It’s Kalladka Bhat’s order: Churches, dargahs, madrasas must celebrate national festivals

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat has urged the Karnataka government to issue a strict diktat to the religious centres of Christians and Muslims to compulsorily celebrate all the national festivals of India.

Speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Monday, Bhat said that it was the responsibility of the State government to ensure that national festivals are celebrated in churches, dargahs and madrasas.

Accusing the chief minister Siddaramaiah and his government of committing atrocities on Hindus in the name of promoting secularism, he urged the people to topple the “anti-Hindu government”.

He spoke against the Muzrai Department administering Hindu temples, while letting autonomous bodies like the Wakf board, oversee mosques and dargahs.

He said he will appreciate if religion dictated politics, but will not tolerate politics controlling religion. He warned the government against interfering in religious institutions.

Don’t jump to conclusions

Bhat decried the habit of “pointing fingers” at Hindutva organisations even before the investigations into the murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh and scholar M.M. Kalburgi are over. “It is unfair to come to a conclusion before the police completed their task,” he added.

Unfortunately good secular are being killed by the criminals like these. Such criminals are lucky for not being harrassed or touched by anybody. This is temporary situation.

The God is watching and relaxing him to do more sins. Slowly he will be caught and nobody can save him.. We have seen many criminals in the past with all attrocities beyond the bounds. Finally their day had come.

Nobody can dare to force any religions,  what to follow and what not to follow. It is not the business of anybody. It is command what they are following from their God. If he wants he can do at his home even he can not force his people at the temple.

He is utter stupid, Politics is not controlled by any group or religion. It is the choice of democracy. The majority in the state  is Hindus. But all are not stupids like him.

Though they are majority, they selected good government. Because of Northern states, BJP came to power, now all Hindus are fed-up of Modi's group.

their end is also very imminent. Modi's time has come to get Political Sanyasam.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Air India Express flight brought around 170 passengers from Bahrain to Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission yesterday. 

This is the first VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru. The flight took off from Bahrain at 10 am on Sunday and landed at Mangaluru International airport at 4.45 pm. 

Even though thousands of Indian expatriates from other gulf countries were brought to Mangaluru in past few weeks, no flight was arranged from Bahrain so far. Hence, several Mangalureans including senior citizens, women and patients were stranded in Bahrain for months together.

Local entrepreneur and president of Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Mohammed Mansoor, who saw the plight of the hapless Indian expatriates in Bahrain had discussions with the Indian embassy in Bahrain and convinced it to arrange a special Air India Express flight under the Vande Bharat Mission. 

IOC, along with the cooperation of ‘KHK Heroes’ had arranged meal kits for passengers during their flight to Mangaluru. IOC had also contacted all the Mangaluru-based NRIs who wanted to fly back to India and made a list with the help of Indian embassy to avoid any untoward incidents.

IOC had also given details of hotels to be quarantined in Mangaluru and Udupi, names of nodal officers to be contacted and emergency telephone numbers. The passengers were given a warm farewell by the office bearers of IOC from Bahrain international airport.

The effort taken by Mohammed Mansoor, president of IOC is lauded by all. All the passengers who travelled by the flight have thanked IOC and its office bearers whole heartedly.
