Reverberations of IBN Lokmat Wagle’s anti-Hindu statement felt in Goa Assembly

February 2, 2011

Poush Amawasya, Kaliyug Varsha 5112

Panaji (Goa): The Editor of IBN Lokmat is not accepting the incidents of attack on Hindu temples in Goa. Police have not yet nabbed the culprits in these cases. The temples have not been provided with security, stated Mr. Damodar Naik , a BJP MLA while presenting his views on the address of the Governor.

MLA Mr. Naik said, “Today, the Government and the police are advising the trustees against keeping gold in the temples.” Keeping gold in the temples is a matter of sentiments for the people. This gold is not an income of the temples. It is used in the religious festivals celebrated by the temple. Today, the Government which is advising against offering gold in the temples, may, tomorrow, advise against keeping gold even at home or keep security staff to guard the gold at home. Governor Dr. Siddhu said in his address that everything was fine in Goa which is wrong. Corruption is rampant in the State. There is high corruption in Public and Works Department. The figures,  presented by the Governor to show that the law and order situation in the State was good, were misleading. Traffic police are harassing citizens.” 

Important points are missed out in Governor’s address – Members of Opposition Parties

The speech given by the Governor should have touched upon most of the issues; but it was not so. The law and order is completely bad. There is increase in incidents of theft in temples. Crimes committed at tourist places are also on the rise. This has maligned the name of Goa at national and international levels. The connection between police, drug-traffickers and the politicians needs to be verified. There is rampant corruption in many departments like Animal husbandry and Cooperation etc.  There is black marketeering of kerosene and rice grains. Unauthorized  mines are  flourishing endangering natural water resources. All such, about 28 points should have been included by the Governor in his speech.  The above points were presented in the Legislative Assembly by the Opposition leaders Mr. Manohar Parrikar, advocate Francis D’Souza, Mr. Vasudev Gaokar, Mr. Anant Shet and Mr. Dilip Parulekar.

Khed (Dist. Ratnagiri, Maharashtra)
: IBN Lokmat’s editor Nikhil Wagle has, till now, showed only hatred towards Hindu Dharma and Hindus. There are many people like Wagle who are thriving like parasites on the tree of Hindu Dharma. They should be eliminated through a fight at thought level. Hindus from all over the State of Maharashtra should boycott IBN Lokmat to stop the nonsense of the so-called secularists. The above appeal was made by Mr. Suresh Lad, a member of Zilha-parishad when he addressed the demonstrators agitating against IBN Lokmat at Hutatma Anant Kanhere Chowk.

HJS member admonishes Anti-Hindu IBN-Lokmat's Wagle

Wagle’s bullying continues

Furious Nikhil Wagle while taking his Anti-Hindu stand in the program
Furious Nikhil Wagle while taking his Anti-Hindu stand in the program

In the program ‘Aaj chaa Sawaal’ telecast on 21st January, Mr. Nikhil Wagle, the editor of IBN Lokmat accused Sanatan Sanstha of telling lies about temples damaged in Goa and he tried to suppress voice of Hinduism. As a mark of protest against the insult of all devout Hindus and Sanatan Sanstha, Mr. Abhay Vartak, the spokesperson of Sanatan Sanstha left the program in between. Devout Hindus and pro-Hindu organizations have been registering protest against this incident through different media. Mrs. Varsha Thakar, a member of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) contacted Mr. Wagle in this regard when Wagle talked to her very arrogantly.

The conversation that took place between them is given below.

Mrs. Thakar : On what basis are you claiming that the incidents which took place in Goa are not true? In ‘Lokmat’ newspaper also the news in this regard has been published.
Wagle : We have made enquiry with the police. These were all incidents of theft.
Mrs. Thakar : Why would thieves damage the idols?
Wagle (angrily): Your people are constantly calling me up and harassing. (This was said by him every now and then.)
Wagle : Organisation like yours, are exploding bombs and creating disharmony in society. (None of the judicial / investigation systems or the police have said that Sanatan Sanstha was involved in bomb blast case ! – Editor SP) They should be banished. ‘Sanatan Prabhat’ is spreading venom of hatred in society which leads to communal disharmony.
Mrs. Thakar : ‘Sanatan Prabaht’ always tells the truth. If you call truth as venom, we cannot do anything in the matter. In fact, you are spreading totally false news. Whom do you represent as a mouth-piece? Change the name to now ‘IBN- Congress-I’.
Wagle : Our phones have been tapped by the police. Whatever you are talking is being recorded.
Mrs. Thakar : If that is so, it is very good. Let the police also know what is the truth. Police are not doing their duty properly; therefore, we, common citizens, have to do this.

