VHP to hold Ramotsav in 2015

August 24, 2014

Jaipur, Aug 24: Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Sunday indicated going soft on the Ram temple issue for now, saying the “permanent temple” would take shape in Ayodhya after the Supreme Court verdict.

The Hindu outfit, however, asserted that it has not given up Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue and would raise it during its “Ramostav” celebrations in March-April next year.

“We have not given up Ram Mandir issue. We will not leave this issue, though during VHP's golden jubilee celebrations, VHP is busy on other social issues too,” VHP's senior functionary Vinayak Rao Deshpande told a press conference here.

“Kacha (temporary) Ram temple is there very well in Ayodhya. Permanent Ram temple's shape would come up after the Supreme Court judgment.

“However, the High Court had given its verdict in Hindus' favour. VHP will hold Ramotsav from March-April, 2015 to raise it voice for Ram Mandir,” the outfit's joint general secretary said.

When questioned on BJP's move to raise the issue of love jihad' in Uttar Pradesh, VHP functionary said, “We welcome BJP's step. This issue affects over one lakh girls every year in the country.

“VHP has saved over 10,000 girls after counselling in the past, and many of them got remarried with Hindu boys.”

Mr. Deshpande said there was a need to inculcate “Hindu” values in the youth and raise awareness on the issue.

“This problem needs a better awareness programme and hindu sanskar' should be inculcated in growing kids,” the VHP functionary said.

Love jihad' is a term coined by some Hindu groups for alleged efforts to get non-Muslim girls to convert to Islam through love affairs.

He said Vishwa Hindu Parishad will hold a three days “World Hindu Congress” to focus on an agenda of women and youth empowerment, media, education beginning from November 21 to 23 in Delhi.

Over 3000 delegates including 1000 from abroad will take part in the three—day congress to be held at Ashok Hotel from November 21, Mr. Deshpande said.

Issues like women and youth empowerment issues, role of media, education, Hindu economy to attract businessmen from abroad, and Hindu politics would be taken up for deliberations, Mr. Deshpande said.

To coincide with VHP's golden anniversary year celebrations, VHP would hold five national level meets in Mumbai, Bangalore, Bhopal, Kolkata, and Delhi during November to February, 2015, he said.

VHP will also hold blood donation camp at 1000 places, he said, adding the outfit would ask its activists to pledge their eyes to help over two crore blind people.

Environment conservation programme will be launched in July 2015 which will include planting saplings specially of Tulsi in each house, he said.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs. 

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
