Panaji (Goa): The Central Government has commenced work to destroy the ‘Sree Ram Setu’ through its Setusamudram Shipping Canal Project. ‘If this work is not stopped with immediate effect, then we shall stage a huge agitation till this project is scrapped’, was the warning given by the Rameshwaram Ramsetu Raksha Manch to the Central Government today. This warning was given at a demonstration staged near the Hanuman Temple located near the Kadamba Bus stand.
Shri. Vinayak Chari gave this warning while addressing the crowd on behalf of the Manch during the demonstration. The Congress Government at the Center is working against Hindu culture.

He acquainted the audience with the online signature campaign started by the HJS on its Website www.hindujagruti.org to protect the ‘Sree Ram Setu’.
