PANJIM: Sanatan Sanstha has claimed that it has got the backing of Union AYUSH Minister Shripad Naik against the move to ban the organisation.
“Sanatan Sanstha should ignore its opponents and carry on its mission. Those opposing Sanatan cannot cause any harm to it,” Sanatan State convener Dr Manoj Solanki quoted Naik as saying.
Solanki in a press release said the Sanatan seekers recently met Naik at his Goa residence to submit a memorandum against the probable ban on Sanatan Sanstha.
“At this time, Naik expressed his above opinion,” he said, adding that Pramod Nanoskar and Raj Borkar handed over the memorandum on behalf of Sanatan Sanstha. Likewise, a similar memorandum was presented to Speaker Dr Pramod Sawant, he said.
“This memorandum states that Sanatan Sanstha and its seekers are striving selflessly for more than past two decades to spread and propagate Hindu dharma to create awareness regarding spirituality, spiritual practice, culture and the Nation, in the society. Go-rakshak from Naala Sopara, Vaibhav Raut was arrested by the ATS on April 9th night,” Solanki said.
He added that out of those arrested, none are Sanatan seekers, yet shallow, baseless demands for a ban on Sanatan Sanstha are being made. “It is wrong and unfair to demand a ban on Sanatan,” he said.
Efforts to contact Naik for his comment proved futile.
