O Hindus, join the fight of HJS against demolition of Hindu Temples by Karnataka Govt
O Hindus, already thefts in Temples are going regularly in adjacent states of Goa and Maharashtra, both ruled by Congress and NCP. Now in BJP ruled Karnataka also, same thing is happening. It proves that now Hindus have no savior. Now Hindus themselves should unite together and establish ‘Hindu Rashtra’ to change this situation !

Kundapur (Kamalashile , Karnataka) : A robbery had taken place at Shri Braahmi Durgaparameshvari temple in Kamalashile, Udupi on 10th of January 2011. Volunteers of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti visited the temple recently. They met trustee of the temple, Mr. Sachchidaanand Chaatra. Mr. Sachchidaanand said, “The deity’s ornaments worth almost Rs. 20 lakhs have been stolen. It is suspected that four miscreants have done this act. We yet do not know from which direction they entered the Sanctum sanctorum. This incident has happened when four security personnel were on duty.”

On being questioned whether any particular person/persons are suspected he said, “Yes, four local persons are suspected. Police had brought 3 of the suspects here for questioning. They were questioned for over three hours. But they did not accept that they had committed the crime. However, the parents of the suspects were present there and have agreed that their children have been party to the crime. But since nothing is clear we have decided to hold a massive protest.”
More than 1000 local citizens were present at the venue at the time of the questioning. An important point that has come to the notice of the temple administration is that many local eminent persons are connected with the crime and they are trying to exert pressure indirectly to suppress the investigation into the crime. Investigating agencies also seem to be supportive to them.
