Patidars will support the party that works for sanatan dharma: Association

The Patidar community will support the political party that aligns with the sanatan dharma, a senior functionary of Ahmedabad-based Vishv Umiya Foundation — the umbrella organisation of Kadva Patidars — said Sunday.

“The political party working for and with the sanatan dharma, (not only the) Vishv Umiya Foundation, but the entire Patidar society will be with that political party. Patidars will stick with the sanatan-affiliated party who are against those who have an anti-Hindu mentality. The entire Hindu Samaj will give a befitting reply to those against sanatan dharma,” foundation president R P Patel said on the sidelines of a convention held by the organisation in Banaskantha’s Palanpur.

Gujarat Health Minister Rushikesh Patel attended the event.

Health Minister Rushikesh Patel, who attended the event, said it was a matter of pride that the world’s tallest temple of Goddess Umiya is being built in Ahmedabad by Vishv Umiya Foundation at Rs 1,000 crore.

Thousands of followers in Banaskantha attended the convention held at the ‘31 villages of Kadwa Patidar Samaj Wadi’ in Palanpur. The organisation also decided to hold a rathyatra in April-May at every village-taluka level of Banaskantha.
