Udupi, Nov 23: The coastal city of Udupi is all set to host three-day Dharma Sansad, an international level conference of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) from November 24 to 26. It would be inaugurated by Shivakumar Mahaswami of Siddaganga Mutt, Tumakuru, and Veerasomeshwara Rajadesikendra Shivacharya Swami, Ramabhapuri, at the Royal Gardens, here at 10 a.m. on Friday.

According to Pejawar mutt seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swami religious and traditional issues would be focused in the three-day conference. Core issues are Ayodhya, the ban on cattle slaughter and the conservation of Hinduism.

The seer said that as the issue of Ram Mandir is in court, there could be a possibility of the Central government and the Uttar Pradesh government, which is run by BJP, passing a Bill in favour of the temple.

He said, although, the country is in the third position in the export of beef, there is a need to stop cattle slaughter completely, adding that the demand to ban cattle slaughter is not new. It exists since many decades. Even during the Morarji Desai government in 1977, Vinobha Bhave demanded a ban on cow slaughter and held an indefinite hunger strike. However, there are no fruitful results for any of the protests carried out in the past.

He said the seer said that the occasion would be purely the conglomeration of Hindu saints. The seers belonging to Sikh, Buddhist, Jains and Lingayats communities will be attending the conference. Vishwa Hindu Parishat always considers all the 'dharmas' introduced by the seers in the country as a fraction of Hinduism. It is a wonderful occasion to celebrate Hinduism and protect it from the evils of untouchability and conversion, he added.

He said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will attend the conference. As many as 2,000 saints have been approached. The seer of Siddaganga Mutt Dr Shivakumar Swami will attend the inaugural ceremony.

Meanwhile, the Dharma Samsad organising committee has informed that Union minister Uma Bharati and Sadhvi Niranjana would be participating, while Sri Sri Ravishankar and Manthralaya seer Sri Shubhudendra Theertha will participate from the Day One. VHP leader Praveen Togadia, Ashok Chowgle, Raghav Reddy, Sampath Roy will participate. The 12th Dharma Samsad will be inaugurated on November 24.

The demand to make temple administration free of government control and also problems like population explosion will be discussed. In the 1969 Dharma Samsad, the main agenda was of harmony among various sects and castes in Hinduism. A podium will also be named after Narayana Guru, the seer from backward class.

Hindu Vaibhav, an expo on the various cultural and traditional facts of Hinduism, will be displayed and inaugurated on November 23.

The real issue.The hindu women are left behind because of umatched kundli. There is no job for hindu youngsters. Basic needs are high price. Only upper caste will make speech and lower caste will fight with the public where uppercaste portray the innocents as enemies of the religion. It is so easy for upper caste to make play when people listen to them and ask them to attack the innocent , who doesnt use the god given intellect and logic. The more these people fall into their trap the more they can make U play on their orders... Wake up public go with right and look for the basics in the life for job, food and other useful requirement.

New Delhi, Jan 14: The Kerala government has challenged the new Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) before the Supreme Court, becoming the first state to do so amid nationwide protests against the religion-based citizenship law. The Supreme Court is already hearing over 60 petitions against the law.

Kerala's Left-led government in its petition calls the CAA a violation of several articles of the constitution including the right to equality and says the law goes against the basic principle of secularism in the constitution.

The Kerala government has also challenged the validity of changes made in 2015 to the Passport law and the Foreigners (Amendment) Order, regularising the stay of non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who had entered India before 2015.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), eases the path for non-Muslims in the neighbouring Muslim-majority nations of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to become Indian citizens. Critics fear that the CAA, along with a proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), will discriminate against Muslims.

The Kerala petition says the CAA violates Articles 14, 21 and 25 of the constitution.

While Article 14 is about the right to equality, Article 21 says "no person will be deprived of life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law". Under Article 25, "all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience."

Several non-BJP governments have refused to carry out the NRC in an attempt to stave off the enforcement of the citizenship law.

Over 60 writ petitions have been filed in Supreme Court so far against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Various political parties, NGOs and also MPs have challenged the law.

The Supreme Court will hear the petitions on January 22.

During the last hearing, petitioners didn't ask that the law be put on hold as the CAA was not in force. The Act has, however, come into force from January 10 through a home ministry notification.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.
