Agitation will continue till Setusamudram Project not scrapped!

Panaji (Goa): The Central Government has commenced work to destroy the ‘Sree Ram Setu’ through its Setusamudram Shipping Canal Project. ‘If this work is not stopped with immediate effect, then we shall stage a huge agitation till this project is scrapped’, was the warning given by the Rameshwaram Ramsetu Raksha Manch to the Central Government today. This warning was given at a demonstration staged near the Hanuman Temple located near the Kadamba Bus stand.

Shri. Vinayak Chari gave this warning while addressing the crowd on behalf of the Manch during the demonstration. The Congress Government at the Center is working against Hindu culture. We are willing to take any step to stop this project that aims to destroy the ‘Sree Ram Setu’, remarked Shri. Chari. At this time, Prof. Anil Parvatkar, a historian, strongly criticized the Congress Government’s above said plan. He publicly criticized the Central Tourism Minister Smt. Ambika Soni and Central Minister Shri. Balu’s claim that the ‘Sree Ram Setu’ does not exist. During their speech, Prof. Ratnakar Lele and Prof. Datta Naik of the RSS also criticised the Congress Government for attempting to destroy the ‘Sree Ram Setu’. Prof. Datta Naik further remarked that the Government was indulging in anti-Hindu activities under the garb of secularism. Shri. Abhijit Nadkarni of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) expressed that the said project was an attack on Hindu Dharma and all Hindus should unite to fight back against it. He acquainted the audience with the online signature campaign started by the HJS on its Website www.hindujagruti.org to protect the ‘Sree Ram Setu’. The VHP, HJS and Sanatan Sanstha supported this agitation. Shri. Govind Parvatkar, BJP Spokesperson; leader Dr. Subhash Salkar and Sanatan Sanstha’s Prasarsevika Smt. Shubha Sawant also participated in the agitation.
