HJS organized Hindu Dharma Rakshan meet attented
by thousands of devotees.
Members present at the State level All-Sects
Hindu Dharma Rakshan session held at Alandi have strongly opposed and demanded
withdrawal of the Anti-Superstition Act and the Act for the takeover of Temples
by the Government that is to be enacted under the 15th Law Commission. These
two Acts are proposed to be enacted in the forthcoming winter session of the
State Legislative Council.
All the same, there was consensus on the decision
of staging a powerful agitation all over Maharashtra till these Acts are not
withdrawn. This State level session was organised jointly by the Warkari Sect,
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS), Art of Living and Sanatan Sanstha.
The Government elected by us belongs to Muslims
- Shri. Ramesh Shinde, HJS
The Govt. has conveniently excluded mosques
and madarasas belonging to the Waqf Board from the purview of this Temple
Takeover Act. This proves that the Government that we have elected is a pro-Muslim
Govt. The funds of Hindu temples are being collected and diverted to mosques
and churches. The Govt. is taking over only those temples that have funds;
however it shall not do so in the case of temples that are in a dilapidated
condition in villages because such temples will not yield them any money.
The Government's move to takeover temples
to repay the crores of rupees of debt of the Maharashtra State is an evidence
of the fact that all its industries have shut down. Shri. Shinde appealed
that everybody should unitedly protest against this, question leaders regarding
their view in the context of these Acts and should strongly proclaim that
'If your (leaders) view in this regard is against us, then we shall also be
against you during the elections!'
To oppose Anti-Hindu Acts is the duty of every
Hindu - Swami Govind Devgiri Maharaj (formerly known as Pujya Kishorji Vyas)
Both these proposed enactments are Anti-Hindu
and it is the duty of every Hindu to oppose them. Else, the consequences shall
be terrible. Each and every Government industry is on the verge of closing
down; hence the Government is targeting temples. Government run industries
that are ill managed are being privatised. Swami Govind Devgiri Maharaj expressed
his fear that, after taking over temples, the Government shall be unable to
manage them and these too shall be privatised!
