Babri masjid was demolished due to conducive environment in Kalyan Singh government: Pejawar Swamiji
Udupi, November 23: “Then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao had told me that hundreds of people would have died if the action was taken against them during Babri Masjid demolition, due to which the government did not take any action. In the same way, then Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh had also helped the drive. As a result, the Babri Masjid demolition was continued unabated”, said Vishvesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt.
Felicitating the Kara Sevaks who had participated in the Babri Masjid demolition at Ayodhya, organized prior to the Janaagraha convention by the VHP urging the central government to present a Bill in the Parliament for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, on the Sri Krishna Mutt premises here on Friday, the swamiji said that “I have not agreed to demolish the Babri Masjid forcefully. Since the government was informed in writing, we did not have the intention of demolishing the Masjid. But the kara sevaks had violated the resolution and attacked the Masjid. Demolition was appropriate action. But we have failed to meet out words which is not right”, he said.
Though he had appealed the people not to demolish the Masjid, none of the Kara Sevaks listened to his words. His efforts went in vain before the enthusiasm of the people. He was a mute spectator while demolishing the Masjid. He had not gone to demolish the Masjid. But finally, he had realized that there was a Mandir, the Swamiji said.
Senior Kara Sevaks were felicitated on the occasion. RSS leader Somashekar Bhat, Bajrang Dal district convener Dinesh Mendon were present. Bajrang Dal South region convener Sunil K.R delivered keynote address, while VHP district secretary Pramod Shetty welcomed and city unit president Santhosh Suvarna Bolje proposed vote of thanks. Bhagyashri Aithal compared the programme.
Moily did not try to arrest me
“There is no reason for the Muslims to feel sad in the Babri Masjid demolition issue, because, there were clear proofs on Mandir in place of Masjid. Attempts were made to arrest me for giving a statement about it. I was also prepared to be arrested. But then Chief Minister M. Veerappa Moily did not take risk to arrest me”, said the swamiji.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
