Varanasi: The VHP on Sunday said that Hindus will not allow the destruction of the Ram Sethu and are ready to sacrifice their lives for its safety. Hindus are ready to sacrifices their lives for the safety of the Ram Sethu as it is related to their sentiments, VHP working president Ashok Singhal told a gathering after performing puja of the ‘stone’ brought from Rameshwaram at the Dharm Sangh compound here.

A huge demonstration would be organised at Delhi in January next year to protest against the Centre’s move to destroy the Ram Sethu, Singhal said. Over 20 lakh Ram ‘bhaktas’ would participate in the demonstration.

Prior to it, he said Ramshila yatra will be taken out across the country from November 20 to December 20 to draw people’s attention.

Criticising the search committee formed by the Centre in this regard, Singhal said most of the members of the panel were “against Hindus and their culture hence nothing favourable was possible from the committee”. PTI