Hindu-hater editor of IBN Lokmat Mr. Nikhil Wagle accuses Sanatan Sanstha of presenting fake proofs instead of studying and verifying the same for its authenticity and tries to save his skin

Mr. Abhay Vartak had given information about these incidents to IBN Lokmat when he had taken part in a program held by that channel on 9th September 2010. On 12th September 2010, he collected all proofs and gave them to Wagle; but Wagle had not informed Mr. Vartak anything about the proofs till the above program was telecast on 21st January 2011. When Mr. Vartak again raised the issue of idol-breaking cases in Goa during the discussions, Mr. Wagle took a stance that the proofs were false and prepared using ‘photo-trick’ technique.

Ratnagiri (Maharashtra):
It has been the practice of Nikhil Wagle to invite representatives of Hindus in his program to increase TRP and when they start telling truth, to suppress their voice. He deserves to be punished, as Saint Tukaram Maharaj has said, by beating him with shoes. Wagle is a perversion in journalism, criticized Mr. Mukund Joshi, the District Vice-president of BJP. He was speaking during the demonstrations held near ‘Jaya-stambh’. Strong protests were registered against Wagle by devout Hindu demonstrators. There were more than 175 workers of Shiv Sena, BJP, BJP-Youth wing, Sree Sampradaya, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Sanatan Sanstha.

Agitation by ‘Gomantak Mandir Mahasangha’ against IBN Lokmat : 450 devout Hindus take part

Panji: GMDSM members and Hindus agitating against Anti-Hindu Nikhil Wagle & IBN-Lokmat
Panji: GMDSM members and Hindus agitating against Anti-Hindu Nikhil Wagle & IBN-Lokmat

Panaji (Goa):
‘Gomantak Mandir and Dharmik Sanstha Mahasangha (GMDSM)’ organized demonstrations at Kadamb Bus-stand near Maruti Mandir at Panaji demanding boycott on IBN Lokmat for accusing citizens of Goa as liars. The trustees and devout Hindus expressed their displeasure by throwing shoes at the photograph of Mr. Wagle, the anti-Hindu editor of IBN Lokmat. About 450 devout Hindus participated in the demonstrations. Slogans were raised like ‘Dhikkar aso, dhikkar aso, IBN Lokmat cha dhikkar aso (Condemn Wagle); ‘Khotarda kon, Wagle shivaay aankhi kon (Who is the liar?, only Wagle, who else)’; ‘Banda karaa, banda karaa, IBN Lokmat banda karaa (close down IBN Lokmat)’.

It is a fact that in Goa more than 50 idols have been damaged from 35 temples in the past 6 years; even then Mr. Wagle alleged that the statement made by Mr. Vartak about damaging of idols in temples at Goa, was a lie. This has hurt religious sentiments of Hindus from Goa; therefore, GMDSM staged the demonstrations. The beginning of demonstrations was made by breaking of a coconut by Mr. Chandrakant (Bhai) Pandit, the President of GMDSM when Mr. Rajkumar Desai its Vice-president, Mr. Jayesh Thali, its coordinator, Mr. Abhay vartak, the spokesperson of Sanatan Sanstha, Mr. Niranjan Chodankar, the State coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti for Goa were also present. Mrs. Rajashree Gadekar, a devout Hindu explained the purpose of staging demonstrations. Trustees of various temples also participated in the demonstrations.

‘Mahasangh’ to appeal boycott on IBN Lokmat in every temple from all villages ! – Mr. Jayesh Thali

Mr. Jayesh Thali, the coordinator of GMDSM said, “The incident has proved that Mr. Wagle is anti-Hindu.It also indicated that wrong news are telecast by IBN Lokmat. This has also slapped those who brand Hindus as terrorists because despite such anti-Hindu statements made by Wagle, the agitation is being carried out in peaceful and lawful manner without any kind of violence. The agitation will be now intensified and appeal will be made from every temple in every village to boycott the said channel.

Ask Wagle for an explanation that why is he supporting sinful idol-breakers !– Mr. Abhay Vartak

It is the duty of a journalist to bring cases of injustice to light; but journalists like Wagle who brag about 30 years of experience in journalism, do not accept the truth of idols being damaged; therefore, he should be asked as to why is he backing idol-breakers. The agitation is a spark of opposition against demonic Wagle and till he renders apology, the agitation will be intensified.

Wagle has accused ‘Lokmat’ newspaper as a liar; action needs to be taken against him ! – Mr. Rajkumar Desai

The Goa edition of ‘Lokmat’ newspaper dated 2nd January 2011, had published, on a full page, the news about breaking of idol cases in Goa; but Wagle has proved this news as false. ‘Dainik Lokmat’ should take action against Wagle.

IBN Lokmat does not present views of people (lok) but presents only self opinion ! – Mr. Govind Chodankar

The meaning of the word ‘Lokmat’ is in fact, to present people’s views or their feelings; but Wagle of IBN Lokmat presents only his views.

