SDPI to hold rally on Dec 6, says govt must abide by its promise to rebuild Babri Masjid

Media Release
December 2, 2018

New Delhi, Dec 2: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned RSS and its allied organisations like Shiv Sena, VHP, Bajrang Dal etc for disturbing peace and communal harmony at Ayodhya on the pretext of Ram Mandir.

The SDPI feels it is a deliberate attempt to terrorise the people of our country to press for an unlawful construction of Ram Temple by hook or crook bypassing the judicial proceedings and the final verdict in the title suit pending before the Supreme Court. In 2010 Lucknow bench verdict of Allahabad High Court partitioned the disputed land among the parties with one third part of the land for the reconstruction of Babri Masjid. But it was stayed by Supreme Court and subsequently the only option in a democracy is to wait for its verdict. 

In a press conference called  in Delhi, the party national leaders including its National Vice President Mr R P Pandeya, National General Secretaries Mr Abdul Majeed and Mr Mohammed Shafi, Natioanl Secretary Dr Tasleem Ahmed Rehmani and Delhi State Convenor Dr Nizamuddin Khan said that 2 days long Ayodhya mass mobilisation involves several hundred crore of rupees with tremendous inconvenience to the people in East UP and thousands of frightened residents had to move away from their homes fearing violence from provocative sloganearing mobs roaming in Ayodhya and Faizahad streets.

This mobilisation has sent a shock wave across the country among all peace-loving, just and law-abiding citizenary. SDPI leaders said that all this havoc was created to generate a threat to the country and it judiciary that these outfits will not adhere to any rule of law. The party leaders demand that Govt. should recover the cost of all police and other arrangements from the organisers for creating such a situation. They said,  had  such rally be organised by any group of SC, ST, OBC or minority or from any secular socialist group for their just and lawful demands,  the same Hindutva groups may have come in large number to disturb the gathering like they did in Bhimaji Koregaon in Maharashtra in February.

SDPI national leaders said that Muslim leaders never moblised the community on streets  since last 3 decades for forceful reconstruction of Babri Masjid though Ex-Prime Minister  Narsimha Rao promised the community on the day of its demolition that the Masjid be constructed at the same place.  They took the position that law of the land is to be trusted and always maintained that everybody has to accept the final court verdict. In this scenario this unilateral huge mobilisation by so called Hindutava groups many of whom are not even a party in the court clearly shows that they have yielded to their defeat in this case prior the verdict. Now they want to create an atmosphere of hate and fear among the masses targeting even honourable courts clearly spelling out that they don't believe in judiciary.

SDPI condemns all such statements made by so called stalwarts of nationalism in the country like RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat who openly say courts have no jurisdiction to decide any Astha. While the Supreme Court has already observed that this is not a case of Astha, but a title suit which will be examined and decided as per law.

SDPI also condemned the PM statement at an election rally at Alwar Rajasthan accusing its arch rival Congress as an obstacle in the temple construction with the active connivance of the Supreme Court. It was giving an impression as if courts are working at the behest of Congress party which is again an attempt to malign the judiciary for his political vested interests. It is a dangerous trend for the health of a democratic system where judicial system plays a vital role.  Hence this anti- national statement tantamount to contempt of court. SDPI demands Prime Minister Modi shall apologise the nation for such a dangerous statement merely for winning some state Assembly elections. It was expected that PM will advise his party colleagues and mentors to stay calm and let law shall take its own course.

SDPI also condemn Shiv Sena attempt to settle its political score in the Ayodhya streets clearly aiming to install its CM in Maharashtra and eking out major seat share in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. While none of the Thakrey family member ever visited Ayodhya they deliberately choose this venue to garner sympathy of Maharashtrian Hindus to compete with BJP to maintain its claim as a major Hindutava force in the state. Their only aim is to retain power in the country to implement their fascist agenda to serve the interests of the corporate groups and to eliminate secular and socialist groups working for the poor. Under the camouflage of Ram MandirAstha definition of nationalism and patriotism is being changed to Hindu Nationalism and every voice of downtrodden poor asking for their rights and justice being curbed and termed as anti-national. On the other hand this has become a successful veil to hide their failures and corruption at higher places.

Now as the RSS, a right wing radicalised group, has taken direct command of Ram Mandir movement it has become more evident that country may see chaos and anrchy in the times to come.

SDPI also announced a big rally on 6th Dec 2018 in Delhi where large number of civil society organisations along with SC, ST and minority organisations to demand reconstruction of Babri Masjid at the same place. Title of Rally will be "Regain Babri Masjid, Regain Constitution." It will start at 10 am from MandiHouse and March to Parliament House wherein thousands of people belonging to various castes, communities, and religious groups will participate to break the myth and falsehood of these fringe groups that whole country is unanimous for Ram Temple construction.

SDPI expressed its satisfaction that Hindutava groups malicious attempt to break law and order in Ayodhya has failed and proved to be a flop show by the so called Ram Bhakts as they could not mobilise the desired size of mob and the day passed off peacefully.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
