In his inaugural speech, Vice President of Hindu Samhati, Advocate Brojen Roy set the tune of the rally by emphasizing on the need of Hindu unity. It was followed by blessings of Swami Tejasananda Ji Maharaj. Former professor of London School of Economics, Dr. Gautam Sen said that Hindus never consider any other religion as it’s enemy but if other religion attack them to establish their supremacy, Hindus have all the right to counter the attack. Famous Jewish social activist, Dr. Richard Benkin, in his speech, expressed concern over continuous attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Dr. Sharadindu Mukherjee, professor of Delhi University, congratulated the Hindu Samhati activists for their fighting spirit and struggle for existence. President of Hindu Makkal Kacchi, Tamil Nadu, Sri Arjun Sampat criticized the West Bengal Govt. for it’s minority appeasement policy and expressed his confidence that the initiative taken by the President of Hindu Samhati, Sri Tapan Ghosh is a source of inspiration for others across the nation. Swami Pradiptananda Ji, who is popularly known as Kartick Maharaj, appealed the crowd to start worshiping Chakradhari Krishna instead of Banshidhari Krishna. Buddhist monk, Sri Karunalankar Bhikkhu appreciated the work of Hindu Samhati towards Hindu cause.
Hindu Samhati President, Sri Tapan Ghosh, advised the crowd to be prepared enough to ensure their own security and not to depend on police for that as he counted many instances where police has failed to protect themselves under jihadi threats. He warned Hindus not to become a mere tool for fulfilling aspirations of political parties and urged them to maintain strong vigil on activities of every political party. He claimed that just like Congress, Communists and TMC, BJP in West Bengal is also pursuing the policy of minority appeasement. He demanded fulfillment of pre-poll promises, like stopping of cow trafficking, strong action against infiltrators from Bangladesh, Declassification of files related to Netaji, made by Sri Narendra Modi. He warned BJP that relying on only development, ignoring it’s ideology shall result in electoral debacle as happened in Delhi assembly election a few days ago.