Yesterday, devout Hindus registered their protest by staging agitations in Dharmaveer Sambhaji Maharaj Chowk.

An appeal was also made to boycott anti-Hindu IBN Lokmat channel for suppressing the voice of Hindus. His effigy was garlanded with old foot- wares in the presence of about 70 devout Hindus.

Condemn unrighteous Nikhil Wagle – Mr. Shivaji Gaundadkar, Editor ‘Rashtra-parva’

Nikhil Wagle is concerned only about increasing TRP of his channel and for that, he always talks against pro-Hindus. The treatment given to Mr. Vartak shows that Hindu-hatred is filled in his every cell of the body. I openly condemn Mr. Nikhil Wagle.

False accusations will not be tolerated – Pujya Shri. Narayan Sharanaru, Sree Ambamata Devsthanam, Vaderatti

Hindus and Hindu Dharma are repressed in various manner today; even then Wagle refused to accept it and made false accusations against Sanatan Sanstha. We will not tolerate any false accusations and Hindus should fight against it with unity.

Panvel : Nikhil Wagle and his hooligan reporters tried to suppress not only our voice but voice of all Hindus in their program and the press conference held by us. Barring few, today, journalism is used to serve the ruling parties. The media which created so much of noise when one Babri mosque was demolished, is keeping quiet when more than 50 idols have been damaged in 50 temples. Is this called secularism? Today’s demonstrations are only a spark. The fire of this lawful agitation will spread all over India. Hindus will not get justice till Hindu Nation is established, stated Mr. Abhay Vartak, the spokesperson of Sanatan Sanstha when he addressed the demonstrators near Panvel Station.

Hideous attempt to suppress Truth

Mr. Makarand Desai of RSS said, “Hindus must teach a lesson to anti-Hindus like Wagle in his language of TRP by boycotting IBN Lokmat channel.” Mr. Nanda Oze of RSS said, “It is the beginning of Hindu unity for teaching a lesson to anti-Hindu reporters.” Mr. Yashwant Bhagat, the Dy. city-chief of Shiv Sena said, “It is a hideous attempt by Wagle to suppress the Truth.” More than 100 workers of Shiv Sena and Sanatan Sanstha were present along with Mr. Babandada Patil, the District-chief of Shiv Sena.

IBN-Lokmat issue : GMDSM to agitate on 28 Jan in Panaji, Goa

January 25, 2011

Poush Krushna Shashthi, Kaliyug Varsha 5112

From Our Correspondent

Panaji (Goa): Denying the reality that 50 incidents of Idol desecration has taken place in Goa in the last 6 years editor of ‘IBN- Lokmat’ Nikhil Wagle made an outrageous remark that ‘It is absolutely false that there have been attacks on Hindu temples in Goa’,  in a programme ‘Aajachaa sawaal’ , telecast on their news channel on 21st January. Thereby he has hurt the pride of Goans. Gomantak Mandir and Dhaarmik Sanstha Mahasangh (GMDSM) will held demonstration at Panaji near Sree Maruti Mandir at KTC Bus stand on 28th January at 3.30 p.m. in order to oppose this Anti-Hindu act of Editor Wagle

Editor Wagle has insulted all the devotees of Goa by stating that there had been no attacks on temples in Goa. He has hurt the feelings of devotees. This is an infuriating act to suppressing the voice of Goans. Such an act of Wagle shows how the religious feelings of hindus are being scornfully ignored by the secular media. This kind of act can disturb social peace; hence this should not be repeated. Hence GMDSM appeals to all the trustees and devotees of temples in Goa, Hindu Organisations, Sects, devout Hindu citizens and others to unite and oppose this anti-Hindu act. GMDSM invites all to participate in the this demonstrations.

He accused Mr. Vartak of telling lies; thus he hurt religious sentiments of Hindus. Mr. Vartak, therefore, left the program. Wagle’s anti-Hindu actions have enraged Hindus all over Maharashtra. Demonstrations were held at 7 places to register protest against Wagle viz. at Mumbai, Satara, Sangli, Sambhajinagar, Jalgaon, Sindhudurga and Pandharpur.

GMDSM submits memorandums to ‘IBN Lokmat’ Editor Nikhil Wagle and Goa CM

January 24, 2011

Poush Krushna Panchami, Kaliyug Varsha 5112

Panaji (Goa): Editor of ‘IBN Lokmat’ news channel Nikhil Wagle has hurt the pride of Goans by making an outrageous remark that Idol desecration has not taken place in Goa. Gomantak Mandir and Dhaarmik Sanstha Mahasangh (GMDSM) had submitted a memorandum yesterday to the Editor Nikhil Wagle demanding a public apology to Goans on this issue. In an another memorandum submitted to the Chief Minister Digambar Kamat Mahasangh has demanded that he should warn the Editor of ‘IBN Lokmat’ in this regard.

