Narendra Modi led central government's performance is not as expected: Pejawar Shree
* Opposition to Modi, Shah’s intention of Congress mukt
Udupi: Narendra Modi led central government’s performance is not as expected, said Sri Vishvesha Tirtharu of the Pejawara Mutt.
Addressing a press conference here at Pejawara Mutt in Udupi, he said, "There are some achievements from the central government. But this government has not been able to achieve the desired level."
“The Modi government has not fulfilled their promises. They had said that they would bring black money but did not bring, Ganga was not cleansed. But they have brought some control over the country's economic sector,” Swamiji said.
► Ram Mandir is not a priority
When media asked about the completion of the Ram Mandir’s construction, he replied “it is not the country's priority. The conservation of farmers, the economic condition of the country is an urgent need. Construction of the Ram Mandir comes later; besides, this matter is still in court," said Pejawar Shree.
► Opposition to Congress Free
I oppose Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah's intention of making the country free from Congress. There has to be strong opposition parties for a healthy democracy,” Sri Vishvesha Theertha Swamiji opined.
► Today's democracy is distorted
Pejawarashree expressed concern that today's democracy is distorted by the political parties' legislators operation resort politics.
"I do not have a good opinion about any of these parties. They fought between each other and abused at each other before the elections, then joined hands for power. All of this is happening like a drama.
Looking at all this, there is an indication that I am the most ideal. That is the government of all religions. In some places, it has been practical. But I am skeptical about whether it is possible in India today, "said Pejawar Shree.
“Kumaraswamy is experienced. I expect good governance from him. In fact, I expect the best out of all governments. But today's politics is not clean, and democracy is distorted,” the Swamiji added.
► Unity of opposition parties
When asked about the BJP government losing its popularity, he said “today the BJP's strength is uniting the opposition parties. How all the opposition parties were united when Congress was strong; in the same way, now parties including Congress are uniting against BJP today. The impact can be seen in the next elections," he said.
It all depends upon how the Narendra Modi Government fulfills its promises and how it gives governance.
► Thinking of the Iftar party
This time also the idea of organising an Iftar party by the Pajawara mutt is taking place and talks are going on with Muslims. But the final decision is not yet taken. We would organise it if the Muslim leaders agree, will not insist.
But this time they are not showing that enthusiasm. If we do, we will organize it at the Pejawara mutt’s Govinda Kalyanamantapa.
I do not listen to anyone. We aim to bring harmony in both Hindu and Muslim communities. I will condemn when Hindus face injustice.
“Hindus should get all the benefits available to minorities. It was a big controversy when I had asked to amend the Constitution for this if necessary. I did not say that I would change the constitution. I wanted there was no discrimination against anyone,” the seer said.

Passenger slapped during panic attack on IndiGo flight; Goes missing after landing, family seeks ans
Mumbai/Kolkata/Silchar: A shocking incident aboard IndiGo flight 6E138 from Mumbai to Kolkata has gone viral, sparking outrage after a video emerged showing a man being slapped mid-flight while reportedly suffering a panic attack. The victim, identified as Hossain Ahmed Mazumdar from Assam, has since gone missing, and his family is seeking urgent answers.
The video, widely circulated on social media, shows Hossain in visible distress, attempting to leave his seat and reportedly requesting to deboard. As flight attendants tried to calm him down, another passenger suddenly approached and slapped him. The incident triggered immediate protest from fellow travellers.
A young man suffers a panic attack, his co passenger slaps him. Indigo airlines says “All appropriate regulatory agencies have been duly informed, in line with protocol.”

This is a criminal case and the man needs to be on a No Fly List @DGCAIndia pic.twitter.com/dY1gQC6ze0
Hossain, a gym trainer based in Mumbai, was en route to his hometown Katigorah in Cachar district via a connecting flight from Kolkata to Silchar. However, he never boarded the Silchar flight, and his mobile phone remains unreachable. His family, who had gathered at the Silchar airport, are now in distress. Zubairul Islam Mazumdar, a relative, said, “We have no idea where he is. We’ve contacted the police and airport authorities but haven’t received any concrete information.” His father, Abdul Mannan Mazumdar, who is undergoing cancer treatment, said tearfully, “He was our only hope. Now we don’t even know if he’s safe.” In a statement issued on August 1, IndiGo Airlines said: “We are aware of an incident involving a physical altercation on board one of our flights. Such unruly behaviour is completely unacceptable, and we strongly condemn any actions that compromise the safety and dignity of our passengers and crew. Our crew acted in accordance with established procedures. The individual identified as unruly was handed over to the security authorities upon arrival. Regulatory agencies have been informed as per protocol.”

However, the airline's statement has been criticised for failing to clarify what happened to Hossain after the incident, whether he received medical help, was detained, or was allowed to continue his journey.
Weak kneed response from @IndiGo6E . Has the man who got physical with a fellow passenger been put on a no-fly list? Has Indigo followed up on its complaint at point of disembarkation? If the passenger was handed over to the @CISFAirport were charges pressed? pic.twitter.com/qXMnfiBbFE

The video triggered widespread anger on social media, with many users interpreting the slap as a possible hate-driven act. However, aviation journalist Jagriti Chandra of The Hindu offered a clarification on X, stating: “The passenger who assaulted a co-passenger aboard IndiGo flight was handed over to law enforcement agencies for unruly conduct. Incident occurred after one passenger was feeling uncomfortable in the flight and wanted to deboard. Both belong to the same religious community.”

Despite this clarification, concerns remain about the airline's handling of a visibly distressed passenger, particularly in the context of mental health. Unverified posts circulating on social media claim that Hossain was later found, though there has been no official confirmation from authorities or the airline.
Alhamdulillah! Hussain Ahmed Mazumder, who was assaulted on an IndiGo flight while returning from Mumbai to Silchar and went missing, has now been found safe in Kolkata.
