This Karnataka MLA’s son weds in a simple mass marriage

Shivamogga, Mar 15: Families of politicians are known for terribly extravagant weddings but this wasn't the case with the son of Araga Jnanendra, MLA from Tirthahalli in Karnataka.

The BJP leader’s son, Abhinandan, was one among five bridegrooms at a simple 'mass marriage' held in the town on Thursday. Prashanth Kukke, a member of Tirthahalli taluk panchayat, was also one of the grooms.

The event was organised by the Samuhika Vivaha Sanchalana Samiti, which works to promote ‘mass marriages’. Mr. Jnanendra says he believes in the principles advocated by the State’s poet laureate Kuvempu. “In many cases, agrarian families borrow and spend money on weddings. There is a need to cap marriage expenses and spread awareness on this. Elected representatives should set the precedent for it,” he suggested.

Mr. Jnanendra's daughter was married in 2017 in a ‘Mantra Mangalya’ wedding advocated by Kuvempu. This distinct ceremony is officiated by elders of both families, or well-wishers, and leaves no room for the practice of dowry or the presence of priests.

Mr. Abhinandan is an MBA working for a private firm in Bengaluru and the bride Shruthi H.S. is a native of Basavani village in the Tirthahalli taluk and a guest lecturer at the D.V.S. Independent PU College in Shivamogga city.

Karnataka BJP president B.S. Yeddyurappa and party leaders B.Y. Raghavendra and Shobha Karandlaje were among those who attended the wedding.

The Election Commission deputed a flying squad and a video surveillance squad to the venue, in keeping with the model code of conduct now in force for the Lok Sabha election.

Ayodhya over, now Kashi and Mathura have to be liberated: K S Eshwarappa

News Network

August 5,2020

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples.

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.
