Ivan's entry will defile the sanctity of Hindu temple, let him convert first: VHP

Mangaluru, Oct 26: Strongly opposing MLC Ivan D'Souza's decision to organise the Bhavaikyata Diwali in Shree Kshetra Kadri on October 29, Sangh Parivar activists have claimed that any such attempt would defile the sanctity of the temple as he is a Christian and not a Hindu.

Addressing a press meet here on Wednesday, the leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal warned Mr D'Souza and all non-Hindus not to entre the temple until and unless they convert to Hinduism. “Let Mr D'Souza become and Hindu and then come to Hindu temple,” they said, adding that the Hindu religious places should be limited to Hindus only.

It is also their contention that no non-Hindu can organise any religious programme in a Hindu temple managed by the endowment department. They feel organising such a programme will undermine the religious sanctity and traditions of the temple.

Laying down this diktat, M B Puranik, regional working president of VHP, Karnataka said since the Kadri Sri Manjunatha Temple comes under the endowment department, there is also no scope for any such politically motivated programme.

"VHP and all Hindu organisations strongly condemn this move and have urged the district administration, police and endowment department to stop it. If he is so particular, let Ivan celebrate Diwali in a church or a mosque," Puranik said.

Demanding that the administration investigate the matter, Puranik demanded action against officials who permitted the programme. Noting that cancelling the event is the only way to ensure justice to Hindus, Puranik said all Hindu organisations will support the agitation by VHP in this regard.

When journalists asked him for the reason for opposing the event, Puranik failed to come up with one. Incidentally, the VHP and Bajrang Dal earlier in the day submitted a memorandum to deputy commissioner K G Jagadeesha outlining their opposition to the alleged misuse of Hindu religious institutions.

Ivan D'souza should not go for it when Hindus don't like it.

Regarding religion, when all religious group agree there is only 1God, then that God will not permit to follow different religion.
So, why don't all people search for that true 1religion.

Don't follow any religion just because our ancestors followed it.
Dare to find and follow the truth.

Hubballi, Jan 6: Elected representatives of the BJP, Congress and JD(S) on Sunday decided to sink their differences and fight unitedly for Karnataka’s rightful share in the Mahadayi and Kalasa-Banduri water dispute with Goa.

The meeting convened by JD(S) MLC Basavaraj Horatti here saw participation of BJP ministers Prahlad Joshi and Jagadish Shettar, Congress and JD(S) lawmakers, among others.

After a 70-minute closed door meeting, MLC Horatti told reporters that they discussed the water dispute in detail and decided to take steps based on inputs from legal and technical experts on the rightful apportioning of water. “Today, we took the first big step towards the overall development of the region, unencumbered by political divisions,” he said.

Though the air was filled with a sense of jubilation as the issue had united seemingly hostile political parties on one side, a few activists expressed disappointment that the meeting failed to set a timeline to resolve the dispute.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.

New Delhi, Jul 25: Nearly a year after Cafe Coffee Day founder V.G. Siddhartha's death, the probe committee appointed by the Board of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) has given a virtual clean chit to private equity investors and the Income Tax Department who were named in his last letter.
The investigation report noted that Siddhartha may have felt "aversive behavioural stimulus" due to persistent reminders from the PE investors and other lenders.

"However, such reminders and follow-ups by the PE investors and lenders are not something which are beyond normal industry practices and we believe that PE investors were acting as per accepted legal and business norms," said that report.

It further said that the investigators were not provided with any documentary evidence to show any "advertent or inadvertent harassment" from the Income Tax Department.

It however, said that the financial records suggest a serious liquidity crunch which may have arisen due to the attachment of Mindtree shares by the IT Department.

Further, the probe revealed that MACEL, a private firm of Siddhartha, owes Rs 2,693 crore to Coffee Day Enterprises, which the report says, "needs to be addressed".

The Cafe Coffee Day founder's body was fished out of the Netravathi river in Karnataka by a group of fishermen on July 31 last year, a day after he went missing.

His last note raised several questions about the role of investors, and tax officials.

He had written: "Tremendous pressure from other lenders lead to me succumbing to the situation. There was a lot of harassment from the previous DG Income Tax in the form of attaching our shares on two separate occasions to block our Mindtree deal and then taking possession of our Coffee Day shares, although the revised returns have been filed by us. This was very unfair and has led to a serious liquidity crunch."

The massive shock to the industry and the country also led the government to assure that tax officials would not harass businessmen and the situation would improve.
