From Pramod Gokhale, Solihull

This is to voice my concern and protest against the proposed destruction of the ''Ramsetu'' to create a canal for (so-called) economic reasons.

First and foremost, this is a gross attack on the tolerant Hindus and their faith in Ram, from a government which is, to put it mildly, very anti-Hindu. Secularism has been only on paper in the rules of the Constitution and has been used as a weapon to tread on various Hindu beliefs over the years.

Secondly, when there is enough scientific evidence of the facts as to what the destruction of the bridge would bring to the environment (more so in these days when everyone else is so concerned about environment), the Government of India is going backwards and helping in destroying the livelihood of Indian fishermen, the natural ecosystem that is sustained around the bridge and making our borders more vulnerable to the terrorist attacks.

It is high time that the Government realises that the days of harassing Hindus and their beliefs and taking them from granted are over - WE CANNOT LET SOME BUREAUCRAT sitting in his posh office take decisions against the will of what the majority of the Hindus want.

STOP THIS NONSENSE of giving an explanation of Cost Benefit Analysis and economic advantages for destructing the Ramsetu- it is now public truth that this is definitely an ATTACK on Hinduism and their beliefs built over the generations and a huge INSULT of Ramayana and Ram AND WE WILL NOT let this HAPPEN without a fight.

Jai Shree Ram

Namaste
