Mangaluru: Mumbai man repents for using scornful language against Kateel Goddess


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Jul 15: A person who uploaded message in social media that contained derisive matter about Goddess Durgaparameshwari of Kateel temple, visited the temple on Wednesday July 14 and confessed to his blunder.

An 80-year-old man from Bajpe, Albert Fernandes, who works in Mumbai, had sent a voice message to a person named Dinesh in which he had used obscene words about the Goddess. Dinesh had filed complaint about this in Bajpe police station.

Realizing his mistake, Albert came to the temple on Wednesday, and apologised to the Goddess in the presence of priest, K Laxminarayana Asranna, admitting that he was wrong in sending this derogatory message. He then went to Bajpe police station where he said he has realised his mistake and that he was repentant for the same. He said he is mentally devastated and that if he is arrested, he would not survive.

Considering his advanced age, the complainant withdrew the complaint and the matter was settled through mutual consent. Hindu organization and BJP leaders were present on the occasion.

    BUSINESS STANDARD FOR INFORMATION OF ALL: Don't register cases under repealed Section 66A of IT Act: Centre to states By Press Trust of India | New Delhi | Last Updated at July 14 2021 20:49 IST Topics Ministry of Home Affairs | IT act | information technology: The Centre on Wednesday asked the states to direct their police not to register cases under the repealed Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 related to posting online comments. The Supreme Court in 2015 had struck down the controversial Section 66A of the IT Act that made posting "offensive" comments online a crime punishable by jail, after a long campaign by defenders of free speech. However, recently, the apex court had said that it was shocking that the judgment striking down the law has not been implemented even now.

    This is a personal spat between 2 people. The 80 year old sent a message to the person, and that person put it on social media. It should have been settled between the two instead of using social media, the Temple authorities and most importantly the Hindu organizations. The poor old man has been made a scape goat in this incident.

    No person has a right to abuse others religion. This should be equal to all. I am surprised, how come plus 80 years old man's abusive voice message sent to the person called Dinesh has irked some public. The photograph, shows this old man is physically not able to stand properly. Every coin has two sides. Why not, Dinesh might have used the similar language to this old man, which he might have reciprocated.

    Let us respect this senor citizen age. In any case by no way any respected citizen of this democratic country has right to redicule any religion in this country. There's One God worshipped by different religions in different languages. Let us fight for our fundamental rights rather than misusing our precious time to talk against religion.

    1) Do not comment on other religion / community. This is common sense 2) Do not fight for your God & for his reputation, you just cannot protect God, God is the one who protects you simple as that. If you do not understand this then you need consult your religious head. 3) God is Spirit, apart from God there are many spirits in this world. Every spirit has got power.

    If he was in Gulf, he would have been stoned by the people let alone getting punished by law. This is the level of tolerance in India where a person was forgiven by the people belonging to the majority despite abusing them. Yet, people have the gall to say that India is intolerant to minorities.

    If an eighty year old man was dragged from Mumbai to Mangalore for apologizing for a message which his community will never endorse, I can feel the level of religious tolerance my community has reached. All the charity Christians do towards my community is never highlighted but one odd incident makes us the sky to fall down

    God does not discriminate. Genuine Repentance always merits compassion. One thing to note here folks ..many might miss is this... Those who 'SCORN' and 'ABUSE' are true believers than many who go to the temple, church , mosque. For they believe GOD is actually there !! Otherwise why will they scorn? Tell me? Got my point?? Tell you, this is not easy to penetrate. I have seen the clip of this man repent! Tell you another thing .... The Goddess too had willed him to see her! No ways possible otherwise. Strange are the ways of God! Man will never understand this...

    No doubt this act of Albert is condemnable but also investigate what made Albert to send this message to 8iDinesh. You cannot clap in one hand. I see a lot of comments everyday in FB targeting my religion but still i choose to ignore it. Also making a video of this old man confessing in the temple and circulating it in social media gives a good nights sleep for some people.

    Nobody has got right in commenting beliefs of others religion even if it sounds wrong to you. But in this case, by seeing his age, I guess he might not be fully intentional. Could have been ignored. I really wonder why a political party is involved here.
