Nagpur (Maharashtra) : While the case of sale of animals of cow lineage to butchers by Shri Viththal-Rukmini temple managing committee of the government is still fresh in mind, the President of Pandharpur Municipal Council has encroached on the faith of Hindus by requesting Home Minister, Mr. R. R. Patil, for the government grant of Rs. 60 lakhs to build an advanced slaughterhouse in Pandharpur itself. The implementation of Act to ban the cow-slaughter in the state is essential, but similarly, the government should also reject the request for building a slaughterhouse in Pandharpur, and Pandharpur should be made 100% free of meat and alcohol on the lines of other places of pilgrim such as Haridwar and Rushikesh. Otherwise, an agitation will be conducted to meet these demands. This was declared by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Rashtriya Warkari Sena in a press conference arranged on behalf of these 2 organisations.

Presently, the slaughter of cow lineage is going on in a large proportion, in the nation along with the state. The Union government has not yet given consent to implement the Act to ban the cow-slaughter. In such a situation, to demolish the conspiracy to discolour the water of pious Chandrabhaga river with the blood by building slaughterhouse, Warkari and devout Hindus have shown their preparedness. The government should also reject the request for building a slaughterhouse in Pandharpur, and Pandharpur should be made 100% free of meat and alcohol on the lines of other places of pilgrim such as Haridwar and Rushikesh. The government, which takes progressive step like banning Gutkha to keep young generation free from addition, should also take this next progressive step. Otherwise, we will perform Kirtan (Devotional songs) with Tal-Mrudung (Cymbals and drums) in front of every ‘permit room’. This warning was issued by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Rashtriya Warkari Sena.

Despite the presence of Tribal Develoment Minister, Mr. Babanrao Pachpute of NCP, who himself claims to be a Warkari, Guardian Minister of Solapur District, Mr. Lakshamanrao Dhobale and other Miinisters in power, such kinds of conspiracies are being hatched. Warkaris will seriously think as to who is really behind all these conspiracies. The direction of future agitations will be decided on considering above facts.

Conspiracy to finish Warkari sect ! – H. B. P. Rameshwar Maharaj Shastri

We are strongly opposed to build a slaughterhouse in Pandharpur. This conspiracy has been intentionally hatched by the government. This conspiracy is hatched to denigrate the sanctity of this pious place and thus, finish the Warkari sect. Those, who tried to incite Warkari sect have themselves been finished. If a slaughterhouse has been built here, the government will be the first to be butchered in it. Such was reaction of H. B. P. Rameshwar Maharaj Shastri while talking with the reporter of ‘Sanatan Prabhat’.

...so, shall we drink water mixed with blood as Tirth (Holy water) ? – Sunil Ghanvat

Mr. Sunil Ghanvat of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti said, ‘When all the devotees in Pandharpur are vegetarian, what is a need for slaughterhouse there ? The government is neglecting several problems of devotees in Pandharpur.  When the blood from this slaughterhouse gets mixed in the river, shall devotees drink this water as Tirth (Holy water) ?

The policy of government is just to increase revenue !

One of journalists in Pandharpur informed that when he asked one of the Ministers, the reason for such a decision, the Minister ‘Our policy is to support the sale of meat and alcohol for increasing the revenue receipts. Hence the government adopts such a role.’ (People, understand the mentality of the government from this and defeat such government, eager to desecrate you from your Dharma, in the next election ! – Editor SP)