The memorandum forwarded to Editor Wagle states that Gomantak is known as a land of temples. The Goans have saves their temples risking their lives during the tyrannical regime of Portuguese. Despite living in slavery for 450 years Goans have retained the heritage of temples. As a matter of fact more than 50 Idols have been desecrated in the last 6 years. Taking the seriousness of these incidents into account the Goa Government has formed a ‘Special Investigation team’ in 2008 to put the culprits behind bars. But still culprits were not booked the Goans tried to awaken the Government through ‘Goa Band’ agitation, by holding ‘Devasthan Sanrakshan Mahasammelan’, staging morcha on Goa Assembly, etc. Yet ignoring this reality Editor Wagle has expressed his anti-Hindu attitude by making such outrageous remark. This is an insult to all devotees in Goa. This statement has really hurt their feelings. This act of suppressing Goan voice like this is very infuriating. In fact the media in Goa has given due publicity to the repulsive chain of Idol desecration in the state.

It was expected from the neighbouring state of Maharashtra to give such a publicity to the said incidents. If there happens to be an incident in relation to any other faith then its news is published on National level; but ‘why should there not be a discussion programme on the issue of temples in Goa on ‘IBN Lokmat’ channel’ is a question that comes to the mind. If Editor Wagle does not apologise to Goans regarding this issue till 26th January, there will be a severe agitation. A ‘call’ will be given through each and every temple and at all other levels to ban the ‘IBN Lokmat’ channel, was the warning given by the Mahasangh in a memorandum. The memorandum given to the Chief Minister Digambar Kamat states that as this was an issue connected to the pride of Goans and he should regard  it seriously by  forcing  Editor Wagle to apologise. Date wise lists of the incidents of Idol desecration in Goa and the main incidents of opposing the desecration have been attached to both the memorandums.

A slap to Wagle for accusing Sanatan Sanstha of telling lies !

Mr. Abhay Vartak in the middle of all Journalists
Mr. Abhay Vartak in the middle of all Journalists

Mumbai: Mr. Abhay Vartak, the spokesperson of Sanatan Sanstha held a press conference of Marathi journalists and presented the true position before them. Thus, he showed that by dictating terms or raising one’s voice, one cannot hide truth and Wagle should remain within the limits of being a news reporter. A reporter of IBN Lokmat news channel, however, tried to foil the press conference. (IBN Lokmat channel and its reporters, who are trying to suppress the voice of Hindus from all sides, are a blot on the fourth pillar of democracy. All journalists should boycott such reporters who try to block truth under the name of reporting truth ! – Editor SP)

Nikhil Wagle, news reporter of IBN Lokmat insulted Sanatan Sanstha during the discussion program titled ‘Aaj chaa Sawaal’ held on that channel on Friday in which a question was posed before the viewers that ‘whether the life imprisonment sentenced to Dara Singh was appropriate?’ Wagle tried to suppress Mr. Vartak who was trying to put forth the truth. Wagle accused him of misusing the media, presenting false proofs and causing communal disharmony. Mr. Vartak held the press conference to refute the charges made by Wagle and keep the truth before the media. Mr. Vartak explained in the beginning of the press conference that it was not held against the media but was to oppose the suppression tactics used against attacks on Hindus by persons like Wagle. Thereafter, VCD of the above program was shown to the journalists who saw it with lot of interest. Then, Mr. Vartak showed the photographs of damaged idols to the journalists, photographers and representatives of news channels.

“Wagle said that the incidents have occurred with the intention of stealing; but why can he not understand that idols would not have been damaged by thieves. Sanatan Sanstha has never tried to inflame sentiments on the subject or resorted to riots; but it has continuously demanded that the culprits should be nabbed. Even then on what basis, Wagle is accusing Sanatan of inflaming religious sentiments?, asked Mr. Vartak.

He said, “Hindus perform ‘puja’ of these idols every day which creates religious sentiments towards the idols. The incidents of breaking of idols have hurt religious sentiments of Hindus. Instead of taking note of sentiments of Hindus, Wagle tried to insult Sanatan Sanstha.”

Photographs of damaged temples in Goa and copies of papers presented in the Legislative Assembly were made available to the journalists. The press conference was attended by 25 journalists.

