No regrets for Babri demolition; it’s time to build Ram Mandir: Pejawar seer

November 23, 2015

Udupi, Nov 23: Stating that demolition of historic Babri masjid in 1992 was an appropriate action by Hindutva forces, Pejawar mutt pontiff Vishvesha tirtha swami has pushed for construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Speaking after paying tribute to Vishva Hindu Parishad patron Ashok Singhal at condolence meet organised by the Udupi district unit of VHP, the seer said that the fulfilling the dream of Ram Mandir construction would be the right tribute to the departed soul of Singhal.

“I have no regrets for Babri demolition. It was a good and timely decision. We were happy when the demolition took place on December 6,” he said.

“When BJP came to power at the Centre for the first time and Atal Bihari Vajpayee became prime minister, I had advised him to build the Mandir. But, he had ignored my advice,” the seer recalled.

The seer went on to claim that Singhal was responsible or bringing the Hindu religion under a single umbrella. “He was the epitome of sacrifice and service,” he said.

“Singhal wanted to organise a huge convention of VHP in Udupi during the forthcoming paryaya of the mutt. His untimely death will not stop the process,” he said.

He also called upon the followers of Singhal to take up the campaign for Ram Mandir.

Mangaluru: A man fell victim to an online scam, losing Rs 1.7 crore after fraudsters posed as officials from TRAI. According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, the incident began on November 11, when the complainant received a call from an unknown number at 9:49 am.

The caller, claiming to represent TRAI, alleged that another mobile number registered under the complainant's name was involved in illegal activities in Andheri (East), Mumbai. The caller further stated that an FIR was lodged against the complainant for harassment under the guise of marketing. He was instructed to contact Andheri (East) police station immediately or risk his mobile service being deactivated within two hours.

The complainant was subsequently connected to an individual named Pradeep Sawant, who claimed the complainant was implicated in a money laundering scheme linked to the Naresh Goyal fraud case. Sawant alleged that a fraudulent bank account under the complainant's name was opened at Canara Bank, Andheri, and used to purchase a SIM card for illegal activities. He warned that the complainant could face arrest.

Later, the complainant was contacted via WhatsApp video call by individuals posing as Rahul Kumar (a police officer) and Akanksha (a CBI officer). They allegedly sent fabricated CBI documents to his WhatsApp number. The fraudsters demanded money to "resolve" the case. Fearing threats, the complainant allegedly transferred Rs 1.7 crore through RTGS in batches of Rs 53 lakh, Rs 74 lakh, and Rs 44 lakh between November 13 and 19. A case has been registered at the CEN police station and an investigation is ongoing.
