Udupi, Nov 24: The three-day Dharma Sansad organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad was inaugurated on Friday morning in the presence of hundreds of seers and sages from across India. Pejavar mutt seer Sri Vishwesha Thirtha Swami formally inaugurated the event by lighting a lamp.

A Shobha Yatra of sants and sadhus from Rajangana in Sri Krishna Mutt to the convention venue at the Royal Garden near Kalsanka marked the beginning of the event.

RSS Sarsangchalak Mohan Bhagwat, Pejavar Mutt seer Sri Vishwesha Thirtha Swami and Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr. Veerendra Heggade led the Shobha Yatra. Suttur mutt seer Shivarathri Deshikendra Swami and Adichunchanagiri Mutt seer Nirmalanandanatha Swami also took part.

In his address, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) International Working President, Pravin Togadia, said that the administration of Hindu temples by the government is against the Constitution and an insult to the secular ethos of the country.

He called upon the seers to fight towards freeing government control over temples. “Let the government, which controls temples, try to control a mosque or a church," he said.

He also stressed the need to work out a strategy towards implementation of ban on cow slaughter.

More than 2,000 seers saints and VHP leaders from across the country will take part in the three-day convention, during which the issues like construction of Ram temple, prevention of religious conversions, and cow protection will be discussed.

The convention will culminate with a meeting Samaj Pramukhs from across the state on November 26.

In Masjid, We are coming to worship ALLAH alone without any partners ( Na Tasya pratima Asti)  and there is no money collection Like the hindus, where the temple authorities saying God will help them if they pay such and such amount for different problems. (God doesnt need your money)

 

Islam says if there is a problem, ask with ALLAH (God) alone. There is no intermediate between the CREATOR and the creation. (Money spent in Charity is also a way to keep our problems away). There is no god but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the final messenger of ALLAH. If people dont know the teaching of ISLAM, its very easy to people like BHAGAWAD to play with the minds who are FAR AWAY from the TRUE GOD who is worthy of WORSHIP.

Bengaluru, Jun 15: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday laid the foundation stone for the construction of a Rs 220 crore airport project in his political bastion of Shivamogga, as he expressed confidence that it will give a boost to tourism, industries and economic activities in the region.

"The long cherished dream of people of Shivamogga about having an airport is finally becoming a reality.

The project that was planned when I was Deputy Chief Minister and Chief Minister in the past was shelved due to contractor issues and lack of interest by the governments that came later," Yediyurappa said.

Speaking at the foundation laying event for the airport, which he attended virtually via video conference, he said, now the government is once again taking up the project through infrastructure development and PWD departments.

The project to construct the well-equipped airport at Sogane in Shivamogga taluk at the cost of Rs 220 crore in about 662.38 acre land area has been initiated, he said, adding that the project will be taken up in two phases.

He expressed hope that it will be completed in a year's time.

The first phase consists of runway, taxiway, apron, approach road, peripheral road and compound wall construction, while the second phase consists of terminal building, ATC tower, fire station building, among others, a release said.

Noting that under the Udan scheme the project has been envisaged to provide affordable air travel to people, the Chief Minister expressed confidence about tourism, industries and economic activities in the region getting a boost, with the small airport coming up at Shivamogga.

He also directed officials to complete the airport work on time without compromising on the quality.

Highlighting various developmental works that is being implemented in Shivamogga, the district which is regarded as his political turf, Yediyurappa said, with the cooperation of the central government various railway projects have also been taken up in the district including Shivamogga- Shikaripura rail route.

Shikaripura is the constituency represented by the Chief Minister, while his son B Y Raghavendra represents Shimoga constituency in Lok Sabha.

Yediyurappa, who also inaugurated the divisional office of National Highway authority in the district, said a bridge project across river Sharavati at Singndur in Sagara taluk will be taken up.

Conceding that developmental work has taken a backseat due to the COVID-19 situation, the Chief Minister said the challenge is to overcome it and achieve development.
