Sri Ram Sene seeks ban on SDPI, blames Kerala activists for violence in Mangaluru
'We have clear evidence to show that SDPI activists from Kerala are responsible for communal violence in Mangaluru and other places. They need to be arrested. SDPI should be banned, like the PFI,' he said.
He was speaking to reporters here on Sunday.
He said that caste-based discrimination is deep-rooted and is nearly impossible to eliminate.
'Basavanna fought all his life to eradicate the caste system and establish a new social order. But we have confined him to a caste and we take pride in following the caste system. We are also limiting B.R. Ambedkar to a particular caste. This is deplorable. We should forget all our caste distinctions and announce that we are proud Hindus,' he said.
He urged the people not to donate to maths and other Hindu religious institutions. 'They are all well developed. They do not need your support. It is Hindu activists like us who need your support. Most of our resources are spent in fighting cases,' he said.
He said that the Love Jihad prevention helpline has received over 5,000 calls in one year.
'We have resolved over 90% of the cases and provided solace to girls. Our activists trace address and phone numbers of Muslim boys who lure girls. They find the girls, convince them of the conspiracy and succeed in reuniting them with their parents,' he said.
'We are not opposed to genuine love. But we will not tolerate fake love and attempts to convert innocent Hindu girls to Islam with false promises,' he said. He said that he is confident that the evil practice of Love Jihad will end soon and the helpline will be closed.
Sri Ram Sene South India coordinator Sundaresh Naregal said that the helpline is facing several challenges like logistics, funding and legal problems. All those who claim to be Hindutva leaders do not send their children for protests and agitations. Ordinary activists like us are left to fend for ourselves.
Helpline coordinator Basavaraj Goudar said that Sri Ram Sene activists face several problems in battling Love Jihad incidents. Police do not cooperate at all times. Several times, the girls are brainwashed. However, 'we have succeeded in battling all such problems,' he said.

‘When Ravan crossed…': Op Sindoor debate in Lok Sabha today, parliamentary affairs minister invokes Ramayan
Ahead of the debate on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday invoked the Hindu epic Ramayana to describe the Indian action on Pakistan. Union minister Kiren Rijiju at a function in New Delhi, Saturday, July 26.(PTI) 'When Ravan crossed the Laxman Rekha, Lanka burned. When Pakistan crossed the red lines drawn by India, terrorist camps faced the fire!' Rijiju, the minister for parliamentary affairs, posted on X. The BJP leader's post came just about two hours before India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, was set to come up for a debate in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing monsoon session. With it, he posted a song, in Kailash Kher's voice, with lyrics saying the operation was for India's 'aan, baan, swabhimaan' (dignity, pride, self-respect). The one-minute clip begins with a line by PM Narendra Modi in Hindi, dedicating Operation Sindoor to 'every mother, sister and daughter of the country'. Also read | NCERT to unveil two special modules on Operation Sindoor Sixteen hours have been earmarked for the special debate in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The Rajya Sabha will have a debate for a similar duration on Tuesday, July 29. Live | Parliament monsoon session: Debate on Operation Sindoor The Opposition had been seeking this debate — even a special session of Parliament — on the operation, and the diplomacy around it, ever since the military action took place in May. It was a response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22 that claimed 26 lives, mostly of them. While the opposition has underlined its 'full support to the operation in national interest', pointed questions have been asked about US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he got the ceasefire done — 'stopped a potential nuclear war' — by using trade as a stick for both India and Pakistan. Indian officials have maintained that the country does not take decisions on foreign cues. The debate was agreed to after the monsoon session, which began on July 21, saw a week of disruptions by the Congress and other opposition parties. Now, key leaders from both the ruling NDA led by the BJP and the Opposition are set to participate. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to open the debate in the Lok Sabha. Union home minister Amit Shah, external affairs minister S Jaishankar, and BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and Nishikant Dubey are also expected to speak, PTI said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to intervene in the Lok Sabha debate and may do the same in the Rajya Sabha as well.

Forget Ghaziabad's fake embassy, you can even build a country of your own

'Pahalgam terrorists are still at large': Priyanka Chaturvedi raises concerns over intelligence gaps, Pakistan ties
Ahead of the scheduled debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor , Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi raised questions about the effectiveness of India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack , a military action taken by India against Pakistan-backed terrorists. Chaturvedi pointed out that despite various measures taken by the government, including banning terrorist channels and social media accounts, the four terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack remain at large.

Why didn't we become more alert after Asim Munir's speech, which occurred right before the Pahalgam attack? People were killed after asking about their religion. They wanted polarisation in India, but the people of India acted smartly and united against this propaganda." Chaturvedi was referring to a statement made by Asim Munir at the Convention for Overseas Pakistanis event, who had said that India and Pakistan differ in every conceivable aspect, including religions, customs, traditions, thoughts and ambitions, reinforcing the Two-Nation Theory that led to Pakistan's creation in 1947. Live Events Munir, invoking the 'two-nation theory', which was responsible for the creation of Pakistan back in 1947, asked the Pakistcitizens to teach their children the difference between Hindus and Muslims, which was the basis for the creation of the Islamic Republic. Munir was elevated to the position of Field Marshal after falsely proclaiming "victory" in the recent India-Pakistan conflict. He is the de facto ruler of the country, while the civilian government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is little more than a puppet regime, designed to be subservient to the Army. While highlighting the series measures taken by India in the aftermath of the attack including suspension of the Indus Water Treaty , ban on Pakistan-based media channels, influencer accounts, and cricketers, and halting of bilateral trade and diplomatic talks, Chaturvedi criticised the government's decision to normalize relations with Pakistan, citing the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Chaturvedi noted that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) had stated that Operation Sindoor is still ongoing, implying that the operation's objectives have not been fully achieved. She said "We put the Indus Water Treaty on abeyance. The CDS said that Operation Sindoor is still in operation mode. We banned their channels, their influencer accounts, and imposed a ban on their cricketers who used foul language and displayed objectionable cartoons about Operation Sindoor. Additionally, we banned trade and talks with them. We sent multiparty delegations out in the world, but those four terrorists are still at large. We haven't found them yet." Chaturvedi expressed concerns that normalising relations with Pakistan could be against India's interests, given the country's history of sponsoring terrorism "Most importantly, they are trying to normalise the relationship. If India and Pakistan play a cricket match against each other anywhere in the world, it will be against the interests of the country," Chaturvedi said. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Meanwhile, a fiery debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor is expected to unfold in Parliament between top leaders from the ruling alliance and the Opposition, as the Lok Sabha is set to hold a special discussion on the Operation today.
