‘Ram Mandir’ anaesthesia for upcoming polls
BJP and Sangh Parivar are slowly understanding the fact that the nation by now has realized Narendra Modi is an illusion that was created by the media and corporate sector. In four years’ time, Modi has shown to the country that he is the weakest and most undeserving Prime Minister the country has ever seen. He is a namesake PM, while the real decisions are being taken by industrialists such as the Ambanis and RSS. The nation is bearing the brunt of this now. Black money didn’t come back into the banks. Instead, the poor were fleeced and their money was being usurped by the banks. Economy hit rock bottom owing to note ban.
Those who thought demonetization would be a great success were disappointed. Rupee has almost slipped into a slumber against the dollar. Oil rates have skyrocketed. Gas cylinders cost almost Rs 1000 now. Those who let go of gas subsidy are cursing Modi as of now. The concept of digital banking has turned upside down. Aadhar is sucking out people’s lives. Farmers cannot even depend on their cattle owing to the menace of fake Gaurakshaks. Dairy farming has nosedived in rural areas. The government that does not pay heed to people’s miseries, is spending thousands of crores on Gaushala, statues and other things that do not alleviate people’s misery. The government is playing on people’s emotions since it has failed on the administration front. Hunger is more pertinent than emotions. Statue or Gaushala, none of these are able to help lift Modi’s image.
The colour of blue fox has come undone sooner than later. The illusion created by Modi is slowly melting away as the Lok Sabha elections are coming closer. But BJP has no new issues to fool people around with now, since they are forced to cover up for Modi’s blunders than his achievements. Rafael is turning into a noose around the neck of BJP that would refer to Bofors day in and out. At this time, the country has to be kept in the effect of anaesthesia. People have to be kept distracted. Hence, the BJP, Sangh Parivar have come together to blow life into the issue of Ram Mandir. All those who were silent till now have begun to speak about Ram Mandir. As the elections come close, this chanting will reach its crescendo. All those harms he inflicted upon the country would be pushed aside and Ram Mandir issue would take the centre stage. If Sangh Parivar and BJP succeed in winning elections second time over, the country is bound to witness darker days. Country’s economy would roll back by almost a century. Democracy would be finished and street rowdies of Sangh Parivar would take law into their hands.
The statements of people within and outside the government in the name of Ram Mandir are indicating the future of this country. Pejawar Swamiji who kept saying he never supported the Masjid demolition, he had tried to stop it and that he had shed tears when it was brought down etc. Now, he says the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to give any decision on Ram Mandir, stating courts should not interfere with religion. Now everyone understand the pain behind such statements. It’s pretty evident that he has been supporting superstitious traditions such as Made Snana and separate seating for devotees when they come to receive prasada at the mutt. So he does not want the courts to have a say in this matter. Since untouchability is part of the tradition, he may have a problem with it if the court deems it otherwise. As per him, all the laws against Sati, widow remarriage, ban entry into temples, casteism, all those sound like perfectly religious issues that should be left as is, without being meddled with by the court. In the guise of Ram Mandir, many like him want to bring them back into circulation.
As of now, Supreme Court isn’t going to decide on Ram Mandir per se. The decision is going to be about two claimants for the same piece of land. The court would only speak about who the land would go to, and not about whether a temple should come up there or a mosque. It is not the prerogative of the court to say that. Today, all politicians in the garb of religious leaders are trying to pressurize the court on such matters. “Supreme Court has to rule in favour of us. We know how to deal with it, in case that does not happen” have said loud and clear. Though this seems like a pro-Ram Mandir statement, all these are anti-democractic stances. This is a way of sidelining democracy with Ram Mandir in the front. The 2019 election will decide whether the country needs Ram Mandir or the constitution which returned the rights to common people, dalits and minorities. The future of the country lies in that verdict.

Speaker rules out discussion on Guv''s conduct amid K''taka Assembly standoff
Bengaluru (PTI): In an effort to end the logjam over the Governor's address that has stalled proceedings for the past week, Karnataka Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Wednesday ruled that legislators should not discuss Thaawarchand Gehlot or his conduct in the house, saying such debates send the wrong message to the public.
The House has witnessed repeated disruptions and adjournments since the session began on January 22 over the issue of the governor's conduct.
During his address to the joint sitting of the Karnataka legislature on January 22, Gehlot read out only three sentences from the 122-paragraph speech prepared by the state government.
The speech included criticism of the Centre for replacing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajivika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G), portions of which the governor declined to read.
Concluding his address in about two minutes, the governor left the house, triggering a commotion as Congress legislators attempted to gherao him and raised slogans.
While the opposition BJP accused the ruling Congress and its ministers of "insulting" the governor and demanded action, the treasury benches countered by claiming the governor had "insulted the National Anthem by leaving before it was played."
The house again witnessed heated arguments on the issue earlier in the day, leading to adjournment.
During the interruption, Khader held a meeting with ministers and opposition members to resolve the impasse.
When proceedings resumed, the speaker delivered his ruling.
Referring to the events of January 22 and the subsequent debate, Khader said the conduct and discussions had conveyed the wrong message to the public.
"Our conduct as members of this House and the opinions expressed must be in good taste and in accordance with constitutional provisions. They must uphold the dignity of the House and its members. We must introspect in this direction," he said.
He stressed the need for caution to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
"Let us end this matter here, continue the discussion on the motion of thanks to the governor, and refrain from discussing the governor or his conduct in this house," the speaker said.
Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka said the house should express regret over what he termed an "insult" to the governor.
Responding, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the situation would not have arisen had the governor read out the entire address.
"Asking the house to express regret is not appropriate. Why did the governor leave even before the National Anthem was played," Siddaramaiah asked.
BJP MLA S Suresh Kumar reminded Siddaramaiah that as Leader of the Opposition in 2011, he had asked then Governor Hansraj Bhardwaj to curtail his address.
Bhardwaj had subsequently placed the address on the table of the house, requesting members to treat it as read.
Siddaramaiah said the situation in January 2011 was different from the present one.
The debate grew intense, leading to another adjournment of the house.
