Bangalore: Yeddyurappa Rules out Ban on Sri Rama Sene

Agencies
 
Bangalore, Feb 4:
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today ruled out any ban on the Sri Rama Sene in the wake of the January 24 incident in a pub in Mangalore.



He said there was no question of banning Sri Rama Sene. 'There is no such proposal before the state government,' he told mediapersons before the pre-budget meeting with different heads of the Task Force to know about their demands and receive suggestions for better implementation of various welfare projects of the state government. Replying to a question about National Commission for Women (NCW) member Nirmala Venkatesh urging for setting up of a State Commission for Women and appointment of a Chairperson within 48 hours, he said, ''It is a suggestion, we would look into it and take a decision soon.'' Earlier, Ms Venkatesh, talking to mediapersons said she had met the Chief Minister and urged him for setting up of a State Commission for Women and appointment of a Chairperson within 48 hours.

Ms Venkatesh, who visited Mangalore in connection with the attack on women in a pub said she had submitted her report to Chairman Girija Vyas yesterday.

      Dear Mr. M. Bhat, PLEASE go to any charitable institution founded by Mother Theresa and survey yourself how many Muslims are being treated there. For that matter you may go to any Christian run hospitals to see all the patients regardless of religion are being treated equally and you will be surprised to know none of them are converted to Christianity. I believe you did not understand the actual issue here you are interested only in religious issues.

      Mr. Bhat, You are writing as though one of the christian missionaries approached you for conversion and if you didnt convert then why didnt you convert. I am sure because whatever religion you are following, you love your religion and respect it and no matter what, you will not change it for anything correct.

      And if no missionaries approached you then dont write something that you have not experienced. Moreover any individual converting their religion for food or education or for a house, I sincerely think that individual does not respect any religion because the person is converting only for material things, and in this case the individual is to be blamed.

      Hello Mr. M. Bhat, Dont spoil the name of our religion by speaking of religion. Its now about the Sena who is hitting women, not any religion. Why do you speak about religion and try to divide this country of great culture and peace. Dont try to be a Britisher using " Divide and rule policy". And for your point : WHY HINDUS ARE ONLY AND ALWAYS TARGETED SINCE CENTURIES? what do you say about this : KALYAN SINGH: I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEMOLITION OF BABRI. PLEASE DONT SPEAK ABOUT ANY RELIGION ON EVERY OCASSION. U HYPOCRITE.

      Mr M.Bhat, Mumbai. If you think, Christians doing charity for conversion, you are mistaken. You need to ask me for my story. I earn money today because I got free education from Christians. I respect them for that. My family 6 kids and we were very poor. Mother expired of sickness when last girl was 8 months.

      I am the eldest and only son. Nuns came to my house and our locality (hindus, muslim, christians)everyday to teach us english. My father was cobbler. I repaired umbrellas with him. Today I am surveyor. I send money to my aged dad and younger sisters. They NEVER asked me to convert. We understand each other religion well and respect it.

      My sisters also got free education. And my niece and nephews also study in christian institution. Why didnt they convert? You are poisoning peoples minds. Why there are so many christian hospitals and orphanages? and how many of them do you think are christians or converted.

      Conversion is political agenda. Christians have given selfless service. I also visit Calcuta, Nirmal Hriday of Mother Teresa. americans serving people about to die. What will convesion give?.Simply dont make up issues? I have good Hindu roommates and friends in Oman.I feel BJP and Co spoiling the Hindu religion. please think over. I have nothing against hindu or christian. Please dont spread hatred. I have first hand expeience. God bless.

