Haridwar:Mahabharat fame and a well-known artist in the TV world, Puneet Issar posted a video message on social media demanding the withdrawal of cases registered against the saints and the ongoing SIT investigation in the Haridwar hate speech incident. Issar said things that were said during the dharma sansad (religious assembly) by some of the religious workers have been misinterpreted and presented in a wrong manner, leading to FIR and action against the saints.
"I just want to say that this saint community always use to work for human and social welfare and lead a path for society. Whenever the country or the religion faced any calamity, the saint community came forward and to help the society. So I just want to appeal to the government to resolve the matter of this Dharma Sansad peacefully as soon as possible. Because for every Indian, Hindu and believer on Sanatan Dharma this saint community is revered to them."
