Secularism is merely hollow idea introduced, promoted by people with vested interest: BL Santhosh
Says approaching Dharmasthala more likely to deliver justice than approaching Court, Police Station
Belagavi: BJP National General Secretary, BL Santhosh on Tuesday, while speaking at a conference of seers said approaching Dharmasthala with issues and concern is more likely to deliver justice than approaching a Court or a Police Station.
He was speaking at the Kaneri Siddhagiri Mutt in Kolhapur where the conference was underway. He further added that for hundreds of years Dharmasthala has been delivering justice.
He then said, “The people of Chitradurga have always maintained that placing forth a complaint at the Tarabalu Peetha ensures delivery of justice instead of merely a judgment. This has been the working style of the entire nation’s justice system.”
Our country always respects home, religious centers, and places of worship, he added.
“Religion has always been linked to administration in our country. Secularism is merely a hollow, vague idea introduced and promoted by people with vested interest along with others who had such tricks up their sleeve,” Santhosh further added.

KSCA expresses disappointment over missing IPL playoffs, says it was ready to host matches in B’luru
Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has issued a clarification stating that it was fully prepared to host the IPL playoffs and final matches in Bengaluru but the fixtures were allotted to other venues.
In a media note, KSCA said it was disappointed with the decision. The association stated that its president, former India cricketer Venkatesh Prasad, had been in touch with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and had formally conveyed the association’s readiness and interest in hosting the matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
KSCA said the IPL matches held in Bengaluru this season were appreciated for smooth conduct, crowd management and overall experience for spectators. It said this reflected its ability to handle high-profile matches.
The association also stated that it had sent a detailed communication to the BCCI explaining its preparedness and the operational arrangements followed during the current IPL season. According to KSCA, these systems have been in place since the start of the Indian Premier League in 2008 and were followed consistently, including during previous playoff matches hosted in Bengaluru.
The clarification added that the communication sent to the BCCI was only meant to provide factual and operational details and to bring clarity on logistical and stakeholder-related requirements involved in hosting such matches.
KSCA said that although it had shown willingness and preparedness, the BCCI has decided to allocate the playoff matches to other venues. It added that the reasons for this decision have not been formally shared with the association, but it respects the authority of the board in taking such decisions.
The association further said it remains ready to host matches of national and international importance and will continue to cooperate with the BCCI, franchises, government authorities and other stakeholders for conducting cricket events.
The statement was issued by KSCA official spokesperson Vinay Mruthyunjaya, who also thanked the media and cricket fans for their continued support.
