Mangaluru Arya Samaj condemns assault on Swamy Agnivesh
Mangaluru, July 18: The Mangaluru Arya Samaj has condemned the attack on Swami Agnivesh who has been toiling for the welfare of the tribal communities, by a team of youths in Jharkhand.
Speaking to reporters at the Arya Samaj here on Wednesday, Samaj president Dinakar Shetty said that the attack was systematically planned to tarnish the image of Swami Agnivesh who has been striving hard for the welfare of tribals, poor and backward classes in the society. The Swami Agnivesh has respected the mankind and been treating all equally. For no reason, he would become the anti-Hindu. But some miscreants have attacked on him which is an insult to the Hindu society, he said.
Both Jharkhand and the central governments should take legal action against the accused immediately. Swami Agnivesh should be given police protection. Such kind of inhuman attacks on an aged swamiji would not bring laurels to Hindus. All Arya Samajas in the country were called to protest this attack against the swamiji. If the governments failed to arrest the accused immediately, they would intensify their protest across the country, he warned.
Arya Samaj members Indranath, Deepak Manjeshwar, Dhananjay Arya, Harinakshi, Purohit Lokesh Thokkottu and others were present.
Protest in front of DC office on July 21
Condemning the attack on the swamiji and demanding the arrest of the accused, the Arya Samaj members would stage a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on July 21 at 11 am. A memorandum would be submitted to both Jharkhand and central governments. They would also prevail upon the central government to use Goonda Act against the accused, he said.
