Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bageshwar Dham pandit Dhirendra Shastri expressed concerns over alleged mass migration of Hindus from West Bengal’s Murshidabad after violence erupted over Waqf Amendment Law.
Shastri said that Hindus are being forced to migrate in West Bengal and if such a situation persists, the day is not far where the migration will grip other states like MP, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
"I have heard that Hindus are migrating from there (Murshidabad). If this continues, then do not be shocked if you Hindus migrating from Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat,” he said.
Shastri added, “Hindus are scared. It's all being done with pre-planning. It's unfortunate for the country and especially for Hindus, as the Hindus are not united. But, I believe all of this will stop soon."
