In a major development concerning the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute in Mathura, the saint community has made a significant announcement regarding the construction of the temple. During a gathering held at the Chitragupta Peeth on Sunday, prominent sadhus and saints collectively reiterated their resolve for the liberation and construction of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple. The most striking part of this gathering was the formal declaration of a Kar Seva, which is scheduled to take place on December 6. The saints present at the occasion emphasized that this move is a step toward fulfilling the long-standing demand for a grand temple at the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Demands for Legal Expediency and Legislative Changes
The program organized at Chitragupta Peeth served as a platform for the saints to discuss their future strategies regarding the ongoing legal battles over the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi. A primary demand raised during the meeting was the immediate abolition of the Waqf Act, which the saints believe is a hurdle in the resolution of such disputes. Plus, the saint community expressed the need for the establishment of a Fast Track Court specifically to handle cases related to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura, while they argued that the legal proceedings have been lingering for a long time and requested the judiciary to conduct daily hearings to ensure a swift and final legal resolution to the controversy.
Preparations for the Proposed Kar Seva
The announcement of the Kar Seva on December 6 has generated a wave of enthusiasm among the followers and the saint community. The gathering at Chitragupta Peeth saw a large turnout of sadhus, saints, and devotees who pledged their support for the cause. The organizers claimed that the proposed Kar Seva would witness participation from a massive number of saints and pilgrims from across the country. In the coming days, the saint community plans to undertake extensive preparations to mobilize people and extend invitations to various religious leaders and organizations nationwide to join the program in Mathura.
Administrative Restrictions and Police Response
In response to the calls for Kar Seva and the proposed Shankhnaad program, the Mathura district administration has taken a firm stand to maintain law and order. Citing the directives of the Supreme Court and the Allahabad High Court, the administration has prohibited the commencement of any new religious traditions or illegal activities at the disputed site. Police officials confirmed on Sunday that strict measures are being implemented in Govardhan and surrounding areas to prevent any unauthorized gatherings or rituals that deviate from established practices.
Official Statement from Mathura Police
City SP Rajiv Kumar Singh issued a video message clarifying the administration's position on the matter, while he stated that according to the clear instructions from the Supreme Court and the Allahabad High Court, no new traditions are allowed to be started within the district. He noted that those who announced the Kar Seva for the temple construction had called upon prominent figures and saints to participate in a Shankhnaad program. However, the police are actively working to intercept individuals heading toward the site and are directing them back to their respective police station areas. Singh further mentioned that all concerned organizations and individuals have been formally briefed about the court's orders, and they've provided assurances that they will comply with the judicial directives.
