Build Ram Mandir before election; it would be difficult without majority
Pejawar seer insists Modi government
Vijayapura, Dec 31: “Before coming to power, the BJP leaders have promised of constructing Ram Mandir in various election rallies. Fulfill those promises before next Lok Sabha elections.
Now, there is government and it has majority. Is it possible to fulfill the promise if there would be no majority in future”, Vishveshwara Thirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt asked the BJP government at the centre.
In a media interaction during his visit to Kaggoda to participate in Indian cultural festival on Monday, the Swamiji said that “We have waited for five years for Ram Mandir construction. Now we are prevailing upon the BJP government at the centre. The promises were not fulfilled.
But this is the right time for Ram Mandir construction. Though the Mandir construction issue is in Supreme Court, the centre could bring in Ordinance as per the opinions of legal experts. In view of this, the government should take a strong decision to retain the people’s faith on it”, he said.
”Ram Mandir issue was already discussed in the Dharma Samsath, for which we are giving the deadline till election for the construction of Ram Mandir. The central government should live up to its promises”, he demanded.
Let govt convene meeting
“The government itself should convene a harmony meeting between Hindus and Muslims. Earlier, we had conducted such meetings. When Krishnakanth was the vice president, I had convened Hindu-Muslim meeting. Now, I could not organize such meeting. It is better that the central government should convene such meetings. Let the government invite the Muslim religious leaders and us. It should take the first step of harmony. I would participate if the government convened such meeting”, he said.
Swamiji invites Prof Bhagavan to mutt
It was not fair to insult Sri Rama by Prof Bhagavan and others. Earlier also, an open discussion was called at Mysuru over the issue. But the government did not allow it citing law and order problem.
But he would personally invite Prof Bhagavan to the Mutt and discuss with him. He was ready for discussion. If Prof Bhagavan did not accept his invitation, then he would think that the writer has no courage to face him, the swamiji said.
Farmer-Rama both are important
“Both Rama and farmer are important. Rama is a symbol of self –esteem, farmer is the symbol of the country. The governments should take concerns towards the farmers. I would take both the issue together. The governments should take all possible steps to empower farmers economically”, he said.
When Swamiji was asked about Achche Din and administration, the Swamiji said that he would not speak political issues. Why don’t you question the working style of the government? Ask about it. The state government has not introduced any good programmes. But some programmes of the central government were good, he said.

New Delhi (PTI): The CBI on Friday questioned industrialist Anil Ambani for the second consecutive day in connection with a Rs 2,929-crore cheating case, registered against Reliance Communications Ltd and him on a complaint by the State Bank of India, officials said.
Ambani arrived at the agency headquarters at around 10 am, they said.
On Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sought his responses on alleged fund diversion, misappropriation and other irregularities in the loan funds issued to the company by the bank, they said.
"The appearance is in furtherance to Mr Ambani's commitment to extend full cooperation in the matter with all agencies," Anil D Ambani's Spokesperson had said in a statement on Thursday.
The CBI had booked Ambani in August last year for allegedly defrauding the SBI to the tune of Rs 2,929 crore, officials said.
According to the SBI complaint, now part of the FIR, the company had an outstanding of over Rs 40,000 crore to various lenders, with the public sector bank alone facing a loss of Rs 2,929 crore, according to 2018 figures.
The CBI booked Ambani and RCom for allegedly committing offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal breach of trust.
"It is alleged that the accused persons, in criminal conspiracy, misrepresented and got sanctioned credit facilities from SBI in favour of Reliance Communication Ltd," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement in August last year.
Ambani's spokesperson responded, "Anil D Ambani denies all allegations and charges, and will duly defend himself."
According to sources, the agency also searched the Ambani residence 'Sea Wind' at Cuffe Parade in Mumbai.
The complaint filed by SBI pertains to matters dating back more than 10 years, according to Ambani's spokesperson.
At that time, Ambani was a non-executive director of the company, with no involvement in the day-to-day management, a statement from his spokesperson then said.
"The matter remains sub-judice, pending before the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) and other judicial forums, including the Supreme Court, for the past six years," it said.
Anil Ambani has duly challenged SBI's declaration before the competent judicial forum, it said.
