‘Bajrang Dal ban’: Yogi calls Cong’s idea ‘mockery of Hinduism’

[ad_1]
Koppa: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday accused the Congress of attempting to ‘make a mockery’ of Hindu faith by proposing to ban Bajrang Dal, which the majority community will not tolerate and accept.
He also alleged that those who do not like Ek Bharat, Sreshtha Bharat’ (One India, Great India) are backing the anti-national’ organisations like ‘Popular Front of India’ (PFI).
Adityanath, who is also the head priest of Gorakhnath Math, said in a public meeting here in Chikkamagaluru district of poll-bound Karnataka, that he came from the land of Rama in Uttar Pradesh to the land of Hanuman (Karnataka).

The bonding between the two states underlines the fact that they are integrally one and “materialise” the concept of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’, he said.
“Those who don’t like Ek Bharat, Sreshth Bharat’ somewhere encourage anti-social and anti-national organisations like PFI on the one hand, and on the other, they want to ban organisations which are committed to patriotism and social service.”
“Banning Bajrang Dal means Congress is trying to make a mockery of the Hindu faith. Hindu community will not tolerate and accept it,” the BJP leader said.
Noting that the Ram temple issue in Ayodhya that was pending for more than 500 years and has been resolved by the “power of a slogan”, Adityanath asked the crowd to repeat after him, Jaikaara Veer Bajrangi, Har Har Mahadev’.
As Adityanath raised the slogan, the crowd followed him. He then appealed to those gathered there to take this slogan to every section of the society, so that those supporters of PFI “bite the dust”.

“When the Congress and the JD(S) government was in power in Karnataka, the PFI was encouraged,” he claimed.
“But due to the double-engine government’ (of the BJP) there is peace, harmony and security. Just as Uttar Pradesh has become a peaceful state, the double engine government in Karnataka tried to break the backbone of PFI by banning it.”
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also invited the people of Karnataka to attend the grand opening of Ram Temple in Ayodhya in January next year.
The Congress in its manifesto for the Assembly polls released earlier this week said it was committed to take firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred amongst communities on grounds of caste and religion.
The party said: “We believe that law and Constitution are sacrosanct and cannot be violated by individuals and organisations like Bajrang Dal, PFI or others promoting enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities. We will take decisive action as per law including imposing a ban on such organisations”.

I am Christian but still fond of Hinduism: SC judge KM Joseph

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Supreme Court judge Justice KM Joseph on Monday said he is a Christian but still very fond of Hinduism.
Justice Joseph, who was heading a bench that also comprised Justice BV Nagarathna, made the remark while hearing a petition seeking the formation of a renaming commission for restoring the “original” names of ancient, cultural and religious places in the country that have been “renamed” by barbaric invaders.
“I am a Christian but still I am very fond of Hinduism, which is a great religion and should not be belittled. The heights which Hinduism has reached and is mentioned in Upanishads, Vedas and Bhagavad Gita is unequal in any system. Hinduism has reached great heights in metaphysics. We should be proud of this great religion and not belittle it.
“We should be proud of our greatness and our greatness makes us magnanimous. I am trying to study it. You should also read the book of Dr S Radhakrishnan on the philosophies of Hinduism. In Kerala, there were several rajas who had donated land for churches and other religious places,” he said.
The bench, which dismissed the public interest litigation (PIL) matter filed by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay, said India is a secular country and it cannot be a prisoner of the past.
Justice Joseph pointed out that religious worship has nothing to do with the naming of roads and said Mughal emperor Akbar had tried to create harmony between various communities.

Those criticising Hinduism shouldn’t seek Hindu votes: BJP Karnataka chief

[ad_1]
Belagavi: Karnataka BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel said on Tuesday that those who criticise Hindu religion and say the word ‘Hindu’ has a different meaning, should say that they don’t want Hindu votes.
Addressing a public rally here, Kateel slammed Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president Satish Jarkiholi for his statement regarding the origin and meaning of the word ‘Hindu’.
Jarkiholi had said that the word Hindu had its origin in Persia, and it meant ‘slave’. The statement had stirred a big controversy, forcing the Congress to distance itself from the remarks.
Kateel, who was attending the Vijaya Sankalpa Yatra in Yamakanamardi constituency represented by Jarkiholi, dared him (Jarkiholi) to announce that he does not want Hindu votes.
“The Hindu community has woken up. This time he can’t contest from this constituency, he will have to search for another,” he said.
