NCP chief Sharad Pawar received an invitation to attend the pran pratishtha ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22. The NCP supremo responded to the invitation stating that he will skip the consecration event, but will come for darshan after Jan 22.

Sharad Pawar wrote a letter to General Secretary of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Champat Rai. He also took a veiled dig at the centre stating that he’ll be visiting the temple after the construction work is completed.

Pawar Takes A Dig At Centre

The letter written by the NCP chief reads, “After the pran pratistha ceremony is completed on January 22, I will freely take out time and come for darshan and by then the construction work of Ram temple will also be completed.”

All 4 Shankaracharyas To Skip Consecration Event

Sharad Pawar’s decision to visit temple after the construction is completed, comes after a recent statement made by the religious heads of the Hindu community that the event is being held against the shastras as the construction is incomplete. Recently, the pontiff of Puri’s Govardhan Mutt’s decision to abstain from the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration ceremony on January 22 was followed by the announcement from Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, the 46th Shankaracharya of Uttarakhand’s Jyotir Mutt, that none of the four Shankaracharya will attend the event.

Violation of Shastras & Temple Construction

Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati emphasized that the decision stems from the perceived violation of sacred Hindu scriptures, the “shastras.” He pointed to the incomplete status of the temple construction as a crucial factor leading to the shankaracharyas’ decision to abstain from the ceremony.

In a video shared on X handle (formerly Twitter), Avimukteshwaranand clarified that their choice is not “anti-Modi.” Instead, it is rooted in the duty of shankaracharyas to uphold the rituals of the shastras. The decision reflects a commitment to shastra-vidhi, the prescribed rituals, rather than being perceived as an opposition to any political figure.

The Shankaracharya highlighted a key concern, stating that the consecration (pran pratishtha) is taking place while the temple remains incomplete. He asserted that their stance is not against any individual but is a principled stand to ensure the adherence to shastra-vidhi. The video aimed to clarify that the decision is based on religious principles rather than any political bias.

Sameer Wankhede targeted in The Baddest of Bollywood; Delhi High Court orders removal of objectionable content from controversial series in defamation case

Published

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
