Udupi, Nov 26: Even though Vishwa Hindu Parishath international executive president Pravin Togadia had claimed that Udupi’s Dharma Sansad has nothing to do with politics, he made vailed attack against Congress while delivering the keynote address at the massive Hindu Samajotsav organised as a part of the valedictory ceremony of the three-day event here on Sunday.

“The only wish that all Hindus have is that they want to see Ram in the Mandir at Ayodhya. Gandhi topiwalas (Congress) do not understand the sentiments of the Hindus. There will be no negotiation pertaining to construction of the temple. The saints and seers are committed” the hardline leader said. 

Accusing Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism in India, he called for the elimination of the neighbouring country from the world map. “Pakistan should be 'uprooted' as the it is attempting in all possible ways to sponsor terrorism in India,” he said.

Kashmir is an integral part of India, but considering the terrorist activities in the state, it is imperative to  ensure Kashmir remains the crown of the country by eliminating terrorism in the state, he said. 

Lamenting that insulting Hinduism and religious people has become fashionable, Togadia said 'The film Padmavati should be banned. It is an insult to the mothers and sisters of the country'. 

He said that an appeal would be made to the central government and all other  state governments to ban the screening of the film. "Padmavati is an Indian mother. She has made all her sons and daughters proud, she is the symbol of self-esteem for all Indians", the VHP leader added.  He also lauded the state government which banned the screening of the movie.

He maintained that untouchability should be completely eliminated with all temples, wells and crematoria open for all Hindus. He stressed all upper class Hindus to support the Dalits and SC/ST community financially and educationally. "Every Hindu should stand up with self-respect," he added.

Pejawar seer Sri Vishwesha Theertha seer asked the Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah, if he the latter respects Basavanna and his preachings at all. "He should immediately implement ban on cow slaughter in the state," he demanded.

Every Indian should welcome statement of our great Patriot Leader Sir Mutalk ji to eliminate Pakistan from world map.  I hope he and his chelas have started their march towards Border directly from Samajsotsave in Udupi.   We should welcome him and garland him on the way to Border.  Well done sir, please proceed.   All of us are behind you.  You are a great leader and we wish you be next PM of india.   After eleminating Pakistan let us move towards Bangladesh and from there let us move to our another enemy China.

My advice to all these swamijis and seers is to be Indian first and respect people from all the religions and condemn the killers of Father of India.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.

The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.

The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.

The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.

The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.

Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.

The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.
