It’s Kalladka Bhat’s order: Churches, dargahs, madrasas must celebrate national festivals

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat has urged the Karnataka government to issue a strict diktat to the religious centres of Christians and Muslims to compulsorily celebrate all the national festivals of India.

Speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Monday, Bhat said that it was the responsibility of the State government to ensure that national festivals are celebrated in churches, dargahs and madrasas.

Accusing the chief minister Siddaramaiah and his government of committing atrocities on Hindus in the name of promoting secularism, he urged the people to topple the “anti-Hindu government”.

He spoke against the Muzrai Department administering Hindu temples, while letting autonomous bodies like the Wakf board, oversee mosques and dargahs.

He said he will appreciate if religion dictated politics, but will not tolerate politics controlling religion. He warned the government against interfering in religious institutions.

Don’t jump to conclusions

Bhat decried the habit of “pointing fingers” at Hindutva organisations even before the investigations into the murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh and scholar M.M. Kalburgi are over. “It is unfair to come to a conclusion before the police completed their task,” he added.

Unfortunately good secular are being killed by the criminals like these. Such criminals are lucky for not being harrassed or touched by anybody. This is temporary situation.

The God is watching and relaxing him to do more sins. Slowly he will be caught and nobody can save him.. We have seen many criminals in the past with all attrocities beyond the bounds. Finally their day had come.

Nobody can dare to force any religions,  what to follow and what not to follow. It is not the business of anybody. It is command what they are following from their God. If he wants he can do at his home even he can not force his people at the temple.

He is utter stupid, Politics is not controlled by any group or religion. It is the choice of democracy. The majority in the state  is Hindus. But all are not stupids like him.

Though they are majority, they selected good government. Because of Northern states, BJP came to power, now all Hindus are fed-up of Modi's group.

their end is also very imminent. Modi's time has come to get Political Sanyasam.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.

Kochi, Mar 1:Adheringto a policy of "zero tolerance" towards clergy who sexually exploit minors, Pope Francis has expelled a Kerala priestconvicted of rape from all priestly duties and rights, according to church officials.

Syro-Malabar Church priest Robin Vadakkumchery is currently serving a jail term for impregnating a 16-year-old girl in Mananthavady diocese.

"Vadakkumchery has been dispensed from the exercise of priestly duties and rights. That means he has been reduced to the state of a layman", a Church official told PTI.

He was suspended from priestly duties soon after the news about his crime was reported in early 2017.

A POCSO court in Thalassery last year had sentenced Vadakkumchery to 20 years of Rigorous Imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs three lakh on him.

The priest, 50, was the vicar of the local church in Kottiyur in Kannur district and manager at the school where the victim was studying.

He was arrested two years ago while trying to flee to Canada.

The Vatican's action came two years after Pope Francis made it clear that all bishops should adhere to a policy of "zero tolerance" for clergy who sexually exploit children.
