The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Samajwadi Party, in Maharashtra have proposed that Sanatan Sanstha an organisation committed to the
protection of Dharma be banned.

Why has the ban been proposed

Shri. Sharad Pawar, the president of NCP and Shri. RR Patil, Home minister Maharashtra along with a few other members of the ruling party have come out
strongly saying,

Sanatan Sanstha not involved in any unlawful activities :

A. We would like to make it very clear that perhaps on account of two incidents Govt. of Maharashtra has sent the proposal to impose ban on our
Sanstha. However, it may be noted that Sanatan Sanstha or any of its office bearers are not involved, directly or indirectly, in those incidents and
were not at an accused in the cases in question.

B. It is pertinent to note that Maharashtra Government tried to implicate all the accused in the said case for the offences under the provisions of
Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act knowing it fully well that there is absolutely no evidence against the accused to charge them under those sections
of different Acts, more particularly under the provisions of Unlawful Activities ( Prevention ) Act, 1967. It may be noted that the Sessions Judge has
made the following scathing observations in his Judgment in respect of Sessions Case No. 660 of 2008 which pertains to the bomb blast at Gadakari
Rangayatan, Thane, Maharashtra. The Judgement delivered on 30.8.2011 clearly shows that the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) at the instance of Maharashtra
Government filed the charge sheet without sufficient evidence and with ulterior motive.

On page 117 of the judgement, Hon.’ble Justice mentioned, “It is nowhere in the case of the prosecution that the accused by their acts intended to
threaten or likely to threaten unity, integrity, security or sovereignty of India. The words ‘strike terror’ signifies the meaning “hit hard to create
extreme fear”. “Therefore Section 15 of the Unlawful Activities ( Prevention ) Act, 1967 is not applicable”.

On page 128 of the said Judgment para 142 reads that “The act of crime proved as against accused cannot be termed as terrorist act within the meaning
of Sec. 15 of Unlawful Activities ( Prevention ) Act, 1967 nor the sanction obtained by the prosecution to prosecute the accused under the said
provisions is legal and valid”.

Thus, it can be seen that till date neither Sanatan Sanstha nor any of its office bearers are accused of any offenses whatsoever as the activities of
the Sanatan Sanstha are always carried out strictly according to law.

The actual reason

• With elections around the corner Shri. Sharad Pawar and Shri RR Patil, are looking for votes from the Muslim community through a policy of
  appeasement.
• In fact Shri. Sharad Pawar and Shri. RR Patil have no case and are just trying to make some Hindu organisation a scapegoat to appease the
  Muslims.

% of Muslims in Maharastra – 10.6% – approximately 10 million potential voters.

Who is Sanatan, HJS and who is Simi ?

Just for the home minister’s information …

Comparison between Sanatan Sanstha, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and SIMI

According to Maharashtra Govt. Sanatan and HJS work is Anti-National and similar to SIMI. So they are planning to ban them. Following comparison chart
between Sanatan Sanstha, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and SIMI (Student Islamic Movement of India) will give you a clear view whether Sanatan and HJS is
anti-national like SIMI or Pro-National ?

What will happen if the ban gets passed?

Physical level – If the Congress government considered Sanatan Sanstha and HJS which are engaged in the mission of nation and Dharma with the
anti-national and heretic terrorists and brings a ban, it will be a matter of honour for both these organisations. The name of the above two
organisations will be written in history with golden letters as the ban is for its ‘Hindutva’ stance and at the same time the name of the Congress will
be registered as anti-National and heretic. The growth of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh after the ban was remarkable. Similarly the noble task of Sanatan
for protection of nation and awakening of Dharma will also grow by leaps and bounds!’

What can you do to prevent the proposed ban from going forward?

1. Participate in online drive on Sanatan.org
2. Tell your friends about this incident and suggest them to send maximum letters to Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Governor of Maharashtra, President

3. Give idea about this ban to local Pro-Hindu leaders of Political parties, Hindu organizations as well as Spiritual leaders of local Sects.

4. Ask Pro-Hindu MLA’s and MP’s to raise this issue in Assembly.

5. If you are Internet savvy spread this message to maximum Groups/Communities.

Let it not be said that “Hindus stood by and watched”
