Rashtriya Hindu Andolan held enthusiastically at Chennai

Demand for construction of Shriram Mandir at Ayodhya

Rashtriya Hindu Andolan was conducted in Chennai recently at Valluvar Kottam. Many pro-Hindu organizations, namely, Shivsena, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Bharathiya Hindu Munnani, Hindu Makkal Katchi, All India Hindu Mahasabha, Vivekananda Peravai gathered under the umbrella of ‘National Hindu Movement’ to urge the Central Government to build the Shriram Mandir at Ayodhya within a specific time frame as promised by them in their election manifesto. Around 60 devout Hindus gathered and participated in the movement with full zest.

Initially, there was a setback, as the police officers told that they have not been informed of the protest and asked for a written permission for the same. They also told that the protest cannot be allowed without a written permission, and if we continue to protest, they might have to take us into custody. After some discussion and assurance, the Assistant Commissioner of Nungambakkam area who was present there, gave the permission and requested us to finish the protest within half an hour. He also requested that the Ambur problem should not be brought up in the program.

The protest started with a prayer and Jaighosh. Gusty slogans were said aloud by Dharmabhimanis demanding the immediate construction of Shriram Mandir at Ayodhya. Few important dignitaries like Shri. Radhakrishnan and Shri. Jayam Pandian of Shivsena, Shri. R.D.Prabhu of Bharath Hindu Munnani, Shri. Kodambakkam of All India Hindu Mahasabha, Shri. Pala Santhosh of Hindu Youth Jagruth Forum, gave fiery speeches. Sou. Uma Ravichandran of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti told that, if Hindus unite, no power in the world can stop them from building the Shriram Mandir which is the birth right of Hindus. Sou. Suganthi Jaikumar of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti compered the whole program. TV channels like ANI, Thanthi TV, Raj TV took bytes of the protest. Shri. Jaikumar and Shri. Vikas Thorat took photos and video of the protest.

Highlights

1. When the police were refusing to give permission to conduct the protest, the various Hindu leaders present there didn’t take any rash decision of going against the police. They were disciplined and asked the vounteers of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti for guidance. They were also actively trying to contact known sources in the Police Department to get the permission.
2. Shri. Radhakrishnanji, Shri. Jayam Pandianji and Shri R.D.Prabhuji insisted that, all Hindu organizations should come together under the leadership of HJS (Hindu Janajagruti Samiti) and conduct such protests every month.
3. Shri. Pala Santhosh told in his speech that, all of us will build the Shriram Mandir together along with the chanting of Shriram’s Name.
4. None of the leaders exceeded the 2 minute time limit given to them for their speech; and none of them deviated from the topic.
5. The police officers who initially gave permission to conduct the protest for only 30 minutes, allowed the protest to continue for more than an hour.
