A ‘Hindu Rashtra’ has been a long-standing demand of right-wing groups be it the fringe groups or the chief ones. However, the demand for Hindu Rashtra has always been made on stage accompanied with the occasional hate speech.
On the occasion of the 81st birth anniversary of Jayant Athavale, the founder of Sanatan Sanstha, Hindu Rashtra Jagruti Abhiyan was organised in Solapur, Latur, Beed, Pune and Dharashiv in Maharashtra. These events were organised in various temples in these areas and pictures of the same were uploaded on the official Twitter account of Sanatan Sanstha. In these pictures many people can be seen praying in the temples and as per their own account, the people were gathered to pray for a Hindu Rashtra.
