Udupi, Feb 11: Hindu Janajagruti Samiti had organized Hindu Rashtra Jagruti (Hindu national awakening) meet here on Sunday February 10 for the purpose of awakening Hindu society and instilling in them a determination to realize the concept of installing Hindu nation.

Sri Muktananda Swamiji of Sri Lakshmi Satyanarayana Veeranjaneya Swamy temple, Karinje, inaugurated the meet.

Founder of Sri Ram Sene, Pramod Muthalik, who delivered keynote address at the meet, noted that India happens to be the only abode for Hindus whereas people belonging to other minority religions have the option to settle in other countries. "Hindus are never driven with the purpose of undertaking terrorist activities. There have been incessant onslaughts on Hindu culture. Wicked forces have been hitting at us from within our own home," he stressed.

Muthalik said that anti-Hindu forces have been trying to break Hindus with the help of police and law, and charged police department of being guided by archaic British system even now. "They have been charging 'Sanatana Dharma Sanstha' with undertaking anti Hindu activities. How far can this be justified? The government has been nationalizing temples. They behave like agents of Islam and Christianity. Huge funds pour into the country for spending money for these activities, and I have evidence for this," he claimed.

Turning his ire at rationalist, K S Bhagawan, he said that Bhagawan has turned into Satan. He claimed that Bhagawan is not being arrested by the police who hold his arrest warrant because of the fact that he was a classmate of former chief minister, Siddaramaiah. He charged the police of twisting law for their own convenience. "At the same time, if a case is registered against me, police come to my house at midnight to arrest me. This is the fate of our country.   As on date, I face 109 cases," he explained. "Let a case be registered against me in this city also. At least on this guise I can visit Udupi often and work to bring Hindus together. Even if thousands of such cases are hoisted against me, they cannot muffle the voices of Hindus. Awakening of Hindus and bringing them together is in our blood," he stated.

Muthalik lamented the fact that not a Hindu can be found in five districts of Kashmir, as all of them have been driven out of their villages. "When Hindus are exploited or they are made to face atrocities in Kashmir, people living in other states do not feel anything, and no one gives any response. Therefore, persecution of Hindus continues there. Lacs of people have lost their lives there, and 50,000 Kashmiris have been created," he stated.

Recollecting that prayers had recently been offered in Kashmir seeking the return of Afzal Guru and seeking his rebirth there as an immortal, he said, "The people there also raised slogans saying that Afzal lives in every house, and wanting to know how many of them could be hanged by the government. In response, we would like to say that for protecting Hindu culture, we will visit every house and kill Afzals living there. We will flush out Afzals by forcing ourselves into such houses," he announced.

Muthalik noted that no grant has been set aside in the state budget for soldiers who guard the country's borders and the police who are in charge of internal security. "At the same time, crores of rupees have been set aside for Christian community and their institutions because Congress high command chief is Christian. The chief minister did this to appease her," Muthalik charged.

In his address, Sri Muktananda Swamiji felt that those who are against Hindus are anti-national. He said that such people meet the fate Ravana once had met. "The state gets 'Achche Din' when Ram Mandir is built at Ayodhya. If Congress forms the government in the country, people will have to lead a life of suffering. Only Hindu organizations can build an affluent nation," he said. He also noted that no one gets punished in India for raising anti-Hindu slogans.

Dakshina Kannada district coordinator of the Samiti, Chandru Mogera and  Lakshmi Pai of Sanatana Sanstha were present. On this occasion, a grand procession was taken out from Jodukatte to board high school. A show of flexes depicting nationalist leaders who worked for spreading religious education and led revolutions, and also those which show suffering of Hindus in Kashmir, was held.
