Jaisingpur (Maharashtra): “It is indeed shameful that a land which has produced brave ones like Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, needs to create social awareness on terrorism by putting up an exhibition. Thoughts such as offering the second cheek when the first one has been slapped will certainly not end terrorism, terrorism has to wiped out in the same way as it is wipes out others. One does not achieve greatness by tolerating an attack; on the contrary one is destroyed by it. Today we need the thoughts of Saint Tukaram, Samarth Ramdas Swami and Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. According to Saint Tukaram ‘a beast should be struck on the head with a stick….’. Only if Hindus adopt the attitude of Srikrushna who entered the battle arena to combat unrighteousness will this terrorism get wiped off.” This was the guidance given by Sadguru Bal Maharaj when speaking as the chief guest for the function.
To present the real face of terrorism to society the HJS organised an exhibition, the ‘Bitter truth of terrorism’ of photographs of Kashmiri Hindus in collaboration with the FACT on 30th September and 1st and 2nd October, in the 10th lane of the City Corporation hall. .
The function was inaugurated with lighting of a lamp by Maharaj. The others who graced the occasion were the Chief Officer of the City Corporation of Jaisingpur Shri Sanjay Patil, the Sangli spokesperson of the HJS Shri Rajaram Ropal, Chief Officer Shri Tryambak Dengle-Patil, Shri Mukund Pujari of the BJP, the BJP state secretary Shri Ramprasad Parikh, etc. At 10 am the exhibition was thrown open to the public after Shri Mohanrav Kulkarni a senior BJP worker broke a coconut at the venue.
Further H.H. Bal Maharj said, “ Can the Central Home Minister who pledges to catch the culprits who attacked two Christian priests who were trying to convert Hindus, not see the atrocities committed on lakhs of Hindus in Kashmir ? At this juncture we need to contemplate on whether the government is really blind or just unconcerned ? ”
The HJS is uniting Hindus through the FACT exhibition !: Chief Officer of the Municipal Corporation Shri Sanjay Patil
The Chief Officer of Jaisingpur Municipal Corporation Shri Sanjay Patil stated that through the exhibition of photographs depicting the atrocities on Hindus, the HJS is creating social awareness and trying to unite Hindu society. The politicians running the country today are neglecting Hindus and pampering the minorities for a couple of votes. What is more unfortunate for the country than to have politicians who grant amnesty to a national traitor like Mahamad Afzal ?
He also offered to assist the Samiti in all its activities.
At that time Shri Ramprasad Parikh also expressed his sentiments. Shri Mukund Pujari of the BJP welcomed H.H. Bal Maharaj. Shri Sanjay Patil and the HJS representativre Shri Rajaram Ropal were received by the BJP district secretary Shri Ramprasad Parikh while the Chief Officer Shri Tryambak Dengle Patil was welcomed by Shri Annasaheb Verekar of the HJS.
