Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Reacting on Delhi's Red Fort car blast, Bageshwar Dham’s Dhirendra Krishna Shastri called for the Hindu unity. “Not just 8, but 80,000 people would die, if Hindus don’t unite,” Shastri warned.
Addressing the gathering during 'Sanatan Ekta Padyatra' in Haryana, Shastri called for Hindu unity, saying, “If Hindus stand united, such blasts will not happen. Why is it that the same community’s name always appears in such incidents? If Hindus do not unite, the situation could worsen.”