Deliberate attempts to foil the press conference by reporters of Wagle exhibiting similar trend of suppression

Mr. Abhay Vartak started showing proofs regarding damage caused to temples. Suddenly, two reporters from IBN Lokmat, Ameya Tirodkar and Sudhakar Kamble got up and started saying that Mr. Vartak should not make personal accusations against a big editor. He should not insult the editor. (This is like a thief starts shouting ‘theft’, ‘theft’ after stealing. How can such reporters be ever impartial? – Editor SP) They tried to foil the press conference. (To hide its lack of transparency, IBN Lokmat tried to foil the press conference. Is it in line with their claim of putting forth the ‘truth’? – Editor SP) Mr. Nityanand Bhise, a reporter of ‘Dainik Sanatan Prabhat’ told them, “Only the two of you are opposing but others want to listen. In case you do not want to listen, you can go out.” After this, they kept quiet for a while but again started disturbing. Kamble tried to incite other journalists; but Mr. Sanket Satoke of ‘Mumbai Tarun Bharat’ admonished him in strong words. He told them, “If you do not want to listen, please leave. We want to listen. Vartakji, please carry on. We support Sanatan Sanstha.” (Congratulations to Mr. Sanket Satoke of ‘Mumbai Tarun Bharat’ for stopping dictatorship of ‘IBN Lokmat’s reporters so  boldly ! – Editor SP).

Since nobody even moved from their place, Kamble again started his pressure tactics and continued his talk. When he realized that none of the reporters was ready to leave, he picked up microphones of 7 TV news channels and forced reporters to leave using senior position held by the said channel in journalism. He put pressure on reporters of TV channels. (This is nothing but hooliganism of reporters of IBN Lokmat by forcing reporters to leave the press conference misusing their position, snatching the microphones etc. It is most shameful and a blot on the field of journalism to have such reporters ! – Editor SP)

After this also, he tried to create disturbance by lifting the microphones when Shri Vartak quietly requested them to stop creating disturbance and leave. He told reporters that whoever wanted to leave, could leave and rest could attend. Few reporters from news channels (electronic media) left due to Kamble’s hooliganism. (It showed that there are reporters among Hindus who have forgotten their identity. How can such reporters be the fourth pillar of democracy and take care of interest of Hindus ! – Editor SP) In this situation also, a reporter from ‘Saam Marathi’ channel showed boldness and compiled the news till the end. All reporters from newspapers (Print media) attended till the end.

Conspiracy of news channels to suppress Hindu voice will not be tolerated ! – Mr. Vartak

Lastly Mr. Vartak said, “The proofs presented by us are true. We openly challenge IBN Lokmat either to prove that our proofs are false or they openly render apology to all Hindus. The attitude of Nikhil Wagle is opposed by all strata of society. Many organizations are coming together to protest against IBN Lokmat. Today, Mandir Mahasangh of Goa held press conference to condemn IBN Lokmat. We have proved transparency by presenting proofs. Some people are trying to suppress news about incidents of conversions, damaging of idols etc. hatching conspiracy. Sanatan Sanstha will not keep quiet.”

Do not make the mistake of underestimating Hindu power – Hindu Swabhiman Pratishthan

Issue about IBN Lokmat channel suppressing Hindu voice

Do not make the mistake of underestimating Hindu power – Hindu Swabhiman Pratishthan

Around 200 devout Hindus participated in protest against IBN Lokmat at Pimpri, Pune
Around 200 devout Hindus participated in protest against IBN Lokmat at Pimpri, Pune

Pimpri (Dist. Pune, Maharashtra): The main people behind the unrighteous, who are insulting Hindus, are different. They are spreading anti-Hindu thoughts to poison the society. Nobody has the right to detest those who have faith in God. IBN Lokmat or Editor Nikhil Wagle should not underestimate Hindu power. The above frank opinion was given by Shri Uttam Dandine. Mr. Abhay Vartak of Sanatan Sanstha tried to give information about attacks on Hindu temples in Goa in a program held on IBN Lokmat channel on 21st January; but editor Wagle made a nasty attempt to suppress his voice. 200 activists of pro-Hindu organizations staged demonstrations at Ambedkar Chowk in Pimpri to protest against the same. Mr. Uttam Dandine was speaking during the demonstrations.

Mr. Anant Korhade of ‘Mangalmurti Cable Network’ and Vice-president of MNS for Chinchwad town said, “Creating disharmony is journalism according to Wagle. The definition of secularism as per Wagle and the Government is to oppose only Hindus. Mr. Mahesh Kulkarni, the general secretary of BJP said, “IBN Lokmat channel has always indulged in false propaganda against Hindu Dharma. We welcome the action taken by Mr. Abhay Vartak to uphold his self-respect. Tendency to insult Hindus needs to be stopped else Hindus will be inflamed. Pro-Hindu organizations will strongly oppose anti-Hindu activities.”

Lack of unity is the reason for throttling of Hindus by media ! – Ms. Ujwala Dhavale, Sanatan Sanstha

Miss Ujwala Dhavale of Sanatan Sanstha said, “By not taking cognizance of the proofs, IBN Lokmat tried to defame Sanatan Sanstha. Lack of unity among Hindus is the cause of throttling of Hindus by media. Such media should be boycotted by Hindus.” There were 15 policemen present on the occasion. 

