1. Adv. (Mrs.) Aparna Ramteerthakar: She said that assaults on Hindu Dharma are increasing. Hindus have to fight for their existence. Politicians should leave aside their party politics and think about Hindu Dharma. Secularism has become a ploy to throttle Hindus. Young generation is tilting towards Western culture. Programs shown on TV are on extra-marital affairs. Deities are publicly denigrated on stage.
   
   About HJS, she said that HJS is the only hope to unite Hindus. HJS was instrumental in preventing conversion of Hindus at Magarewadi.
   
   
2. Shri. Subhash Deshmukh, BJP MP: Hindus must think that why there is a need to unite them is there; why Government is taking over temples. During post-Independence period, why Hindus are oppressed? Till Hindus do not become irate, the situation will not change. Money offered by poor devotees should not be used for mosques and churches. Terrorism is now knocking at our doors. We must realize the need to come together and foil Government’s ploy.
   
   
3. Pujya S S Naganath Alli Maharaj: Anybody and everybody is harassing Hindus. ‘Ahimsa’ does not mean that we should not retaliate. It is not sin to kill sinners, terrorists. Even if you take cymbals for worship, do not hesitate to take arms. We worship deities; but we don’t really look at the idols. Every deity has some weapon in his/her hand. Retaliation is Dharma. Prevention of injustice is justice. Therefore, we should not wait till the Act is passed and then think of protesting. We should be tolerant but not afraid. Physical, psychological, intellectual, collective and spiritual power is higher in increasing order. To generate such power, we should unite.
   
   
4. Purushottam Barde, Shiv Sena District-chief: We are responsible for the situation. When there are 85 crores Hindus, how can such Acts get passed? We should have a vote bank.

5. Dr. Samant, HJS National Spokesperson: From the past 7 years, Government run industries are being privatized. Why then Government is taking over temples? Banks are nationalized. Nationalization means corruption, bankruptcy and groupism. Do we want same thing to happen to our temples. Because of the influence of communists, such Acts are being brought in. Hindus can send at least one letter of protest against the anti-Hindu Acts.
   
   
6. Pujya Dr. Jaysiddheshwar Shivacharya Mahaswamiji: Earth and Sun have not moved away from their Dharma. Hindus are facing such condition because they have forgotten their Dharma. You can watch today’s program on ‘Astha’ channel; but once these Acts are passed, the one who is giving guidance and one who is listening, both will go behind bars. We will have to prove how Saint Tukaram could go to ‘vaikuntha’ with his gross body. TV channels showing programs on Dharma will be closed.
   
   
7. Mrs. Ushatai Suravase, Sree sampradaya, district president (ladies wing): Everyone should offer their mind, body and intellect for protection of Dharma. All of us should unite to fight against anti-Hindu Acts proposed by Congress Government. Prepare ‘vote-bank’ of Hindus.
   
   
8. Shri. Vilas Kole, Solapur Dist. President, anti-addiction group: Government’s ploy is to annihilate Hindu Dharma by passing such Acts. One reason is for the same is the Government is in the hands of follower of a different religion. If such assaults are not stopped, we will have to leave this country. This country is not ruled by Hindus but by followers of other religions. We should unite like HJS and work together.

9. Shri. Rajabhau Paithankar, all India Hindu Mahasabha: Government should be pro-Hindu and have Hindus interests at heart.
   
   
10. Shri. Suresh jadhav, Geeta parivar, National Vice President: Temples are energy-houses of Hindus. Temple is a place to bring together all Hindus. It could be the purpose of the Government to keep Hindus divided. It becomes difficult to fight against the Act once it is passed. Therefore, we must fight to prevent it from getting enacted.
    
    
11. Shri. Anilkaka Badave, Pandharpur: Today’s Government is anti-Hindu. The two anti-Hindu Acts are its proof. All Hindus should unite and teach a lesson to the Government.
    
    
12. Shri. Navin Goyal: Instead of passing Acts that are against Hindu Dharma, the Government should destroy terrorists.
