th February this year. They have also been demanding that Muslims should not be allowed to read ‘namaz’ on that day in ‘Bhojshala’. His elder brother has already been arrested. Police not only arrested Navalkishore Sharma but they even beat him up brutally.
(In Hindu Rashtra, stringent action will be taken against such cruel Police who are oppressing innocent Hindus ! – Editor SP) Police have claimed that Mr. Navalkishore Sharma had a gun and a bullet.
(Hindu activists have been holding agitations for the past so many days, in lawful manner. Will they carry guns ? Can it not be a ploy hatched by police on the instructions of BJP Govt. to arrest pro-Hindu activists under false charges? Hindus must realize that it is the conspiracy of BJP Govt. to crush their agitation ! – Editor SP)
Navalkishore Sharma injured in police beating has been admitted to hospital !
Navalkishore Sharma has been injured in police beating and has been admitted to a hospital. Hundreds of activists had gathered outside the hospital to meet Mr. Sharma; but police kept tight security and stopped them from meeting.
Instructions for District Coordinators of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Hindus’ should get a right to perform ‘puja’ in ‘Bhojshala’ on the day of Vasant-Panchami; for this, protest against BJP Govt. in every district !
For the last few days, Hindus have been trying to gain right, in lawful manner, for performing ‘puja’ on ‘Vasant-Panchami’ in ‘Bhojshala’ instead of Muslims reading ‘namaz’; but BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh has paid no heed. As a result, Saints and pro-Hindu activists have now taken an aggressive stand of staging agitations. BJP Government has imposed curfew in Dhar District to crush this agitation. This stance of BJP Government should be condemned in every district of this country. Non-Hindus immediately unite when their religious sentiments are hurt and raise their voice. Now, even Hindus need to come together and register their protest immediately against injustice meted out to them. Activists of HJS should, therefore, stage agitation in every district, along with pro-Hindu organizations that hold similar views like HJS, to register protest. As far as possible, such protests/agitations should be staged in front of BJP’s offices and the office-bearers of BJP should be taken to task on this issue. The banner, in Hindi, required for this agitation and handbill are made available on the usual web-address and on HJS Website

Bhojshala : Political parties should not speak on Bhojshala issue, says BJP
February 11, 2013
First BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh should clear its stand on the issue of Bhojshala. In 2003, BJP delegation was saying 'From evidences, it is clear that Bhojshala is a Hindu Temple and it should handed over to Hindus.' Now this same BJP is not allowing Hindus to enter in Bhojshala to perform puja of Mata Saraswati even on the day of Vasant Panchami.
Indore (Madhya Pradesh) : Madhya Pradesh BJP president Narendra Singh Tomar on Monday said political parties should refrain from speaking on the issue of Bhojshala as the state government and local administration were working towards a "successful solution" on it.
"Bhojshala is a very sensitive issue and related to law and order situation. This is an issue between the public and the state government," Tomar told reporters here.
"Political parties should refrain from speaking on it, in the interest of the society. Our organisation will not comment on it. I am sure the state government and district administration are trying their best to resolve the impasse, and I am hopeful that they would succeed in maintaining peace (at Bhojshala) on February 15," he said.
Last week, Maharaja Bhoj Utsav Samiti president Ashok Jain had said that they would perform prayers at the complex the whole day on Basant Panchami, on February 15.
Jain said they have already given their programme schedule to the administration in this regard.
The Samiti had also protested the barricading at the complex.
Over 25,000 devotees would participate in the day-long prayers at the site, Jain had told a press conference after police put up a temporary security cover in the area.
Coincidentally, Basant Panchami and the Friday Jumma Namaz this year are falling on the same day--February 15.
Routinely, every Tuesday Hindus offer prayers at Bhojshala while Muslims offer Namaz every Friday.
During the Basant Panchami festival, Hindus are allowed to perform puja at the monument the whole day.
The above arrangement was made following regular disputes between the two communities over the issue of ownership of the monument.
Meanwhile, when asked about the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) action against suspected RSS activists in Malwa region recently, Tomar said any investigating agency, whether of the state or the Centre, if used for political mileage then it was deplorable and against the democratic values of the nation.
