Kolhapur – Non-Hindus have come up with a new form of attack targetting temple premises, yatras, festivals and other places by setting up stalls selling various goods. While Hindus remain unemployed due to lack of opportunities, non-Hindus who do not believe in worship of murtis set up shops in the temple area. More importantly, why should we fund those who oppose Dharma? Hindus will have to think about this. Therefore, only devotees and those who believe in the Deity should be given an opportunity to do business in the temple area, appealed Mr Kiran Duse, Kolhapur District Coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti.


He was speaking at the Hindu Rashtra-Jagruti Sabha at Birdev Mandir in Bhadole (Taluka Hatkanangale, Maharashtra) on 30th December. On this occasion, Dr Shilpa Kothavale of Sanatan Sanstha also addressed the attendees. More than 400 devout Hindus attended the Sabha.
