<b>Seers join hands to beat âterrorâ slur</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hindu religious leaders have resolved to launch a nation-wide agitation on the lines of the âAmarnath movementâ to oppose the UPA Governmentâs design to link the majority community to terrorism.
A congregation of hundreds of sadhus and members of the Sangh Parivar on Sunday also decided in Panipat (Haryana) to form a Dharma Raksha Manch (Save-Religion Front) to spearhead this agitation.
âThis front will be a conglomeration of over 10,000 socio-religious organisations within the country. The agitation will be in the hands of apolitical people, as was the case of the agitation over the Amarnath land controversy,â VHP general secretary Praveen Togadia told The Pioneer.
The proposed âmass movementâ would kickstart with hundreds of sadhus and sants staging a demonstration in the national Capital on November 26. Leaders of the Sangh Parivar would then spread out in different parts of the country for building an opinion against the âdefamation campaignâ being run by the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would remain a behind-the-scenes player since the Sangh leaders do not want to give a âpolitical colourâ to the movement. There were also suggestions to continue this movement up to the next general elections for mobilising public opinion against the UPA Government.

Good, they should kick out criminal Congress and re-create independent investigation agencies to get back some credibilty.
