WB govt cancels Kolkata auditorium booking for Bhagwat programme

Kolkata, Sept 5: The RSS today alleged that a state-owned auditorium here where its chief Mohan Bhagwat was scheduled to attend a programme on October 3 has cancelled the booking for the event.

The move to cancel the booking was condemned by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS) but the auditorium authorities said renovation and repair work would be undertaken around that time and therefore the facility cannot be provided due to "safety and security reasons."

"This is not the first time that such a move was taken. Earlier also the state(West Bengal) government had done it. We condemn this move," Jishnu Basu, RSS spokesperson in the state, alleged.

A spokesman of the Sister Nivedita 150th birth anniversary celebrations committee, which had booked Mahajati Sadan for the programme, claimed that the auditorium authorities had accepted the booking in June.

"But last week, officials of the auditorium first said that we need police permission. When we informed them that we have already informed the police about the programme, they said that renovation work will be undertaken in the auditorium during the time and our programme could not take place there," said Rantidev Sengupta, the general secretary of the celebration committee.

Sources in the auditorium said that renovation and repair work would be undertaken and therefore the facility cannot be provided for the event due to "safety and security reasons."

The bookings for other organisations during that time have also been cancelled, the sources said.

If Hindus are not allowed to live in their own country India that is Bharatha, where shall we go? Since Nehru's family is a mixture of Christians and Muslims, and ably assisted by Ahmed Patel, there is a plan to hound out Hindus from their own country. In karnataka, Sonia's congress government is planning to close all government schools making way for Christian Missionary schools as per the instructions of Sonia.

Mahajati sadan is n't the Party H/Q of TMC to block any public meeting like that of
RSS/BJP.Democracy can't work at sweetwill of Mamataji.In politics no body is a friend or
foe.Perhaps TMC is counting its last days in power.

West Bengal is fast turning into Darfur area of Sudan, and parts of Syria and Iraq occupied by
ISIS. Basically we have the same Islamic ideology ruling west Bengal as other places
mentioned above. With porous borders we have thousands of Jihadi fighters entering everyday
from Bangladesh. As long as they pay homage to this megalomaniac called Mamta, the Jihadis
are allowed to Rape, murder and pillage at will. It is very strange that this occurs in 21 century
India.

Mangaluru, Feb 18: Notorious serial killer 'Cyanide' Mohan has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court here for the murder of a 23-year old woman from Kasaragod district of Kerala in 2006.

That was the 19th of the 20 murder cases slapped against him.

Sixth additional district and sessions court judge Sayeedunnisa  said the life sentence will commence after he serves the sentence of imprisonment in the other cases.

Cyanide Mohan had 20 murder cases registered against him. He is accused of killed several women using cyanide after befriending and raping them.

He has been awarded the death sentence in five cases and life imprisonment in three. Two of the death penalties were later commuted to life imprisonment.

According to the charge sheet in the latest case, Mohan met the woman while she was going to work at a unit of CAMPCO here. After befriending and offering to marry her, on January 3 in 2006, he took her to Mysuru and stayed in a lodge near the bus stand.

Like in all other cases, the next morning, Mohan asked the woman to remove her ornaments. The two went to the KSRTC bus stand where he asked her to consume a pill convincing her that it was a contraceptive. However, it was laced with cyanide.

The woman, who consumed the pill in the washroom, collapsed and was declared brought dead at a hospital.

As in previous cases, Mohan went back to the lodge and left the place along with her ornaments.

He was arrested later from Bantwal in 2009, after which he admitted to killing 20 women.

The judge directed the District Legal Service Authority to take steps to award compensation to the woman's mother under the Karnataka victim compensation scheme.
