The Dharma Sansad is being organised by the VHP and Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt, Mr. Gopal said. He said that though Amarnath yatra in Kashmir continued despite the attack by extremists. The government should hand over the security of the yatra to the army. He blamed the SDPI and PFI for the unrest in Dakshina Kannada district. The police had failed to arrest the assailants in the RSS activist Sharath Madiwala case. Instead, cases had been slapped against various Hindu groups, he said.