Snippets

1. Mr. Anant Korhade of ‘Mangalmurti Cable Network’ showed readiness to boycott ‘IBN Lokmat’ *Mr. Parag Gokhale of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) said that IBN Lokmat should show guts to telecast news about incidents of attacks on Hindu Dharma.

Demonstrations by Sanatan Sanstha against Nikhil Wagle at Dadar

Mumbai – Today, demonstrations were held near Dadar (East) railway station to register protest against Nikhil Wagle. 35 seekers of Sanatan Sanstha took part in the demonstrations. Many people watching the demonstrations expressed their support with the Sanatan seekers. Mr. Satish Kocharekar and Mr. Sunil Kadam, the representatives of the Sanstha made an appeal to people to boycott the said channel, to call up their office to register protest and send protest letters to them. It was stated that the insult made by Wagle was not just of the Sanstha but also of religious sentiments of Hindus.

Feedback – Mr. Shailesh Chavan, Nerul : Nikhil Wagle claims to be a secular person;  but the guise of secularism worn by him is fake. He just tries to increase his popularity. Condemn him !

'IBN Lokmat's Nikhil Wagle should apologise to Hindus' : GMDSM

January 23, 2011

Poush Krushna Chaturthi, Kaliyug Varsha 5112 From Our Correspondent

From Left: Mr. Chodankar, HJS Goa Coordinator; Mr. Bhai Pandir, President, GMDSM; Mr. Jayesh Thali, GMDSM Goa state Coordinator; Mr. Marathe, Managing Trustee, Sanatan Sanstha;
Panaji (Goa): In the last 6 years 50 Idols have been desecrated in Goa of altogether 35 temples. But by denying this fact Editor of ‘IBN Lokmat’ news channel Nikhil Wagle made an outrageous remark yesterday that there have been no such incidents happened in Goa and the people are being misguided on this issue. Nikhil Wagle said this in the programme by name ‘Ajacha Sawal’ on their channel. Editor Wagle has hurt the feelings of Hindus and has tried to disturb the social peace. 

Gomantak Mandir and Dhaarmik Sanstha Mahasangh condemns editor Nikhil Wagle for making outrageous remark. Mahasangh demands that Editor Wagle should publicly apologise regarding his remark or else an agitation is bound to take place
, said Gomantak Mandir and Dhaarmik Sanstha Mahasangh Goa State coordinator Mr. Jayesh Thali in the press conference. President of Mahasangh  Mr. Chandrakant (Bhai)  Pandit, Managing Trusti of Sanatan Sanstha Mr. Virendra Marathe and Goa coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti Mr. Niranjan Chodankar also addressed the Press conference.

‘IBN Lokmat’ yesterday arranged a programme on their news channel to discuss the issue of conversions undertaken by Christian missionary Graham Stains. Abhay Vartak spokesman of Sanatan Sanstha was also invited to participate in this programme. In this programme Abhay Vartak tried to bring to the notice of Editor Wagle that no publicity is given to the incidents of attaks on Hindu Dharma e.g. incidences of desecration of Idols in Goa. Editor Wagle reacted to this by saying that this is absolutely false. Such statements are made to instigate the public. He further said that as per the reports given by the ‘Lokmat’ journalists, apart from minor robberies there have been no major incidents of Idol desecration occurred in Goa.    

Mr. Jayesh Thali said, ''The fact is more than 50 Idols have been desecrated in the last 6 years. Knowing the seriousness of the issue Goa Government formed a ‘SIT’ to nab the culprits. Despite of this the idol desecration incidences continued in the state which prompted all the Organisations in Goa to come together to form a committee. Also to condemn the idol desecration the public of Goa spontaneously came together for a historic ‘Goa Band’ agitation on 20th October 2008. This ‘Goa Band’ agitation was 100% successful. Also ‘Devasthan Sanrakshan Sammelan” was held on this issue at Campal, Panaji on 11th January 2009.  This 'Sammelan' was attended by more than 35 thousand Hindus. Thereafter, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti staged morcha on Goa Assembly on 29th July 2009 while the Assembly was in function. Also on 8th January 2011, in order to put an to end to the idol desecration incidences and other attacks on the temples 700 representatives of various temples committees came together to form the  Gomantak Mandir and Dhaarmik Sanstha Mahasangh. Despite this, Editor Nikhil Wagle by not accepting this reality, has only expressed his hatred towards Hindus.''

IBN Lokmat claims the destruction of temples to be false

January 23, 2011

Poush Krushna Chaturthi, Kaliyug Varsha 5112


IBN Lokmat tries to suppress voice of Hindus by not publishing news about idol-breaking in temples; moreover claiming that such news were not true In the past 6 years, more than 50 idols were damaged in 35 temples and incidents of robbery took place in more than 250 temples in the past 4 years. Mr. Abhay Vartak had given information about these incidents to IBN Lokmat when he had taken part in a program held by that channel on 9th September 2010. On 12th September 2010, he collected all proofs and gave them to Mr. Wagle, taking acknowledgement receipt from him; but Mr. Wagle, out of his Hindu-hatred, did not publish the same.

