Haridwar, 22 February (HS): With the joint efforts of Shri Devotthan Seva Samiti and Punyadayi Seva Samiti Trust, the ashes of 400 Hindu-Sikhs brought from Pakistan were immersed in the Ganga at Satighat in Kankhal with Vedic rituals and a stream of 100 liters of milk.

The ashes were brought by Ramnath Mishra, the head priest of the Panchmukhi Hanuman Temple in Karachi.

Mahant Ramnath Maharaj told that he had brought ashes from Pakistan in the last 2011 and 2016. Now once again he has reached Haridwar with the ashes of about 400 Hindu brothers from the cremation ground in Karachi, Pakistan.

The ashes of 400 Hindus were waiting for salvation for the last nine years. He said that this time he has also got a chance to go to the Maha Kumbh organized in Prayagraj. He has received brotherly love in India. However, he demanded from both the governments that they should give visas to Pakistani Hindus for the Char Dham Yatra in India and to visit Ram Mandir.

National General Secretary and Yatra Coordinator of Shri Devotthan Seva Samiti Vijay Sharma said that Mahant Ramnath Maharaj of Shri Panchmukhi Hanuman Temple in Karachi has been associated with our organization in 2011 and 2016.

Yatra Coordinator Vijay Sharma said that under the guidance of Ramnath Maharaj, ashes of 135 people were immersed in Ganga in 2011 and ashes of 160 people were immersed in Ganga in 2016. On 3 December, we received the ashes from Attari border and on 4 December, we conducted Garuda Paath for 13 days at Nigambodh Ghat, while on 21 February we reached Nishkam Seva Trust from Delhi. Today the ashes of 400 Hindu-Sikhs were immersed in the Ganga with due rituals.
