New Delhi : Jagatguru Shankaracharya Adhukshjananda Tirtha of Jagannathpuri has demanded from the Union Government to clamp a ban on Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal for creating communal atmosphere in the country. He also urged the government to put an end to the ongoing move of the Modi administration to keep minorities under perpetual terror in Gujarat.
"The leaders of these three organisations that claim to be ‘nationalist' hatch conspiracies to give way to communal flare-up in the country by exploiting cooked-up issues of religious hatred. The government should ban all the three organisations and arrest their leaders," the Urdu daily Rashtriya Sahara reported the Shankaracharya as saying here Sunday and some Urdu dailies like the Hindustan Express and the Akhbar-e-Mashriq besides the Sahara carried a UNI report to this effect Thursday.
"The people of the country should not be misled by their provocative speeches; for they serve their vested interest in the name of religion. The workers of these organisations donning saffron clothes accompany such leaders and the common men take them to be sadhus. People should not let these actors flourish among them and face them with all strength," the Shankaracharya said while appealing to true sadhus to give up their (these actors') company.
The Shankaracharya said the Gujarat genocide has proved that the Modi administration is terrorising the minorities in the State by fomenting communal atmosphere and the process is still going on there. "The Government at the Centre ought to issue orders to arrest those responsible for creating an atmosphere of terror in the State," he added.
Blaming the Bharatiya Janata Party of breaching Rama, the Shankaracharya said, "The then BJP-led NDA government did not get the Ramjanmabhoomi temple built and pretended to be secular. And now when they are out of power, they are fanning the controversial issue of Ram Sethu just to attract the Hindus once again."
He said it is need of the hour not to help succeed the moves of the organisations that are hell bent upon putting hurdles in the way of India to emerge as a global power.
