Thane: HJS celebrates its 8th Anniversary

Mr. Manohar Joshi, MP, Shiv Sena addressing during the program

Thane (Maharashtra): ‘Hinduism is nationalism. This nationalism should be propagated, should be respected. Today, Hindus are not given due respect in this country. Hindus must follow ‘Dharmacharan’ and work towards protection of Dharma with unity. The mission of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) is very good and it is very important. Shiv Sena strongly backs HJS,’ said Mr. Manohar Joshi, a senior leader and MP of Shiv Sena. He was addressing the 8th anniversary program organized by HJS yesterday in the evening at ‘Sahayog Mandir Hall’ in Thane (West).

Mr. Prashant Surve first presented a review of HJS activities. The program was compeered by Mr. Mahesh Mulik that concluded with singing of national song ‘Vande Mataram’.

Mr. Makarand Mule, the main speaker of the program, said, “Hindu Dharma has faced innumerable dangers in the past hundreds of years but Hindu culture has survived all such attacks and will survive even in future. One will find affection, unification, humanity etc. only in this Dharma. Every individual should create awareness in self which HJS is trying to create among Hindus. Every Hindu must realize the power in him and activate that power. Making effective contribution through such power towards Hindu unity is the need of the hour.”
