Digital Khoypaya Kendras to Aid Pilgrims

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) Dharma Sansad at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj is set to be stormy as prominent akharas plan to press for the constitution of a Sanatan Board, seek the abolition of Waqf Board and are likely to take a stand on Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's opinion on Mandir-Masjid disputes in Uttar Pradesh and the rest of the country.

Recently, Bhagwat had advised Hindus not to search for a temple below every mosque. The RSS chief was referring to the claim made by a section of the Hindus that Hari Har Mandir lies below the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal.

The VHP's Dharma Sansad to be held in February will be among the most keenly observed events at the Mahakumbh starting on January 13.

"Several important issues will be taken up at the Dharma Sansad in Prayagraj. We will demand to constitute a Sanatan Board. It is high time that the Hindus have their own board to decide issues related with their religion," said Yatindranand Giri, Mahamandleshwar of the Juna Akhara.

However, the agenda of the Dharma Sansad is yet to be finalised, he added.

According to senior VHP leaders, a proposal to abolish the Waqf Board will also come up at the Dharma Sansad.
