Udupi, Nov 24: Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami has urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government to either promulgate an ordinance or get a law passed in the joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the construction of Ram Temple on the land of Babri mosque.
Speaking after felicitating activists who had participated during the so called Ayodhya Kar Seva of 1992 at the Janagraha Reception Office of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), here, the seer underscored that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government headed by PM Modi had a majority in the Lok Sabha.
“Hence, it can promulgate an ordinance for the construction of the Ram Temple. Or, it can also call a joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament and get a law for the construction of the Ram Temple passed,” he said.
The seer said that the Opposition parties could only approach courts in the matter. “The Congress is not in a position to oppose such an ordinance as this will adversely impact it in the Parliamentary elections,” he said.
The seer said that the people of the country and the sants wanted the construction of the temple. Even the Muslims were not opposed to it. “I am sure that Mr. Modi will take a determined step on the issue and the Ram Temple will be built in a year,” he said.
Later, speaking to presspersons the seer said that there was also the third option of resolving the issue of construction of the Ram Temple through talks outside courts. All three options of ordinance, legislation and talks were democratic and could be pursued by the government.
The matter was in the Supreme Court and it would be better if it was decided expeditiously there, he said. Asked why the issue of Ram Temple was raised only when the parliamentary elections were nearing, the seer said that the matter should have been raised earlier. But now it had come to the fore. “Let it get resolved now,” he said.
Recalling the events that unfolded near the disputed structure at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, the seer said that he had done all he could to prevent the destruction of the structure. But the Kar Sevaks were enthusiastic and demolished it. Later, when he inspected the site, he found Hindu symbols there. He was convinced that a temple existed at the site and then, he himself installed the idol of Lord Ram there, he said.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
