Bengaluru: On January 22, 2024, the dedication day of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, a Facebook/Twitter post shared by senior IPS officer, IGP Rupa Moudgil of Karnataka has gone viral.

“I can't forget this particular incident--during Ram Janmabhoomi struggle,sometime in Dec 1991,while I was in school,my town Davanagere witnessed golibar/police firing in which a youth Prakash Ninganna(if I remember correctly) lost his life. This news was carried only on BBC radio those times. Rooted in such raw and pure sacrifices of many, Lord Ram temple that is a reality today is built not just on faith, emotions but on strong legal grounds and is prashnateet/ unquestionable. Not able to comprehend why a few still have issues." she posted on Twitter.

Kiran Rajanahalli, who responded to this post, said, "Yes, Roopa, you said it. I too remember those days. Rama temple built on its own land with all legal grounds. People have been patiently waiting for many years to get this right legally."

Srinivasa Kulkarni said, “Very true… during 1990, in Davanagere Hindus death rate was increase day by day, but media was hidden all true information. As per local news total death toll was 17 to 23. Actual is more than 50+,” he commented.

Ashish Mukherjee says, “Dislike of the dispensation or dislike of what the temple stands for. Yes, there are many such people. Many people even question SC on every matter nowadays, just because SC judgments do not align with their thinking. Very unfortunate. “

K Sudhakar Patnaik says, “I too remember and findout my old files to go through the same incident and some facts finding reports. Infact i also followed to cover the story on Murali Manohar Joshi to jeypore during his Rathyatra in Koraput district of Odisha. Had no pas to attend his press meet. Mr Syma Sundar hamsada IPS was our Sp Koraput asked me to attend the press meet. Do you contest in general elections with BJP ticket or what Ms Roopa Modigil ji”

Along with this, Rupa Moudgil, an IPS officer of Karnataka cadre, also shared another post.

This post is about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Pran Pratishta day. “In the energising speech of h'ble PM .@narendramodi ji wherein each phrase and sentence was impregnated with meaning n significance,one that impacted me the most is the perspective to Jatayu incident...Jatayu who willingly fought Ravana,knowing the latter's might. PM exhorting everyone to follow example of Jatayu to voluntarily act and shed the feeling of helplessness,to do one's duty fighting adharma/injustice is so motivating to even make the dead come alive,act, immerse in nation building,” she posted.

Recently, a senior IAS officer from Maharashtra shared in her Facebook post that after the incident of December 6, 1992 (Babri Masjid demolition), she celebrated by eating peda and chanting Jai Shriram.

Although there are clear rules that the officers should be impartial and they should not be seen to be in favor of any religion, the fact that IAS and IPS officers are openly making statements in favor of one religion has caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Lucknow (PTI): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday alleged the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district over the survey of a mosque was "orchestrated" by the BJP, the government and the administration "to divert attention from electoral malpractice".

Police used tear gas and "minor force" in the face of stone pelting by locals in Sambhal on Sunday as tension escalated during a second survey of the Mughal-era mosque, claimed to be originally the site of an ancient Hindu temple.

Ten people have been detained and a probe was launched into the violence, an official said.

Tension has been brewing in Sambhal over the past few days after the Jama Masjid was surveyed last Tuesday on the orders of a local court following a petition that claimed that a Harihar temple stood at the site.

A day after the Uttar Pradesh bypoll results were declared and the Samajwadi Party managed to win just two seats while the BJP and its ally RLD bagged the other seven, Yadav levelled serious allegations against the police and administration.

"A serious incident occurred in Sambhal. A survey team was deliberately sent in the morning to disrupt discussions about the elections. The intention was to create chaos so that no debate on election issues could happen," the Samajwadi Party chief claimed.

Citing reports, he said several people were injured in the violence in Sambhal and asked when a survey of the mosque was already done, why was a new survey conducted again and "that too in the morning and without preparation?"

"I don't want to go into the legal or procedural aspects, but the other side was not even heard. This was intentionally done to provoke emotions and avoid discussions on election rigging," Yadav said.

"What happened in Sambhal was orchestrated by the BJP, the government and the administration to divert attention from electoral malpractices," the former UP chief minister alleged.

Asserting that in democracy, true victory comes from the people, not the system, he said, "The new democracy created by the BJP ensures that people cannot vote while the system dominates."

He added that whenever an impartial investigation takes place, and the truth comes out through booth recordings and CCTV footage, it will be evident that "voters did not cast their votes and someone else became the voter inside the booth".

Yadav claimed that on the polling day, the police and the administration removed the Samajwadi Party's almost all booth agents and many supporters who wanted to vote.

"If voters were prevented from voting, then who cast the votes? If Samajwadi Party votes didn't reach those booths and our candidate didn't get support, then who voted there? This is a serious issue," he said.

"Additionally, there were two types of slips, -- one with a red mark and another regular slip. We raised this issue on the voting day itself, stating that the administration had created such arrangements, leading to discrimination," Yadav alleged.

The Samajwadi Party's candidate for the Kundarki assembly bypoll Haji Rizwan too has alleged that his supporters were prevented from voting.

The BJP's Ramveer Singh won the bypoll in the Kundarki seat by a margin of over 1.45 lakh votes.
