BJP makes Ayodhya a political issue: H.S. Doreswamy
Bengaluru, September 30: “The BJP leaders have converted the Ayodhya dispute as a political issue to gain political mileage. If they have real concerns over the feelings of the people, they would have developed Ayodhya. But the BJP has gained political advantage due to Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue instead of developing the Ayodhya city”, said freedom fighter H.S. Doreswamy.
Speaking at a photo exhibition on the present situation of Ayodhya, organized by the photographer Sudhir Shetty near Metro Station on M.G. Road in the city on Sunday, Doreswamy said that BJP people do not want Rama. They just require communal clash in the name of Rama. They have made a big mistake by demolishing the Babri Masjid, he regretted.
As Ayodhya was in dispute, it was lagging behind in development. Though the people there were living together harmoniously, the outsiders had disturbed the situation. So, Ayodhya city had become a centre of dispute. Both BJP and RSS have gained the political mileage by making it a dispute instead of developing the city. Even today, they were trying to get the political benefit instead of developing the city, he alleged.
Former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde said that Ayodhya people do not have incongruity among themselves. They have been living together. It was better to leave the issue to the locals to solve it. The recent Supreme Court verdict on Ayodhya issue was a welcoming note. But it would not solve the problem completely, he said.
It was not sure that the people would have harmony even after Supreme Court order on the issue. So, the locals should sit together and find an eternal solution to the problem. Interestingly the intervention of the outsiders was more in the issue. Because of the political interests, the issue was blown out of proportion. It was not possible to solve everything just with the Supreme Court verdict, he stressed.
Photographer Sudhir Shetty has exposed the reality and present situation of Ayodhya and Ram Janma Bhoomi. The locals would not require this dispute. In the name of dispute, the development works have taken a back seat. The Hindus and Muslims of Ayodhya want to solve the problem amicably. But the political leaders have been trying to keep this issue alive for their benefit. This was effectively exposed in the exhibition through photos.

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.
