A group of religious leaders from across the state has welcomed the state government’s decision to abrogate Gujarat Public Trust Act.

The group of sants, mahants and heads of religious trusts headed by Mahamandaleshwar Bharti Bapu met Chief Minister Narendra Modi today and greeted him for the decision. Minister of State for Law Padipsinh Jadeja, Deputy Chairman of State’s Planning Commission Bhupendrasinhji Chudasama, Chairman of Gujarat Pavitra Yatradham Vikas Board Mahendra Trivedi and Mr. Bharat Pandya was also present on the occasion.

Chief Minister said the law was passed in assembly only after elaborate discussions and with the consensus of all the political parties. Even though there are people who spread lies to defame the state government. The state government approach has always been to discuss with all the stakeholders before implementing the laws related with the good of people. There was nothing against the good of people in the said law. The state government takes the view of religious leaders as the view of panch and so it has decided to abrogate the law.

The religious leaders expressed their determination for giving full support to Mr. Modi who is ever endeavoring for the development of Gujarat.
