Panaji: The impending
demolition of Russia's biggest Vedic cultural centre in St
Petersburg has triggered an angry reaction in Goa.
The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has petitioned the Goa
representative of the Russian consulate in Mumbai to convey its
anger against the demolition.
"More than a matter of law, it is a matter of religious sentiment
which the Russian government has to honour," HJS convenor Jayesh
Thali said in his memorandum handed over to Vikram Varma, who
represents the Russian consular authorities.
The Vedic cultural centre, which promotes ancient Indian culture
and Sanskrit language located in President Vladimir Putin's
hometown, follows a local court's directive.
