VHP to organise rally in each district on March 4 --to defend Centre's conspiracy over Ram Setu

Bhubaneswar:(visakeo) With the Supreme Court all set to hear the fresh affidavit on Ram Setu on March 5, Viswa Hindu Parishad on Sunday announced to organise rally in each districts of the country to defend the conspiracy of the Centre as well as the Tamil Nadu Governmnet over the controversial Setu Samudram Shipping Canal Project on the Tamil Nadu Coast.

Speaking at Dharmarakhya programme by the State unit here at the IDCOL Auditorium, VHP International General Secretary Prabin Bhai Togadia  said that rally and motor cycle rallies will be carried out in each district of the country in protest against the fresh move of the Centre as well as the Tamil Nadu Government.

While steering clear of the controversy it stirred by doubting the existence of Ramayan and its link with Ram Setu, the Centre has already sought SC's permission to resume dredging of the Setu, saying religions and faith could not dictate its policy decisions. Indirectly hinting that linking Ram Setu to Ramayan was a matter of faith, the Centre laboured to clarify that matters of faith could not be the "basis and instrument" of state policy — that was to go ahead with the Sethusamudram channel project.

Objecting such type of pro-defamatory statements to satisfy the DMK in order to keep UPA intact, Togadia warned dire consequence  with the Congress " We have stand by our decision that Lord Ram not questionable and the Centre should refrain from hurting the sentiments of Hindus living across the globe,"

Dr Sailendra Nanda presided over the meeting while VHP State secretary Gouri Prasad Rath, Bhubaneswar VHP president Bhaskar Tripathy, Akhil Bharatiya Seva Pramukha Arbinda Chouthawala, city secretary Pratap Sarangi, Bibhutananda Sutar and Pramod Dash were among those present.
