Shegaon (Maharashtra): The Joint Review Committee of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly has given time limit upto 31st August 2007 to people of this State to register their opinion on Eradication of Black Magic and Evil and Aghouri Practices Act, 2005. It is the ploy of the Government to seek public opinion in such difficult manner. The Act is an assault on Hindu Dharma. Therefore, every Hindu should register his/her opinion against the Act. The above appeal was made by Shri. Nivrutti Maharaj Vakte, a keertankar from Pandharpur. A march was taken out from Big Ram Mandir in Akola to Shegaon to protest against the Government. The march was organized by VHP, Bajarang Dal and Chhava Sanghatana. Members of these organizations from various districts participated in the march. The march ended in a public meeting attended by more than 2000 workers of the above organizations and was addressed by Shri. Vakte Maharaj. He warned that the Government should not try to pass the ‘Temple take-over’ Act and have a control over worship places of Hindus; else they would have to step down.
Many VHP leaders like Prof. Abadev, Shri. Hemant Jambhekar, Shri. Govardhan Sharma, MLA, Shri. Giriraj Tiwari, Vidarbha Chief, Shri. Ganesh Kalkar, Shri. Kamalkishore Baheti, Shri. Kavalkar Maharaj, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Aware, Nana Ujawane, keertankars, Dr. Abhay Patil so also leaders of Chhava like Shri. Shankarrao Wakode, members of HJS S/Shri. Dhiraj Raut, Subhash More, Vishnu Rajandekar, Gaurishankar Kalshetty and devout Hindus participated in the march.
HJS circulated pamphlets about the two anti-Hindu Acts and denigration of deities by painter M F Hussain.
