Udupi, Dec 1: Around 16 years ago, the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had inaugurated the renovated the Rajangana hall of Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during the fourth Paryaya (2000-02) of Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami. Now the same hall is being renovated again and the seer desire is to get it inaugurated by the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking to presspersons on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of his sanyasa sweekar function here, the 87-year-old Pejawar seer said that the renovation of Rajangana was going on and was expected to be completed in another 10 days.

The Rajangana Hall was being renovated at an estimated cost of Rs. 3 crore. The first floor on its top would be called Madhwangana. “We have already approached Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, for its inauguration, but we are yet to get their confirmed reply,” he said. Asked if he had invited the PM, the seer said that he had already informed the top brass of the government. It was Vajpayee who inaugurated the renovated hall on January 18, 2001. Since another floor was coming up on it, it would be fitting that Mr Modi inaugurated it.

Asked if any of his planned projects in his present fifth Paryaya were pending, the seer said that while he had been successful in get some of the projects implemented, some others had remained. But he would complete them after descending from the Paryaya Peetha.

He had completed all the projects related to the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during his present Paryaya. He had got the “pauli” of the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple renovated and also constructed a choultry here. He had started a college at Pajaka, for which Rs. 12 crore had been spent.

Besides, the All India Sanskrit Conference and the Dharma Sansad had been held during this Paryaya. “I had plans to adopt some villages and promote development there. But it did not fructify,” he said. Asked how he was feeling on his 80th anniversary of sanyasa sweekara, the seer said that God had given him a long life. “I thank God for it. It is all his grace. I have no role in it,” the seer said.

New Delhi, Jan 17: The Supreme Court on Friday closed the monitoring of the killing of rationalist M M Kalburgi in 2015 in Dharwad.

A bench of Justices R F Nariman and S Ravindra Bhat noted that the charge sheet has already been filed and the matter was assigned to the sessions court. The court, however, noted two accused had absconded and could not be arrested till date, according to reports.

Senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, appearing for the Karnataka government, submitted that the High Court had also stopped monitoring of the matter.

The top court had in early last year directed that the Karnataka High Court's Dharwad bench to monitor the probe. The Karnataka police SIT, which investigated Gauri Lankesh case and filed the charge sheet, was allowed to take over the Kalburgi case.

Umadevi, in her 2017 plea, drew a parallel between Kalburgi's murder and killings of Narendra Dabholkar and Comrade Govind Pansare in Maharashtra and sought an SIT probe by a retired Supreme Court or a High Court judge. She urged the top court to monitor the probe till it reached its logical conclusion as there was no progress in the investigation conducted so far by the Karnataka police.

The court had earlier sought to know if there was a "common thread" in murder cases of Communist leader Pansare and rationalist Dabholkar in Maharashtra, and Kannada writer Kalburgi and journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh in Karnataka.
