Mangalore, Jan 24: The Hindu Yuva Samavesha held here on Sunday January 24 at Nehru Maidan, mainly focused on issues like a law against cow slaughter, protection of Hindu religious places, strict action against terrorism, and ‘love jehad’.
The speakers at this convention spoke on these issues as well as Hindutva and strengthening the power of Hindutva.
The convention, which started with a procession that included numerous tableaux on Hindutva, was organized to celebrate the silver jubilee of the formation of the Bajarang Dal.
Prakash Sharma, national convener of Bajarang Dal, said that the organization was started with the principle of protection of Hindutva and it will fight on matters that go against Hindutva. He said that the Bajarang Dal will not tolerate any anti-Hindu activities and its members are dedicated to protecting the country with their patriotism.
“We will build Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and will not allow construction of Masjid”, he said. “The traditional and religious Amaranath Yatra, the annual pilgrimage performed by Hindus since decades, has been plagued by terrorism for years”, added Sharma.
“Cow slaughter should be banned as Hindus worship the cow as God”, he said, adding that killing of God is not tolerated for a long time. “The state government should immediately pass a law against this”, Sharma demanded.
He said that religious conversion, love jehad, and terrorism are the enemies of Hindutva and stressed that the Bajarang Dal will fight against these.
Chakravarthy Solibele, Jago Bharath activist, said that the so-called intellectuals in India need to learn about Hindutva. He added that the Hindu religion has no date of birth and it has no date of demise also and hence, Hindutva will remain strong whatever is done against it.
Ramananda Swamiji of Kolya Mutt, Rajashekarananda Swamiji of Vajradehi Mutt, Sooryanarayana, leader of Bajarang Dal, and Tejaswi Soorya, leader of Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP), also spoke on the occasion. Two books on Hindutva were also released.
M B Puranik, leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishat (VHP), presided over the function. Bharath Shetty, president of the organizing committee, welcomed all. Bajarang Dal leaders Sharan Pumpwell, Sudarshan M, Shivananda Mendan, and Vinaya L Shetty were also present on the dais.