On 21st January 2011, in a program held on the issue of sentence given to Dara Singh by the Court, Mr. Vartak made a mention about how channels did not publish news related to Hindus giving example of proofs provided in idol-breaking cases in Goa. Wagle then claimed that the proofs were false and tried to suppress Mr. Vartak from presenting his point. This shows how the news channels suppress pro-Hindus. Hindus should boycott such mass media which refuse to say anything on various attacks on their places of worship and moreover, try to claim the proofs provided as false.

Disgraceful attempt by Wagle to suppress voice of Hinduism

January 23, 2011

Poush Krushna Chaturthi, Kaliyug Varsha 5112

Black day in the history of mass media owing to what transpires in a program ‘Aaj cha Sawaal’ on IBN Lokmat

Sanatan’s spokesperson Abhay Vartak left the program exhibiting his bravery

Mumbai (Maharashtra) : Mr. Abhay Vartak was giving information about cases of idol-breaking taking place in Goa during the discussions on a Marathi news channel IBN Lokmat; but the editor of IBN Lokmat, Mr. Nikhil Wagle tried to suppress Mr. Vartak and made false accusations against Sanatan Sanstha. Mr. Wagle claimed that the temples were not damaged by anti-Hindus and the photographs presented by Sanatan were prepared on computer using photo-trick. Thus, Mr. Wagle tried to mislead the viewers and prejudice their views about Sanatan. Mr. Vartak could not tolerate this and he boldly left the program half way registering his protest.

Mr. Abhay Vartak in 'Aaj cha Sawal' program on IBN-Lokmat channel - 2
Mr. Abhay Vartak in 'Aaj cha Sawal' program on IBN-Lokmat channel - 2

A discussion program was held on the said channel in a program titled ‘Aaj cha Sawaal’ putting up a question before the viewers- ‘Whether the sentence of life imprisonment given to Dara Singh in case of killing of Graham Steins was adequate’. Along with Mr. Abhay Vartak, Mr. Atul Bhatkhalkar, the general secretary of BJP for Mumbai, Congress spokesperson Husain Dalwai and journalist Pradip Deshpande participated in the program. Mr. Vartak and Mr. Bhatkhalkar told about Christian missionaries deceiving Hindus and converting them in different parts of the country. Deshpande said that he had not watched any news item on the said topic. (Christians have converted the whole North-East India by deceiving Hindus. Still the statement made by Deshpande shows his lack of study and ignorance. How can such type of reporters be capable to carry out their duties as the fourth pillar of democracy? - Editor SP) On this Abhay Vartak said, “News regarding  many anti-Hindu incidents is not published; e.g. An idol of Saibaba was damaged in Goa and ‘IBN Lokmat’ was given proofs and information about the incident but the news was not published.” After this statement Wagle started accusing Sanatan Sanstha.

‘I am right, others are wrong’ – Wagle’s policy

Wagle said, “The photographs given by you are prepared on computer using photo-trick technique. No such incident has taken place. Our representative Ameya Tirodkar was sent to Goa. The police also informed us that the matter was about theft and damage of idol did not take place. This is an issue of giving false information to ignite communalism. I am the editor and took a decision not to publish the said news. Abhay Vartak, you are using the public channel for wrong purpose. (Our wise citizens will know whether Mr. Vartak is misusing TV medium presenting only the truth or Mr. Wagle making false allegations against Sanatan Sanstha and not allowing Mr. Vartak to present his points, is misusing the medium of TV and his post. – Editor SP) The viewers should note that I do not want to insult Abhay Vartak; but Sanatan Sanstha’s workers were caught in a bomb blast case in Goa. (What is the connection between bomb blast and damaging of idols? To say that ‘I don’t want to insult and make false insulting statements’, shows Wagle’s double standards. – Editor SP) I can tell PCR to switch off Vartak’s voice. (Suppression by Wagle who is now and again blowing trumpets of democracy. – Editor SP) You are telling lies and I can tell this 10 times. IBN Lokmat tries to find the truth. (Information given by the police is made as a shield by avoiding actual truth. How will ‘IBN Lokmat’ ever do justice to religious sentiments of Hindus? – Editor SP) Your accusations can trigger communal rift. My platform should not be used for the purpose.” All the proofs given by Mr. Vartak were kept aside by Wagle. Mentality of IBN Lokmat to avoid publishing news about attacks on temples

Nikhil Wagle is in the habit of inviting pro-Hindu guests on his channel for discussions and then insulting them. Earlier, Wagle had organized a discussion program on the issue of burning of copies of ‘Quran’ in USA. In that program also, Mr. Vartak had said that the channel was not publishing news about thefts occurring in temples and instances of attacks on temples. On this Wagle had stated that he had not come across such news in the past 30 years of his life spent in journalism. Wagle had said that if proofs were provided, he would publish the news. In the meantime, Sanatan Sanstha provided many proofs in the matter; but Wagle did not even send any reply to Sanatan.

