Panaji (Goa): ‘Ram-setu’ is a place of worship for all Hindus from all over the world; but the Indian Government has taken up a project to demolish this setu. The Central Government can dare to do such thing only because of Hindu apathy. All Hindus should unite and fight against this project. The above statement was made by Dr. Manoj Solanki, the spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) for the State of Goa. A conference was held at V. M. Salgaokar Law College on the topic ‘Setusamudram Project and Ram-setu’. The setu was built by the army of monkeys about more than one and a half million years ago and its existence is very significant even from the geographical, social and environmental point of view. Our experts have opined that if this setu is demolished, we may have to face disasters like tsunami; but the Government is bent upon carrying on with its project. To save a few millions of rupees, the Congress Government is going ahead with its plan to destroy such invaluable treasure. It is a ploy against Hindus. Dr. Solanki said that despite having other options for the project, the Government is unyielding on the issue. The participants were explained with the help of audio-visual mediums about the campaign started by HJS in this matter on its website.
Shri Abhijit Sadhale, an architect gave details about the construction of the ‘setu’ from the perspective of architecture based on evidence taken from scriptures and explained the need for this setu even today.
