Panvel (Maharshtra) : Anti-Hindu ‘Communal Violence Bill 2011’ is being proposed under the name of protecting the minorities but causing injustice to the Majority that is Hindus, at the same time. In order to get this anti-Hindu Bill cancelled, spontaneous demonstrations were held at Shivaji Chowk here between 4 to 7 in the evening by Hindutvawadi Organisations and Political Parties coming together. This agitation was organised on behalf of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS). About 350 proud Hindus were present there. This Bill intends to uproot Hindus completely, making the minorities’ complainant and the majority that is Hindus accused. The Central Government is trying to place this Bill before the Monsoon session of the Parliament. The draft of this Bill is being prepared by anti-Hindu President of the National Security Advisory Committee, Sonia Gandhi along with so called secularists Tista Setalvad, Nazmi Vajari, Farah Naqvi, etc. Although the present Laws are quite adequate, this is a conspiracy to destroy the very existence of the Hindus. So a ‘Signature Campaign’ in this regard was undertaken during this agitation. The campaign got tremendous response from the people. Warkari Sampraday, Jain Organisations, Sri Sampraday, Shikh Gurudwara, Sanatan Sanstha, Dharmasahkti Sena, Various Temple Trusts, representatives of Shivsena, BJP and other Organisations and political Parties from Panvel had participated in the agitation.

Panvel echoed with the slogans

Slogans like, ‘Cancel the Tughlaki Bill laying pernicious bindings on Hindus’, ‘Cancel the Anti-Hindu Bill meant to uproot Hindus’, ‘Dissolve the Government calling Hindus as atrocious/terrorists’, ‘Cancel the anti-Hindu ‘Communal Violence Bill 2011’ or else leave the ruling power!’ echoed in the whole area of Panvel. Proud Hindus had sign boards having hints like, ‘To swallow Hindus, not to Protect the people’, Leave misapprehension, Government is shameless in trying to bring the ‘Communal Violence Bill’, written on them. They were also holding Saffron coloured flags in their hands.  A memorandum too was given to Tahsildar at Panvel, demanding cancellation of the said Bill, on behalf of all the Organisations. The dignitaries participating in the agitation by HJS were, District Chief Secretary of BJP, Mr. Pradip Jadhav, Mr. Sanjay Guruji, Panvel City President, BJP, Mr. Babandada Patil, Raigad District President, Mr. Gururaj Kulkarni, RSS, Mr. Balasaheb Patil, Ex District President and senior leader, BJP, Mr. Mahendra Patil, Dist.
