Gandhinagar: Vishwa Hindu Parishad which functions under Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has today in a statement stated that the attempts to arrive at compromise in Salangpur Hanuman issue are underway and the solution will arrive soon.

VHP’s statement shows that it is very worried about divisions among Hindus (Vadtal Swaminarayan sect vs others) over this issue. VHP has said that it believes in unifying various beliefs and opinions prevailing within Hindu faith. VHP further stated that Hindu samaj is capable to solve its internal issues. VHP has hoped for saints to sit together and discuss the way out.

It’s worth noting that Ashok Rawal, secretary of VHP Gujarat had met with the saints of Salangpur Hanuman mandir, but the saints said they function as per the orders from their headquarters at Vadtal.

Vadtal Swaminarayan sect which is facing heat for distorting Hanuman ji and sanatan Hindu faith in murals carved at Salangpur has been strong supporter of VHP and ruling BJP government. Number of VHP and RSS camps have been organized using Vadtal mandir’s infrastructure. Nautam Swami of Vadtal gadi has been staunch supporter of BJP, VHP, RSS and Hindutva movement. However he is facing heat from the saints of Sanatan Hindu faith presently for his adamant attitude towards the murals issue and sectional views.

Sadhus of Sanatan faith are going to meet and agitate over this issue independently, keeping the VHP aside, through Sant Samiti and Akhada Parishad.
