Udupi, Nov 2: Pejawar Mutt pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami has dropped a hint that he may not accept the verdict of Supreme Court judgment on Babri Masjid issue if it gives priority to history over mythology.

Speaking at a religious awareness campaign organised by Sabarimala Ayyappa Swami Samajam and Dharma Foundation at the MGM College Grounds here, the seer said that the final decision on the issue should be taken by the sants (saints) and devotees.

He stated that it would be difficult for him to accept a Supreme Court judgment if it went against the Ram Temple at Ayodhya. The Hindu sants would also oppose the judgment of the Supreme Court if it went against the Ram Temple. Hence, the decision with regard to the construction of temple in Ayodhya should be taken outside courts, he added.

Referring to the Sabarimala issue, the seer said that it would be better if the government and courts did not interfere in the matters of religion, tradition and religious practices.

The seer said that without any discrimination of caste and creed, the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple was a centre of Hindu organisation. It was necessary to follow religion and values and give up vices to get a darshan of Ayyappa Swami.

The Kerala government should have gone on appeal on the Supreme Court verdict in the Sabarimala case. By not doing so, it had gone against the sentiments of a large number of devotees, the Pejawar seer said.

P.G. Sasikumar Varma, representative of the Pandalam Palace, Shivaram, president of the State unit of Ayyappa Seva Samaj, Ramachandra Swami of Uttara Kashi Kapilashram, Kuntar Ravish Tantri, and others were present.

Ballari, June 30: A video clip of dead bodies of covid-19 victims being disgracefully thrown into a pit said to be in Karnataka’s Ballari has gone viral on social media triggering outrage from netizens.

Ballari Deputy Commissioner SS Nakul ordered a probe. He told media persons that the veracity of the video is still under question and that it still needs to be established if the video was taken in Ballari.

In the video, a pit is seen which appears to be disinfected. The video features masked men covered in body suits bringing dead bodies from a black hearse van in black body bags one by one and throwing the dead bodies into the same pit. In all, three dead bodies are thrown into the same pit in the video.

"We have assigned an Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) to enquire and verify the same. We are awaiting reports. We don't know yet if it (the video) is from Ballari or not," Nakul said.

The district which has so far reported around 800 cases in the last three months has also witnessed around two dozen deaths.

Twitterati on Tuesday raised questions about the handling of the bodies. "Even dead have some respect and they deserved a decent burial," said a social activist from Ballari. Similar reactions echoed on social media and some also pointed out on how the family members who have to stay away from burials feel about it.

Covid burial protocol

According to the protocol set by the Union Health Ministry for the burial of Covid-19 patients, the patients' orifices (nose, mouth and ears) have to be sealed and the body has to be wrapped in three layers of personal protective equipment (PPE). Thereafter it should be placed in a body bag. Family members should not be allowed to accompany the body in the hearse van. Covid-19 victims have to be given a deep burial. The grave should be minimum 10-feet deep.

The grave should be disinfected with bleaching powder and the area should be cordoned off so that the general public is not in the vicinity.  The vehicle used to transport the dead body of a Covid-19 victim -- ambulance or a hearse van -- has to be disinfected for 16 hours before being used again. Most Covid-19 victims in the state have had burials in the absence of family members as they are generally in quarantine for being the primary contacts of the patient.
