VARANASI: Swami Avimukteshwaranand, the disciple of

Shankaracharya

of Jyotish and Sharda Dwarka peeth Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, on Sunday, released a

manifesto while claiming that it would restore the politics of Sanatani tradition.

The 27-point manifesto appeals to end land dispute for construction of temple at Ramjanmabhoomi in Ayodhya, boycotting all parties which fail to check cow slaughter, ensuring uninterrupted flow of water in the Ganga, formation of national board on temples, and restoration of section 377 of IPC. Avimukteshwaranand was in limelight for opening a front against Kashi Vishwanath Dham corridor project alleging that many temples had been destroyed for it.

“The birthplace of Lord Ram can’t be changed so people of other community should not be rigid on constructing their place of worship when their theories have been rejected in court. They are not withdrawing their claim on Lord Ram’s birthplace due to pressure of their community. They should handover the land to Hindus or the government should frame a law to pave the way for temple construction,” he added.

“The issue of restoration of section 377 and 497 of IPC has been included in the manifesto as there is no space for homosexuality and adultery in Indian society,” he said. The seer said uninterrupted flow in the Ganga is must for its existence and added that formation of a national temple board is important to protect and conserve temples, religious sites and properties. The manifesto also demands withdrawal of decision to acquire temples, equal treatment to all religions and protection of Sabrimala temple’s tradition. He also demanded restoration of temples damaged in the name of Kashi Vishwanath Dham (corridor) project.

The manifesto mentions complete ban on cow slaughter, and a personal law board for Hindus.

Avimukteshwaranand said that the manifesto was prepared on the basis of outcome of Param Dharm Sansads organised in Kashi and Prayagraj and added that more points can be included in the proposed meeting of seers in Varanasi on April 21.
