PM Modi visiting mosques abroad but has no time to visit Ayodhya: Togadia

Lucknow, Jun 26: Former VHP leader Pravin Togadia on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for doing “nothing so far” for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, saying he had not even found time for a darshan of Ram lala there.

"The Prime Minister doesn’t have time to come to Ayodhya and have a darshan of Ram lala but has time to visit mosques in foreign countries," the Hindutva leader who has now floated his own Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad (AHP) said.

"Modi government has done nothing so far for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya,” he told reporters here.

“They have betrayed crores of Hindus by failing to enact a law for the construction of temples in Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi," he added.

Togadia said since the government is busy with other issues he has himself prepared a draft bill for this, and the government can get it passed in Parliament.

"I will present this draft before Ram lala,” he said.

Togadia was heading for Ayodhya later in the day, his first visit there after floating the new outfit.

He said his organisation planned a march from Lucknow to Ayodhya in October on the Ram temple issue.

It will also launch a signature campaign for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, seeking the support of 20 crore Hindus.

The demand for the construction of the temple by bringing in a bill in Parliament will then be sent to the Modi government.

Togadia said that he does not have any confidence in the BJP slogan of “sabka saath sabka vikas" (collective effort, inclusive growth) but believed in "Hindu vikas" (development of Hindus).

On his newly floated AHP, he said though the team is new, it will work with the same aggression for the rights of Hindus.

Earlier this month, Togadia launched the new outfit after being sidelined in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 21: Not just in China, but in Kerala also robot is now playing a key role in the health workers' fight against COVID-19, thanks to the innovative spirit of a group of young minds and the support of the state Health Department.

Named "Nightingale-19", the robot is deployed to provide food and medicines among patients at the district coronavirus centre in Ancharakandi in Kannur district where a large number of cases have been reported.

The special display facility, attached to it, also allows patients to communicate with health workers and their relatives if necessary, the health minister's office here said.

Designed by the students of Chemberi Vimal Jyothi Engineering College with the support of the Health Department, the remote control-operated robot can carry food and water for at least six persons at a stretch.

Robots have been put to use in other parts of the country to help in the health workers' fight against COVID- 19.

Chandigarh, Aug 1: The death toll in the Punjab spurious liquor tragedy rose to 86 on Saturday even as Chief Minister Amarinder Singh suspended seven excise officials and six policemen, officials said.

The government also announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for each of the families of the deceased, they said.

Tarn Taran alone accounted for 63 deaths, followed by 12 in Amritsar and 11 in Gurdaspur’s Batala. Till Friday night, the state had reported 39 deaths in the tragedy unfolding since Wednesday night.

According to an official statement, the CM ordered the suspension of seven excise officials, along with six policemen.

Among the suspended officials are two deputy superintendents of police and four station house officers.

Strict action will be taken against any public servant or others found complicit in the case, said the chief minister, describing the police and excise department failure to check the manufacturing and sale of spurious liquor as shameful.

Nobody will be allowed to get away with feeding poison to our people, he added.
