During the Sanatan Hindu Ekta Padyatra, Dhirendra Shastri (Bageshwar Dham Sarkar), along with attendees and religious leaders, administered a pledge to stand united against religious conversions and to conduct “Ghar Wapsi” of all those who have allegedly converted to other religions from Hinduism.
During the Sanatan Hindu Ekta Padyatra procession, Dhirendra Shastri (Bageshwar Dham Sarkar) addressed young children, explaining why a Hindu Rashtra is needed. He said, “We are Hindus, and our population is the largest in the country — over 100 crore Hindus live here. To protect our culture, we must make India a Hindu Rashtra.” Referring to the Delhi bomb blasts, he added, “We don’t want to witness such bombings again — that is why India must become a Hindu Rashtra.”
During the Sanatan Hindu Ekta Padyatra, monk Nagendra Maharaj urged Hindus to “wake up,” claiming that Hindus could one day be expelled from their homes as, he alleged, happened in Srinagar. He declared that those who object to Vande Mataram or Ram should “go to Pakistan or Afghanistan,” adding “the one who belongs to Ram belongs to us; whoever does not belong to Ram or Sanatan is not one of us.”
