All eyes on Dharma Sansad as contentious issues likely to be raised
Hindustan Times Lucknow|January 10, 2025
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) Dharma Sansad at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj is set to be stormy as prominent akharas plan to press for the constitution of a Sanatan Board, seek the abolition of Waqf Board and are likely to take a stand on Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's opinion on Mandir-Masjid disputes in Uttar Pradesh and the rest of the country.

LUCKNOW:

Recently, Bhagwat had advised Hindus not to search for a temple below every mosque. The RSS chief was referring to the claim made by a section of the Hindus that Hari Har Mandir lies below the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal.

The VHP's Dharma Sansad to be held in February will be among the most keenly observed events at the Mahakumbh starting on January 13.
