Hindus need to get united and answer those who talk about the eradication of Sanatan Dharma – Chetan Rajhans, National Spokesperson, Sanatan Sanstha

Talking about this Dindi, the National Spokesperson of Sanatan Sanstha Chetan Rajhans said, “Sanatan Sanstha has been selflessly serving Sanatan Hindu Dharma for the last 25 years. Sanatan Sanstha has consistently worked for religious unity and protection of religion by standing up against the challenges faced by Sanatan Dharma, refuting accusations against Sanatan Dharma, encouraging Hindus to practice religion by teaching religion, and bringing everyone together. Today anyone gets up and talks about eradicating Sanatan Dharma by comparing Sanatan Dharma to dengue-malaria. Hindus need to unite and respond to it. For this, on the occasion of the silver jubilee of the Sanatan Sanstha, thousands of Hindus have come together and drawn ‘Sanatan Gaurav Dindi’.”
