Masjid should be at a distance from Ram Mandir to avoid dispute: Pejawar seer

Belagavi, Apr 15: The next government, irrespective of its party, will have to construct the Ram temple at the land of Babri Masjid, according to Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt.

Speaking to media persons here the sere said the temple and the mosque can co-exist at Ayodhya, but the mosque should be at a distance from the temple to avoid any dispute.

“I stand by my view that Ram mandir should be built at Ayodhya. However, it has to be done according to rules. The Parliament and Constitution are the ultimate authorities. I will not speak in detail as elections are under way,” he said.

“People will decide who will form the next government,” he said in response to a question.

The seer told presspersons at the Vidyarthi Bhavan in Tilakwadi that the Narendra Modi government had promised to build the temple, but could not do it in this term owing to some reasons. “Some parties and leaders like Mamata Banerjee and Mayawati have opposed it. The Congress has not clarified its stand on the issue. Moreover, the issue is in court. What can the Union government do now?,” he asked.

On the Lingayat issue, he said: “Lingayats are Hindus. All those who worship Lord Shiva are Hindus. The Lingayats and Veerashaivas should not be separate entities. They should not move away from Hinduism. Minister M.B. Patil may oppose this and say that I should not speak about issues concerning them. But is it wrong to speak out when our brothers want to separate from us?” he wondered.

He said he was planning to organise an Iftar dinner for Muslims in the Udupi mutt this year too.

The seer said that the Udupi Krishna Mutt had organised a series of religious and welfare programmes on the 5th Paryaya (alternative worship ritual).

The Ananda Teertha residential school and college will be set up in the birth place of Pajaka near Udupi. Education would be provided free of cost. Students will be taught the Hindu way of life and culture. Students of all communities are welcome, he said.

An education institution will be set up in Hubballi for the benefit of the people of north Karnataka. A hostel is being built in Maratha Halli near Bengaluru, he said.

Dear Sir,

Your comments are most welcome.

Babri Masjid was there in the same place and let it be there.  why dont you build a Mandir at a distance from the Masjid where it is located since years.

So far no evidence has been provided or collected by the court to provide the judgement in favor of Mandir.

Vijayapura, June 18: Shoukat Ali Sumbad, a local farmer, has donated land for the construction of Chennamma memorial, modelled on the Kittur fort, at Sindagi town in Vijayapura to celebrate the town's connect with the valorous Lingayat queen who fought the British in 1824.

Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji of Lingayat Panchamasali Peetha Kudala Sangam said Shoukat Ali came forward to donate his land adjacent to the state highway when local authorities failed to provide land for the memorial. 

"The committee led by Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji sought a 15x10 plot but when I went through their plan of constructing a model of Kittur fort, I decided to donate 425 sq ft," said the 61-year-old farmer. 

"Rani Chennamma is the pride of every Indian, irrespective of caste and creed, and my contribution is nothing compared to her sacrifice for the nation," he added.

Shoukat Ali, who lives in the neighbouring town of Almel, said he is a man of modest means but proud to make the contribution. "I own nine acres of land in Almel. I have six sons and two daughters. Two of my sons run small businesses in Mumbai. Ten of us live in a small house in Almel," he said.

“I also work as a broker to sell or buy sites. I had bought 15 guntas of land in Sindagi for my children some 15 years ago. When our MLA MC Managuli and Swamiji sought land for the memorial, my entire family agreed wholeheartedly” Shoukat Ali said.

“As Chennamma’s history is linked to Sindagi, there has been a demand for a memorial here since 2008, but the town municipal council failed to provide land due to political and technical reasons,” said Swamiji. 

“There were plans to observe a Sindagi bandh in the first week of June to protest the indifference of authorities. But then Sumbad gave us his land. We have formed a committee to construct a model of Kittur fort and a bronze statue of Chennamma at a cost of Rs 28 lakh,” he added.
