Representation submitted to District Collector, Nashik !

Nashik (Maharashtra) : Delegation of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) submitted a representation to the District Collector demanding cancellation of increase in railway fare which was accepted by Dy. District Collector Jitendra Kakuste.

It has been warned in the representation that HJS would stage intense agitation along with other pro-Hindu organizations if the increase in fare was not immediately withdrawn.

Shri. Sunil Ghanavat, the State Convener of HJS for Maharashtra, H.B.P. Sampatrao Dhongade, Nashik District President of Maharashtra Rajya Warkari Mahamandal, Shri. Manoj Joshi – VHP’s City-Minister, Shri. Rhushikesh Pathak – advocate and member of VHP, Shri. Karan Singh Raje Bavari – President of ‘Yuva Hindu Ekata Andolan’, Shri. Manohar Jadhav and Shri. Shivaji Ugale of HJS were present on the occasion.

Similar representation was sent to Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu.

Points raised by Hindus and their demands

* Is the Government trying to create obstacles through such hike in fare instead of providing facilities to devotees coming for ‘Simhastha Parva’ from all over the country ?

* On one hand, the Government extends several facilities to Haj pilgrims; provides special medical facility; whereas it is imposing restrictions on Hindu devotees. Instead of providing facilities, increasing fares on the occasion of Hindus’ festivals, is most inappropriate.

* It is expected that all are done justice under the secular governance; but it does not seem to happen in case of Hindus.

* Hindus have to undertake pilgrimages as if they are slaves in their own country. All those responsible for increase in fare on the occasion of Hindus’ pilgrimage should be punished.
