaiah too resigned on the same day owning moral responsibility for the loss, but the party has decided to continue with him as the assembly opposition leader, while looking for a replacement for Gundurao.

The high command sent senior central leaders Madhusudhan Mistry and Bhakta Charan Das on December 20 to sort out the issue of KPCC president. Though they met the state leaders and held high-level meetings in Delhi, they could not decide on a candidate. Meanwhile, the central leadership has asked Gundurao to continue in the post, till a replacement is found.

‘Congress will protest against scrapping reservation’

Bengaluru: “RSS-BJP is against reservation and have been trying to scrap it for sometime now,’’ said senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday. He stated that the Congress would take up the issue for a determined agitation both inside and outside the parliament. He said they must file a petition against this. His reaction comes after the SC recently took a decision where the top court had maintained that reservation in promotions was not a fundamental right.
