THREE PROFESSORS of Banaras Hindu University, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth and Sampurnanand Sanskrit University, on Friday, sat on a hunger strike at Bharat Mata Mandir to protest the washing of Sankat Mochan Temple after UPCC chief Salman Khurshid’s visit there on Thursday.
Prof Satish Rai (MGKV), Prof Rakesh Pandey (BHU) and Prof Harik Kanti Chakravorty (SSU) sat on a hunger strike to protest the act of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh volunteers who washed Sankat Mochan Temple with Ganga jal on Thursday.
Prof Satish Rai said that this act of RSS volunteers was against the Indian culture.
He demanded the RSS volunteers to request pardon for their act.
District Congress Committee president Satish Chaubey also joined the dharna.
Meanwhile, former State Finance Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Cantonment Assembly constituency, Harish Chandra Srivastava demanded imposition of President’s rule in Uttar Pradesh as the State government was unable to manage the law and order properly.
He said that terrorist acts were reigning supreme in the entire State whereas the state government seemed helpless to curb them.
He said, if the State government had got the Dashashwamedh Ghat bomb blast probed properly then this incident would not have occurred.
