In the wake of a debate over Salman Khurshid’s book on Ayodhya and a paragraph linking ‘Hindutva’ to terror groups like ISIS, the BJP’s Sambit Patra claims that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress have a “pathological hate” of Hinduism.

 

Mr. Patra’s remark came after Rahul Gandhi attempted to distinguish between ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Hindutva,’ a militant philosophy closely associated with the RSS, the ruling BJP’s ideological guru. Mr. Gandhi had a history of criticizing ‘Hinduism’ and its culture, according to the BJP leader, and it was in the Congress’ “nature” to attack Hinduism and “promote hatred” in society.

The state of Madhya Pradesh is considering legal alternatives to prevent Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s book Sunrise over Ayodhya from being banned for associating “strong version” Hindutva with ISIS and Boko Haram. The book has sparked outrage, with allegations of defamation of Hindutva leveled against the senior Congressman.

 

“Congress talks of dividing the country and Salman Khurshid has taken the same idea forward in his book Sunrise Over Ayodhya. We will take opinion from legal experts about banning this book in Madhya Pradesh,” state Home Minister Narottam Mishra said Friday. Calling it a “very condemnable book”, Mishra said, “these people do not leave any opportunity to break Hindutva, divide Hindus into castes.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the development plan for Ayodhya in a virtual meeting with Uttar Pradesh government officials on Saturday. During the meeting, PM Modi was informed about various upcoming and proposed infrastructure projects to improve connectivity with the city, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama from Ramayana.

The officials also discussed various infrastructure projects like airport, expansion of railway station, bus station, roads and highways, with the Prime Minister.

During the meeting, PM Modi described Ayodhya as a city that is “etched in the cultural consciousness of every Indian,” as he asserted that it should “manifest the finest of our traditions and the best of our developmental transformations.”

He also said that the city should be developed such that generations should feel the desire to visit Ayodhya at least once in their lifetime. The Prime Minister also pointed out that the developmental works in Ayodhya will continue in the foreseeable future, however, “the momentum towards heralding Ayodhya to this next leap of progress must begin now.”

“It is our collective endeavour to celebrate the identity of Ayodhya and keep its cultural vibrancy alive through innovative ways,” he said at the meeting as per the government release.

Nearly 15,000 bank checks worth Rs 22 crore have been bounced as donations to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.  This is stated in an audit report of the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi tirth kshetra, a trust created by the Center for the construction of the temple.  It has been said in the report that 15,000 bank checks were bounced due to low amount in bank accounts or due to some technical shortcomings.
 Trust member Dr. Anil Mishra said that banks are working to resolve technical glitches and they are asking people to donate again.  Out of these checks, around 2000 checks were collected from Ayodhya.  The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had launched a nationwide campaign to collect donations from January 15 to February 17.  These checks were collected during this campaign.
 Let us tell you that during this campaign an amount of about 5000 crores was raised, although the Trust has not yet released the final figures about the collected amount.

The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has submitted the layout of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, and other documents related to it, to Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) for approval.

Dr Anil Mishra, member of the Trust on Saturday handed over the documents to Neeraj Shukla, vice chairman and secretary of the ADA.

‘The trustee of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth area, Dr Anil Mishra, handed over the layout and other necessary documents of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi temple to the Vice Chairman and Secretary of the Ayodhya Development Authority for approval so that the construction work can start after the approval of the map,’ Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra said in a tweet.

The Trust on August 20 had said that the construction of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir has ‘begun’ and the engineers are now testing the soil at the site.

According to Trust, the shrine will be built by adhering to the country’s ancient and traditional construction techniques. It will also be built to sustain earthquakes, storms and other natural calamities.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Ayodhya on August 5 to attend the ‘Bhoomi pujan’ at Ram Janmbhoomi site.

In February this year, Prime Minister Modi announced the constitution of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, to oversee the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

India is the only country that has been able to stare down China with the might of its border troops and the Chinese will be forced to realise the strategic mistake they are making by provoking a powerful neighbour, BJP leader Varun Gandhi said on Thursday.

In an interview with PTI, the saffron party MP from Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh) also said it was “a dream come true” for him as a devotee of Lord Hanuman that the Ram Temple was being built in Ayodhya after years of struggle. Relating August 5, the day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the temple, with the country’s Independence Day, Gandhi said, “India once had a tryst with destiny in August 1947. It has woken up anew, reconnecting with its civilisational ethos.”

He said a successful resolution of the Ayodhya dispute is a hallmark of India’s system of governance, democracy and judiciary, while it also depicts a remarkable amity among people of different creeds and faiths in our country.

“As a bhakt of Hanumanji, the establishment of the foundation stone of the Ram Janambhoomi temple is a dream come true for me,” the 40-year-old leader said. “Lord Ram is not just for Hindus, he is a remarkable emblem of the Indic civilisation,” he added.

On the recent stand-off between India and China at LAC, Gandhi said China has been notably aggressive across most of its border areas in the recent past, with tension observed in South China Sea, Senkaku Islands, Taiwan and in Tibet, but “India remains the only country that has been able to stare down the Chinese, using its border troops.”

He further said many policy commentators voice apprehensions about China’s armed might, but it is often forgotten that India possesses the world’s largest and most experienced mountain fighting troops.

Describing death of India’s troops in Galwan Valley as a “seminal moment” in Indo-China relations, the BJP leader said he is confident that India’s armed forces, under Prime Minister Modi leadership, will hold forth and force the Chinese to realise the strategic mistake they are making in provoking India.

PM Modi in Ayodhya: “Ram Mandir will become the modern symbol of our traditions. It’ll become a symbol of our devotion, our national sentiment. This temple will also symbolise the power of collective resolution of crores of people. It will keep inspiring future generations.

Every heart is illuminated; it is an emotional moment for the entire country…  With the construction of this temple, not only history is being made, but is being repeated. The way boatmen to tribals helped Lord Ram, the way children helped Lord Krishna lift Govardhan mountain, similarly, with everyone’s efforts temple construction will be completed.

I believe that this grand Ram temple to be built in Ayodhya, like the name of Shri Ram, will reflect the rich heritage of Indian culture. I believe it will inspire the entire humanity till eternity.