Bravery of Abhay Vartak 

Mr. Vartak was continuously telling Wagle that all the information provided was true. ‘The information was received by Sanatan under RTI. It was the information given by the police in Legislative Assembly. Sanatan has not given any wrong information. There is no need for Sanatan Sanstha to use any platform. Wagle can say anything because he is the host of the program; but our information is true.’ (Will pro-Hindus learn from the example of Mr. Abhay Vartak who fought for truth?– Editor SP) Wagle got more irritated and said, “Vartak, you are crossing the limit of courtesy. You are misusing the power of democracy.” On this Mr. Vartak bravely got up and said, “Millions of people are watching. They understand whose voice is big. I am registering protest against your program and leaving now. Sanatan Sanstha does not have to tell lies.” (Congratulations to Mr. Vartak for leaving the program to maintain the respect of sentiments of Hindus and for foiling attempts to suppress the voice of Hinduism! – Editor SP) While Mr. Vartak was getting up, Wagle also got up and said, “I will not allow anybody to take advantage of my platform till I am here. You can go.”

This incident has led to black-listing of IBN Lokmat channel by Hindus. Many Hindus congratulated Mr. Vartak over phone and told him that they were going to boycott the channel and make a demand with their cable operators to stop telecast of that channel.

Wagle loses his mental

Nikhil Wagle tried his best to suppress the truth told by Sanatan Sanstha about idol-breaking cases in Goa when he lost his mental balance. He was so angry that he could not even take the name of Sanatan properly. He tried to save his skin by saying that Sanatan workers were involved in Mudgaon bomb blast case.

O Hindus, understand the purpose of giving this news about IBN Lokmat

Mr. Abhay Vartak took part in the program held by IBN Lokmat as a representative of Hindus. His insult is not the insult of Sanatan but insult of all Hindus. The purpose behind giving this news is to only show that how the so-called secular mass media is insulting religious sentiments of Hindus. All Hindus must raise voice against this.

Cc: editor@ibnlive.com


To,
Nikhil Wagle,

We are observing you on the IBN-Lokmat news channel. Are you a reporter or just a barking dog?

Every time you talk with the respected representative from any Hindutvavadi party you just start barking like dog! We are observing this in news as well as the programs you conduct on your news channel. It gives very wrong impression of your channel as well as your personality. Recently we saw one worse element of your personality that you cannot accept the truth even after supported with the proofs. Just by barking like dog you cannot hide truth. We are talking about the demolition of temples in Goa.

This is the indication of the psycho problem which you have when you hear something about Hindus.

You must treat yourself for this problem under the guidance of doctor otherwise it may create problem for yourself.

We have decided to ban IBN-Lokmat channel in our area due to this barking dog’s behavior of yours. If you do not want to worsen the situation, please change.

Hoping for positive action from your end !

N. Joshi and group,
Pune

2) Protest E-mail by a devout Hindu

From: proud Hindu
Date: 26 January 2011 08:41
Subject: Hindu Temples breaking in Goa and Maharashtra
To: editor@ibnlive.com

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a Proud Hindu, writing to you. I saw a program hosted by Shri Nikhil Wagale which was telecast on 21st Jan 2011. The show's name is 'Aajacha Savaal', the channel is 'IBN Lokmat' and its language is Marathi. Shri Abhay Vartak of Sanatan Sanstha (www.sanatan.org) was one of the participants in the show.

The temples breaking in Goa and Maharashtra was mentioned in the course of the discussion. Shri Abhay Vartak provided a bunch of evidence of Hindu Temples being broken into, desecrated and subsequently looted. In fact the Goa government established a special cell to deal with the temple breaking cases. The information was sourced from government(s) made available under Right to Information Act.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, Shri Nikhil Wagle adamantly refused to acknowledge the serious situation. On the contrary he alleged Shri Vartak of misusing the freedom of expression. He further accused that the images Shri Abhay Vartak gave were digitally manipulated. To the karodes of Hindus viewers (including myself) this is a BLATANT INSULT. Obviously Shri Abhay Vartak also felt the same pain. He left the show.

Can Shri Nikhil Wagle IGNORE THE BOLD FACTS and still maintain a straight face? Who is fooling around whom?

What's your official viewpoint? As an avid Hindu viewer, I demand an explanation. You can reply to this email.

Thank you,
-Proud Hindu

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
