Be ready to resign if Centre fails to proclaim Ram Mandir ordinance: Pejawar seer tells BJP MPs

Mangaluru, Nov 25: Vishwesha Teertha Swami of Pejavar Mutt, who is one of the mastermind behind the decades old Ayodhya movement today urged all the BJP MPs to be ready to tender their resignation if the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government fails to bring out an ordinance for the construction of Ram Mandir. 

Speaking at the Janagraha convention organised by the Sangh Parivar at Nehru Maidan in the city on Sunday to drum up public support for construction of temple for Ram in the land of Babri mosque, the seer said: "The issue should be discussed during the Winter Session of the Parliament beginning December 11." 

He demanded the BJP to take up the issue on priority and warned that the saffron party would not win the elections in 2019 otherwise.

The meeting was organised in accordance with wishes of religious leaders in Delhi recently that such meetings should be held all across the country to whip up support for the issue. Terming the inordinate delay in building the temple as an insult and betrayal of the entire country, the Seer said there cannot be any compromise on the issue as Ayodhya was no less sacred than a mother.

“Hindus were hopeful that the Modi government will build the Ram Mandir during its tenure. Four-and-a-half years on, it hasn’t been able to deliver on this front. We need to encourage the government and pressure it to build the temple next year. There cannot be any comprise on this issue. The MPs should be ready to even step down if need arises and the government fails to deliver,” the seer said addressing a large gathering who sat on the ground in rapt attention, resembling a blanket of Saffron.

He said if there was no positive development in this regard by January next, all the Sadhus will unitedly take up a decision during the Kumbh Mela to be held in February, he said, giving an indirect warning to the government. He said it required a comprehensive coordination of the government, society and the sadhus in realizing the long-pending dream.

Calling this was the right time to build the temple; he said the Congress would not raise any objections as the elections were nearing. He said the fact that Ayodhya issue was being discussed when the Lok Sabha polls were around the corner should not be considered as a move to drum up support to any political party.

Sohan Singh Solanki, national coordinator of the Bajrang Dal, said the BJP would win the 2019 polls only if it started the construction of the Ram Mandir, else it would bite the dust. He said India will see ‘Achhey Din’ only after Ram Mandir became a reality.

God know what is going at their home of this bhakts. instead of doing such protest if they concentrate on family and personal issues atleast they would get peaceful life. There are many famous temples all over India, is they bothered to visit once in a year?If Also if they do some social work atleast needy people can get benefits.

Mangaluru, Nov 26: Assembly Speaker and local MLA U.T. Khader has initiated a high-level push to resolve one of Mangaluru’s longest-standing traffic headaches: the narrow, high-density stretch of National Highway-66 between Nanthoor and Talapady.

He announced on Tuesday that a formal proposal has been submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) seeking approval to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the widening of this crucial corridor.

The plan specifically aims to expand the existing 45-meter road width to a full 60 meters, coupled with the construction of dedicated service roads. Khader highlighted that land for a 60-meter highway was originally acquired during the initial four-laning project, but only 45 meters were developed, leading to a perpetual bottleneck.

"With vehicle density rising sharply, the expansion has become unavoidable," Khader stated, stressing that the upgrade is essential for ensuring smoother traffic flow and improving safety at the city's main entry and exit points.

The stretch between Nanthoor and Talapady is a vital link on the busy Kochi-Panvel coastal highway and connects to major city junctions. The move to utilize the previously acquired land for the full 60-meter width is seen as a necessary measure to catch up with the region's rapid vehicular growth and prevent further traffic gridlocks.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.

The Karnataka government has announced a 50% rebate on pending traffic and transport fines. The discount is available from November 21 to December 12.

The rebate applies to all traffic e-challans and violation cases booked by the RTO between 1991–92 and 2019–20. Officials clarified that the offer is not applicable to pending tax dues and is restricted only to traffic-violation fines.

Across Karnataka, more than 4 lakh RTO cases remain pending, including those involving transport vehicles. While thousands of vehicle owners have already cleared their dues, the department expects to generate substantial revenue through this limited-period rebate.

How to Pay and Avail the Discount

There are three ways to check and pay your pending fines:

1. Through Mobile Apps
Available on both Play Store and App Store:
•    Karnataka State Police (KSP) app
•    KarnatakaOne app
•    ASTraM app

Steps:
•    Enter your vehicle number in any of the above apps
•    Verify the photo/details of your vehicle
•    Pay the fine with the 50% discount applied

2. Visit a Traffic Police Station

You can pay your pending fine at any nearby traffic police station.

3. Visit the Traffic Management Centre (TMC)

•    Location: First Floor, Infantry Road, near Indian Express, Bengaluru

Transport Commissioner Yogeesh A M said, “We don't issue e-challans, so there's no online payment system.”

The department estimates ₹52 crore in pending RTO fines up to March 2020. “With the 50% rebate, we expect to collect around ₹25 crore if all dues are cleared,” he added.
