Jai Jinendra,
As many of you know, our struggles to preserve the sanctity of Jain Tirths continue. We need to support our sadharmik brothers and sisters in this fight for justice. It is with this sense of urgency that we are going to send strongly worded letters to the following political leaders:
- The President of India, Hon. Shrimati Draupadi Murmu
- The Prime Minister of India, Hon. Shri Narendrabhai Modi
- Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Hon. Shri Bhupendra Yadav
- Chief Minister, State Government of Jharkhand, Hon. Shri Hemant Soren
- Chief Minister, State Government of Gujarat, Hon. Shri Bhupendra R. Patel
- Home Minister, State Government of Gujarat, Hon. Shri Harsh Sanghvi
To build momentum and gather more voices, we have also created a petition on Change.org. We want all of our Sangh members to sign this petition and participate in this movement to save our tirths. We will attach the signatures to our letters to further strengthen our message.
Let's join hands and make our voices heard!
Please share with maximum amount of people. Please make sure they all sign the petition.
Sincerely,
Haresh Shah
JAINA President
