Varanasi-based Gandhian institute to start ‘Virasat Bachao Nyay Yatra’ against demolition
The HinduSarva Seva Sangh, a Gandhian organisation whose twelve buildings were demolished by the Varanasi administration in an anti-encroachment drive last month, will start a month-long ‘Virasat Bachao Nyay Yatra’ in Varanasi asking the State government to apologise for the demolition. Gandhian activists from across the country will participate in the yatra, set to commence from Vinoba Bhave’s birth anniversary on September 11 and going up to Jayaprakash Narayan’s birth anniversary on October 11. It is named as ‘Virasat Bachao Nyay Yatra’, as the government by taking the step of demolishing the buildings, declaring our land papers as illegal in a direct way said that icons like Vinoba ji and JP ji committed a fraud. The district administration in Varanasi on August 12 carried out demolition of 12 buildings spanning across an area of 12.8 acres, which housed a library, guest house, khadi store, and meeting hall apart from the Sarva Seva Sangh Prakashan office and has over the decades popularised the thoughts of Gandhi and his followers including Vinoba Bhave and Jayaprakash Narayan.
