HJS, Shiv Sena come out in support of Sanatan Sanstha
PANAJI: Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) and Shiv Sena have extended support to the Sanatan Sanstha which has its headquarters in Ramnathi village in Ponda.
On Thursday, HJS Goa convenor Dr Manoj Solanki and immediate past president of Shiv Sena Ramesh Naik alongwith Dr Durgesh Samant, former editor of Sanatan Prabhat, the mouthpiece of Sanatan Sanstha addressed the media jointly. They condemned the demand by Saurabh Lotlikar, president of Ramnath Yuvak Sangh and villagers to ban or shift the organisation’s base from Ramnathi village.
Dr Samant terming the demand unconstitutional said “Saurabh Lotlikar and his group have made the demand without any valid reason.”
Stating that during the 2009 Margao blasts case too these allegations had surfaced, Samant said, “Sanstha was not even charge-sheeted then.”
Extending support to Pramod Muthalik-led Sri Ram Sena, Dr Samant said, “Sri Ram Sena should not have been banned by the Goa government. When the Karnataka government has not banned, why the Goa government should do so?”
Responding to the ban on media entry to the Sanatan Sanstha Ashram in Ramnathi, Dr Samant said, “During the on-going issue we have realised that there is a media trial going on. Some sections of the media have misquoted the representatives of the ashram. Due to media trial the trust has decided not to allow media inside the ashram premises.”
The three were flanked by four seekers of the Sanstha living in the vicinity of the ashram.
