Pramod Mutalik urges Centre to ban All India Muslim Personal Law Board; asks members to go to Pak
Bijapur: Accusing All India Muslim Personal Law Board of instigating Hindu by stating that it would go ahead with the construction of Babri Masjid where the Ram Temple is going to be built, Pramod Mutalik, Sri Ram Sene Chief has not only demanded the Board be banned but has asked the Board members to go to Pakistan if they don’t believe in the Constitution of India or law of the land.
“Recently, the Board has issued a statement saying that it will go ahead and build Babari Masjid where the Ram temple is proposed. By giving such a statement, the Board is only provoking Hindu sentiments when the decades-long dispute has been resolved by the Supreme Court. The Board’s statement amounts to contempt of Court which has already given verdict about ten months ago in favor of the Temple”, Mutalik said at a press conference on Saturday.
Demanding the Union Government to ban the Board, he also accused the BJP government of going soft on the Board. “I really don’t understand why the BJP government is having a soft corner for the Board. Why no action has been taken against the Board so far. When the matter has been resolved amicably and Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has already performed ‘Bhumi Puja’ for the construction of Temple on August 5, then why the Board has been raising the issue of Masjid after ten months of the verdict, what is the intention behind it”, he said while showing a copy of tweet reportedly issued by the Board from its official Twitter account.
He also demanded the banning of SDPI for reportedly stating that the Babri masjid would be rebuilt at the same site.
Alleging the BJP government of neglecting, Pravin Togadia, one of the pioneers of temple movement, Mutalik wondered why such a person was not invited for the ‘Bhumi Puja’ program.
Referring to the COVID situation in the country, he echoed the sentiments of Congress which has accused the BJP government of involving in large scale corruption in buying equipment for containing the virus.
“I am openly saying that while the State government is involved in corruption, the Union Government has succumbed to pressure of Allopathic medicine manufacturing companies by not allowing Ayurvedic medicines to be used for treating COVID infection”, he said.
Mutalik claimed a noted Ayurvedic doctor Giridhar Kaje had treated some 10 COVID patients in just nine days with his medicines. “Yet the government is not ready to accept his medicine for treatment though they cost only Rs. 300.
“Instead, the government wants the people to shell out lakhs of rupees in getting Allopathic medicines”, he said.

Riyan Parag likely to be fined 25 percent of match fees for vaping inside dressing room
New Delhi (PTI): Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag is set to be fined 25 per cent of his match fee for bringing the game into "disrepute" after being caught vaping on camera during the IPL game against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.
Parag's actions during the Royals' chase on Tuesday night drew condemnation on social media.
PTI has learned that on field umpires Tanmay Srivastava and Nitin Menon had not reported the matter to match referee Amit Sharma right after the game. They only did that after seeing visual proof and Sharma found Parag guilty for a code of conduct breach as per the IPL guidelines.
The Level 1 offences carries 25 per cent deduction from match fees and one demerit point.
"He is set to be fined a portion of his match fees and a demerit point for a Level 1 offence," said an IPL source.
The Indian government had banned e-cigarettes back in 2019, prohibiting their production, sale and distribution. As per the law, the offender faces imprisonment up to one year and/or a Rs one lakh fine for a first time offence.
"Article 2.21 of IPL Code of Conduct is intended to cover all types of conduct that bring the game into disrepute and which is not specifically and adequately covered by the specific offences set out elsewhere in this Code of Conduct, including Article 2.20," the IPL Code of Conduct states.
"By way of example, Article 2.21 may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) prohibit, without limitation, the following: (a) public acts of misconduct; (b) unruly public behaviour; and (c) inappropriate comments which are detrimental to the interests of the game.
"When assessing the seriousness of the offence, the context of the particular situation, and whether it was deliberate, reckless, negligent, avoidable and/or accidental, shall be considered.
"Further, the person lodging the Report shall determine where on the range of severity the conduct lays (with the range of severity starting at conduct of a minor nature (and hence a Level 1 Offence) up to conduct of an extremely serious nature (and hence a Level 4 Offence)."
Since it is a Level 1 offence there was no need for a hearing.
Parag, who has not had the best of times with the bat this IPL, was seen inhaling an e-cigarette, also known as vaping, in the dressing room during the live broadcast of their game against Punjab Kings. Royals won the game to end Kings' unbeaten run in the tournament.
This is not the first controversy to hit the Royals this season. Earlier this month, team manager Romi Bhinder was fined Rs one lakh for breaching PMOA protocol after being found using his phone in the dugout.
IPL and BCCI officials involved in the conduct of the IPL termed it as a careless act in the age of social media and prying TV cameras.
Royals next host Delhi Capitals at home on Friday night.
