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.

Sick person....

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.

Puranik keep ur diwali in ur temple it self dont bring it to our masjid. But u r welcome to our masjid as a human being bt not as a communal mongar

Karnataka woman, held captive by job agency in Qatar, finally returns home

News Network

February 22,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 22: Thanks to joint efforts by the Protector of Emigrants in Bengaluru and Indian Embassy in Qatar, a 26-year-old woman from Karnataka who had been kept in confinement in Qatar has been rescued and brought back to India.

Anupama (name changed) from Holenarasipura in Hassan district arrived in Bengaluru on Thursday night. She was allegedly locked up in a house for 14 days, restrained from using a mobile and wasn't fed. There were three other women with her. On the midnight of February 12, they broke the window panes and fled before contacting local police.

Anupama, a diploma graduate in computer science, was jobless and her friend working in Kuwait suggested she try for a job abroad. She contacted an agency based in Chikkamagaluru which offered her a nanny's job in Qatar. After document verification, the agency demanded she pay Rs 2 lakh but she said she didn't have that kind of money.

The agency sent Anupama on a visitor visa but told her if questioned by immigration officials, she must claim she was visiting her sister. They also gave her a return ticket.

As Anupama was travelling abroad for the first time, she said she was ignorant about several things.

On January 12, Anupama left Bengaluru. But as she reached Qatar, all her documents, including passport, were confiscated by the agency. Her return ticket was cancelled and she was sent to a house to work as babysitter-cum-cook for Rs 30,000. She lived with four other maids in the same house, where they were made to work for 16-18 hours a day.

"I used to wake up around 5.30am every day and had to prepare breakfast for the employers by 6.30am. My work would end around 11pm every day. We never even got time to eat," Anupama told media on Friday. Four days into work, Anupama's nose started bleeding. However, the employers cared little and insisted she continue to work. After 18 days, she requested her employers that she be relieved.

The agency sent her to a house where three women were already present and locked her up with them. "They used to give us a glass of raw rice, an onion, tomato and potato to cook for ourselves. While we got rice every day, we had to use the vegetables for three days. We were not supposed to use mobiles or go out. Two people were monitoring us," she recalled.

Anupama and the others decided to approach police but for that they needed to escape. Around 1.30am on February 12, the four women managed to break window panes and jumped out. They ran for more than a kilometre and managed to approach police, who summoned the agency and got the women to speak to their families.

Anupama called her brother-in-law, who approached the Protector of Emigrants office in Koramangala, Bengaluru. Shubham Singh, PoE in Bengaluru, said they took up the issue with the Indian Embassy in Qatar, which immediately got in touch with Qatar police. Anupama said, "We were kept in prison for a couple of days and were sent to the deportation centre later."

Meanwhile, the Indian embassy got the agency to return the women's documents. However, the agents did not pay their salaries. Two of the women were sent to Hyderabad and the third to Kerala. On Friday, Anupama met Singh at his office, where her statement was recorded. "We have started the process of initiating action against the agency in India," he said.
