There are attacks against Jain saints since few days. It is happening in Gujrat state which is traditionally a safe heaven for Jain monks and nuns. It seems that this is a planned conspiracy. There are several attacks against Jain monks even a monk is stabbed. There were several road accidents which caused fatal for the Jain monks. All these are happening at the same period which creates doubt in the minds of common Jain.
One of my friends informed me that while protesting peacefully in Bharuch police cracked down over the Jain protesters. More than 50 injured in lathi charge. Eminent social server likes of Kumarpal V Shah was arrested and held by Gujrat police.
Everybody knows that Jain community is a non violent community believing in peaceful co exixtence with all other communities in India and overseas. They never indulge in violence, nor do they break peace of a state or country. Normally they do not even protest on petty issues.
Even after a track record of non violence and peaceful co existence why the community is victim of such violence?
Why all these?
Mr. Nischal Seth, Tokyo wrote this in face book:
"In a very unfortunate event, today (01.01.2013) at about 7;30 am on NH No. 8 near Bharuch (Near Hotel Atithi between Bharuch and Asuriya Vihardham) , two Sadhu Bhagvant viz. Shri Dhyanshekar Vijayji & Shri Hastgiri Vijayji were crushed to death by a tyrant truck driver. Both sadhu bhagwants were walking on extreme left of the road side on the soil and were hit from the back giving no chance even by horn or no brake was applied. Both sahdu bhagwants have been moved to Civil Hospital at Bharuch for postmortem and their Palkhi (Antimyatra) will begin at about 12:30 hr from Civil Hospital, Bharuch.. To create awareness among all, Agnisanskar will be given at the place of accident on NH No. 8 (200 metre from Hotel Atithi from Bharuch to Vadodara - appx SIX KILOMETERS from Zadewahwar chowkdi towards Baroda)."