      Mr.M. Bhat, Why dont you Hindus start charity for your people? why dont your Hindus build their own school/colleges, why Hindus need Convent Schools? No one is asking Hindus to convert, and if someone with their own wish is converting catch them and ask. Charity we dont do only for Hindus, Mother Theresa never saw any religion and picked a person from the road/gutter, she treated every Human equally, being educated people talk/think like this i feel sad, like that many Christians have got married to Hindus and have converted to Hinduism i have someone in my family, so what should we say about it? We are in Independant India, and religion is man made, so as long as we dont harm anyone and care for every human equally, that will be the best religion. Please read your "Geeta Saar" and try to understand see how beautifully it explains. And let us all educated people live like educated and civilized people, lets not fight on religion and culture. Jai Hind

      Can anybody reply? There are many Good Christians who believe that missionary work is directed at helping the poorest of the poorest! The manner in which this noble work is done makes many Hindus convert Christianity! The Sarchar Committee report that Government of India has accepted, states that Millions of Muslims in this country are the poorest of poor (poorer than the STs and the SCs), they lack economic power and suffer from poor medical / educational faculties.

      HOW COME THE MISSIONARAIES ARE NOT WORKING FOR THEIR (MUSLIMS) UPLIFTMENT? HOW COME THEY ARE NOT SETTING UP CHURCHES AND ORPHANAGES IN POOR MUSLIM AREAS? The answer to this question would be embarrassing to the Church in India! They may find it shameful to admit that missionary charity is a means to an end. They would also face severe consequences if they attempted to convert poor Muslims using charity as an excuse.

      The Hindus (as the community is most tolerant to anyone) are soft targets for conversions and that is why all this zeal for charity! WHY HINDUS ARE ONLY AND ALWAYS TARGETED SINCE CENTURIES?

      One  point which comes to mind when we read this comments are how uneducated and divisive we are.Despite being highly qulaified and sitting in some plush MNC offices we still cannot see beyond our own religion.Majority of the views are biased and centred on religion . We the so called educated people are such a big hypocrites we blame uneducated people for all the evils in the society.We the educated people sitting in comforts of AC offices repsonsible for this rot in the society. We use our intelligence to manipulate the thoughts of uneducated people by sowing the seed of communal hatred,casteism and regionalism.We know we are not going to be  affected by it as we are sitting in middle east, USA and other western countries. We enjoy the comforts of the profession offered by these countries and then try to show our patriotism/love of our religion by writing comments of divisive politics. I am not writing this on belalf of any community though my name sounds the obvious.Wake up my friends rise above the narrow thinking and have the courage to raise your voice against any injustice irrespective of which community you belong to. I still believe we the middle class are not the future of these country, future lies with the downtrodden. Today we may manipulate them by our intelleigence but a day will come they realize our design and revolt for a change.

      It is time that an organization should be formed to bash such miscreants like Sri Ramsena who are publicly beating our sisters. Do not depend on the politicians who will beg with you after every five years. Ours is a democratic country and our culture is diversified and not what this foolish people are propagating. We are taught to love and respect our brothers and sisters and not create such unrest like the Sri Ram or Bajrang dal hooligans are doing.

      According to Goldman Sachs global research report on Ten Things for India to Achieve its 2050 Potential, the worlds second fastest growing economy has the potential to even outgrow the US economy by 2050 provided it pays attention to the following ten fields: (1) improve governance (2) raise educational achievement (3) increase quality and quantity of universities (4) control inflation (5) introduce a credible fiscal policy (6) liberalize financial markets (7) increase trade with neighbours (8) increase agricultural productivity (9) improve infrastructure and (10) improve environmental quality.

YOU CANNOT FORCE YOUR IDEAS ON OTHERS. YOU HAVE TO LIVE BY EXAMPLE. Beating up people, using religion as an excuse will never work. Yediyurappa, banning this group will not help either. Please divert your  attention to more serious problems facing India. We went to pubs, and we came out alive, with our culture intact.

I just want ask people of mangalore want the city to get developed but they dont want migrant population coming into mangalore. The higher rentals or the escalating property prices are because of migrants coming into mangalore. So its not right to say north indians coming into mangalore is spoiling mangalore.

      Govt should look after the development of the state instead of capitalising on the useless issues. Also the opposition should cooperate with the government in all aspects pertaining development. It all seems the opposition parties are creating havoc to the BJP government by raising issues one after another by thinking they are going to lose power in the state as like in Gujrat. BJP should capitalise on development just like Gujarat, should compete with Gujarat in development.
