Hindu organizations stage an agitation at KK

By Dinesh Kamath and Vijay Bhor

NAVI MUMBAI: An illegal construction of ‘Hira International Islamic University’ is in progress on at Chandragiri, Andhra Pradesh near Shri Tirupati temple which is an eminent seat of faith of Hindus. This construction is being carried out on the land belonging to Shri Thimappa (Shri Vishnu) temple of Hindus, and 7 storeys of the university have been built without securing the permission. Agitation by all pro-Hindu organizations and organizations having similar ideology was conducted in Navi Mumbai at Gulab Sons Dairy Chowk, Sector 15, Koparkhairane demanding immediate stoppage of the construction of the university in order to prevent any possible conflict in the future as a result of establishment of this university.

Similarly, a demand has been made to take action against the persons guilty for this illegal construction and those providing finances for the construction, by instituting inquiry against them as Government did not take into consideration the views of Spiritual leaders, Spiritual organizations and Warkaris before issuing the Anti-Hindu black-magic bill ordinance. Hence all organizations have protested and objected the bill.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Youth For Trial Welfare, Yog Vedanta Samiti, Shivsena, Sanatan Sanstha and Hindu Janjgruti Samiti organizations have participated in this Agitation.

The permission to construct this university ahs not been sought even from ‘Tirupati Urban Development Authority’ at Chandragiri, which is at the distance of 13 kilometers. A demand has been made that construction work of the university should be immediately stopped in view of the danger posed to Shri Tirupati Mandir and to protect the sanctity of the place. The protestors have asked the Government whether it would dare to establish a Hindu University at ‘Mecca’ or ‘Vatican’.

The protestors also demanded that justice be given to riot-affected Hindus at Mujaffar Nagar, people in Uttar Pradesh who are affected by 104 communal riots that took place there and to promptly rehabilitate victimized Hindus.
