Beware of hidden enemies operating within the Country – Senior Advocate Nandu Phadke
Delivering his address, Senior Advocate Nandu Phadke highlighted growing ideological concerns. He said, “The recent CJP movement in India is a serious development. Patriotic citizens are deeply concerned to see youth raising anti-national slogans and making obscene and unrestrained remarks. Successive post-independence governments have consistently maintained a biased attitude towards the peace-loving community. For several decades, Hindus were subjected to ideological manipulation. It is due to all these factors that we face this crisis today. Citizens must remain vigilant against hidden enemies operating within the country. To eliminate this anti-national ideology, Hindus will have to organize a united movement.”
Next generation must enter the legal field to protect the Nation and Dharma – Advocate Virendra Ichalkaranjikar
Accepting the honour, Advocate Virendra Ichalkaranjikar dedicated the recognition to fellow legal professionals and appealed to youth, “This award belongs to all those who are fighting whole-heartedly in the legal arena to protect Hindutva. Although I am accepting this award as their representative, it increases my responsibility towards protecting the Nation and Dharma. Today, we must fight against the ideological terrorism spread across the country, and the ‘law’ is a powerful weapon. Given the frequency of attacks on Hindus, the number of advocates fighting for Hindutva must grow into thousands. On this occasion, I appeal to the scholarship recipients and the younger generation at large to enter the legal profession to protect the Nation and Dharma.”
