Manglaore Aug 21: Hindu Janajagruti Samiti on Saturday August 21 opposed the move of the government of bringing down temples, churches and mosques in the name of demolishing illegally constructed buildings.

Speaking to presspersons Pradeep Kumar Kalkura accused deputy commissioner V Ponnuraj of dictatorship and stressed that India being a democratic country, people are free to follow their own religion. Moreover, here people are very sentimental about the temples, mosques, churches and basadis and therefore should not be demolished, they urged.

Kalkura said that the move to demolish several Jain basadis, Maroli Suryanaryana Temple, St Lawrence Church, Bondel and some ancient mosques which are said to be illegal as per the maps is meaning less
and shows that India is moving towards dictatorship.

State convenor Hindu Janajagruti Samiti Mohan Gowda said that temples nagabanas and bhajana mandirs has a history of more than 30 years and law of adverse position says that after 30 years of property possession it cannot be demolished calling it as illegal.

Zilla Andolan Pramukh Hindu Janajagruti Samithi,Sullia Ram Bhat said that a protest will be staged combining the leaders from all the community at various places in the district including DC office on
September 20 to oppose the bitter decisions of the government.

Retired deputy Tahsildar Sriram Bhat was also present.

    How could St.Lawerence church be Illegally built. Around 1913 a chapel was built and the present church was built during 1985 to 86.

    Religious teachings are considered to be pure and truth then how such religious structures be allowed in places which are illegally encraoched.
    For God's sake don't bring religion in the middle to protect the illegally possessed public properties. Better follow the law of the land and volunteer to shift the structure to a less crowded private place. A true religious person need not go to an illegally encroached structure to seek god. Religion is not a private property on display but it is a good way of life within you and your character and that is what the true teachings of all religion.

    Yes, I agree with Mr. Felix. God doesn't need a place to stay at the cost of convenience to His people. Any religious/non-religious structure which hinders the development & convenience of poeple should be demolished or to be set up in another place. Dear Catholics, please be co-operative as we always do. I am sure no one is taking a morcha here to save a church or Mosque.

    India is a developed country beyond 2020. We should show positive approach towards development irrespective of religious sites. Our faith should be within ourselves. We should look forward and NOT look backward. We should have got a town planning system similar to the west.
    Sir, Ponnuraj, Salutation to you, do which is right.

    As far as the places of worships are built illegal in the public land, it must be demolished and razed to dust, no mater what it may be, be it a temple, dargha, church, masjid, and the like. Mr Kalkura doesnt need to sympathise with the followers of other faiths. Now HJS openly says that India is democratic secular nation and one is free to practice his faith. If so why the hell you people are attcking churches and masjids, why did you demolish Babri Masjid?? Dont be opportunist and change color according to the need. Hyposcites. Long Live Supreme Court and Long live DC Ponnuraj. Jai HInd. Vande Mataram

    As far as demolition of the churches, which comes under the status of illegally constructed buildings, I dont think it should be a concern of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.

    If Churches are built on illegal properties, and stated by courts of law, saying so, they should be demolished, by giving a notice to that effect, to the concerned persons.
