Haridwar: Preparations have started for organizing Dharma Sansad in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh. Mahamandaleshwar Annapurna Bharti responsible for organising this Niranjani Akhara has been getting death threat calls and messages. This Dharma Sansad is being organized by Sanatan Hindu Seva Sansthan on January 22-23 at Ramlila Maidan.
Confirming the same, Swami Yeti Narasimhanand Giri said, "Annapurna Bharti is the convener of the Dharma Sansad to be held in Aligarh. She was busy in her preparations, but she is being threatened over the phone by some jihadis targeting her."
He has urged the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to provide security to the Sadhvi Annapurna Bharti who is fighting for Hindutva. At the same time, he also said that they are not afraid of the jihadis threatening them.
Earlier, a video of Dharma Sansad organized in Haridwar, December 17 -19, 2021 saw several speakers making questionable comments against various communities which became viral. In one of the circulated videos of Haridwar Hate Speech, Sadhvi Annapurna, a seer and an office-bearer of the Hindu Mahasabha is heard saying "will not think for a minute and take up arms if I feel that Hinduism is in danger even if I am branded a supporter of Nathuram Godse".
