Sanatana Dharma scholars drawn out from India, Nepal, Fiji and Hong Kong have assembled at Ramnadhi, Goa for a brainstorming session to chalk out strategies to prevent continued attack on Hindu religion, according to Sanatha Sanstha, an institution of monks and seers.
“Considering the violence perpetrated by religious fanatics across the country after Friday prayers, we will have to fight for the Hindu Rashtra till the entire system of governance remains in the interest of Hindus. Nandi (Shivling) in Varanasi still looks at the ruins of the original destroyed temple facing the enlightened Gyanvapi mosque. In Karnataka, the campaign 'Pahale Hijab, Baad Mein Kitab' (First the Hijab, later the textbook) was started by the fundamentalists through the girl students. Despite the High Court ruling against it, not a single 'secularist' in the country has dared to ask the Muslims who are demanding hijab, 'Is the Quran superior or the constitution of the country?' How is it inappropriate for Hindus to demand the 'Hindu Rashtra?” asked Dr Charudatta Pingale, national guide, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, the organisers of the congregation told the delegates on Sunday.
Ramesh Shinde, national spokesman, HJS, said that the country is under attack from religious fanatics over the alleged statement made by Noopur Sharma, the former BJP spokesperson. “If she has violated the laws and has committed blasphemy, let them approach the judiciary and police with documentary evidences. What we see in the name of targeting the minorities is highly reprehensible,” said Shinde who pointed out that the Hindus in the country were suffering silently when their Gods and Goddesses were taunted, ridiculed and insulted by religious fanatics. “Religious tolerance is a two-way traffic. You cannot go on humiliate other religions while you turn intolerant when fingers are pointed at you for shortcomings,” said Shinde.
The seven day conclave will hold discussions on subjects such as ‘Jnanvapi Mosque at Kashi (Varanasi)’, ‘Mathura Liberation Movement’, ‘Places of worship Act’, ‘Slaying of Kashmiri Hindus’, ‘Sound pollution caused by the loud speakers on places of worship, ‘Hijab agitation’, ‘Halal certificate – An economic jihad’, ‘Protection of Hindus’, ‘Protection of Temple-Culture-History’, ‘Conversions’, ‘Muslim encroachment on mountains and forts’,etc. Former director of CBI Nageshwar Rao and a host of personalities drawn out from academia, trade and industries, science and technology would address the delegates, said Shinde.