Bhojshala : Security tightened at Saraswati Temple complex for Basant Panchami
February 11, 2013
Bhojshala, Dhar (Madhya Pradesh) : Ahead of the Basant Panchami celebrations on February 15, Dhar district administration has made elaborate security arrangements to prevent any untoward incident at the Bhojshala complex, which is home to a Saraswati temple and Kamal Maula Mosque.
(HIndus, please note that Bhojshala complex is only home to Saraswati Temple. Muslim invaders encroached Temple space and built Kamal Moulana Mosque ! To see proofs, click here ! )
The security arrangement has been made in view of the fact that Basant Panchami and the Friday Jumma Namaz are falling on the same date.
"We are on alert as Basant Panchami is falling on Friday. We are discussing with both sides and we received some suggestions in this regard. We hope that the solution will come soon," District Collector CB Singh said.
Adequate police force would be deployed for the Bhojshala function, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Praveen Mathur said.
Three hundred Special Armed Force (SAF) jawans have already reached here. Six more companies of SAF would come here by February 8. Besides, 25 more companies of Rapid Action Force, CRPF, SAF and tear-gas trained force would reach here by February 10 to be deployed at Bhojshala on that day, Mathur said.
Peace meetings were also being held in the city in view of the festival. Madhya Pradesh Women and Child Development Minister Ranjana Baghel held a meeting with administrative officials on Thursday in this regard.
Both the functions would be held peacefully on that day, Shahar Qazi, Waqar Sadik said.
Maharaja Bhoj Utsav Samiti president Ashok Jain said they would perform prayers at the complex for the whole day on Basant Panchami.
Jain said they had already given their programme schedule to the administration.
Notably, the usual practice here is that every Tuesday Hindus offer prayers at Bhojshala while Muslims offer Namaz every Friday. During Basant Panchami, Hindus are allowed to perform puja at the monument the whole day. The arrangement was made following regular disputes between the two communities over the issue of ownership of the monument.

VHP deviating the issue of offering Namaz in Bhojshala
February 11, 2013
Prayagaraj (UP) : “If Vishva Hindu Parishad sincerely respects religious sentiments of Hindus, it will present the issue of the temple of Shri Saraswati Devi in Dharma Sansad on its own. This issue was overlooked even in the meeting of Central Guidance Committee of Vishva Hindu Parishad held on a day prior to Dharma Sansad. The BJP Government in M.P. has turned the temple of Shri Saraswati Devi into a military camp.” Such a strong criticism was made by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatin Giriji Maharaj against Vishva Hindu Parishad while speaking in the press conference organised in His Ashram, in Kumbh city. He insisted that the topic of Shri Sarswati temple in Bhojshala be brought for discussion in the Dharma Sansad organised by Vishva Hindu Parishad.
(Two days have passed since the start of Dharma Sansad, but Vishva Hindu Parishad has not initiated any discussions on the issue of Bhojshala nor expressed any reaction over it. If VHP maintains silence over the issue on coming days, VHP will have to accept the charge by Hindus that the mantle of Hindutva donned by VHP is a deceit ! – Editor SP)
VHP should take cognizance of sentiments of Hindus ! – Pujya (Dr.) Charudatta Pingle
National Guide of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti Pujya (Dr.) Charudatta Pingle said, ““The BJP Government in M.P. is granting permission to Muslims to offer Namaz in the temple of Shri Saraswati Devi in order to appease them. Congress government in the Centre is also making efforts to appease Muslims. This temple is under the jurisdiction of Archaeological Dept. of the Union government. Therefore, even the Congress government can take a decision as to who should be allowed to make use of the temple. However, the Congress government has purposefully maintained a studied silence over the issue.
(Hindus, beware that BJP Government in M.P. claiming that the temple is under the jurisdiction of Archaeological Dept. of the Union government gives permission to Muslims to offer Namaz ! – Editor SP) On this issue, Shrikashisumeru Pithadhishwar Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Narendranand Saraswati has warned that Hindus should be given permission to perform worship in the temple of Shri Saraswati Devi, on the day of Vasant Panchami falling on 15
th February; otherwise the situation would take a serious turn. The government should take a serious note of this warning and take a decision in the interest of Hindus. Similarly, Vishva Hindu Parishad should also respect the sentiments of Hindus.”
Highlight : On this occasion, Swami Madhavanand Maharaj told Mr. Navalkishor Sharma, “Many Saints in Kumbh Mela are ready to proceed towards Bhojshala on Vasant Panchami.”
