Implement a permanent National Sadhu Vihar Safety Policy
The Issue
Stop Highway Cruelty: Protect Barefoot Jain Saints and Matajis Now!
The Goal (मुख्य मांग):
We demand a strict "National Sadhu Vihar Safety Policy" from the Government, Supreme Court, and Police to legally protect barefoot Jain Monks and Nuns on high-speed highways.
Why This Matters (यह क्यों जरूरी है):
Imagine walking barefoot with no phone, vehicle, or defense, only to be crushed to death by a speeding truck. This is the horrifying reality for our revered Jain saints today.
India’s highways have become blood-stained death traps. The nation recently wept over the brutal death of Munishri OmkarShekhar Vijay Ji Marasa, mowed down during his morning Vihar. Just days prior, Aryika Shri Shrutmati Mataji and Aryika Shri Upshammati Mataji were tragically killed in a horrific road accident.
Every year, reckless heavy vehicles and total administrative blindness tear away our spiritual anchors. To scream against this silence, millions of Jains recently held nationwide Silent Protest Marches (मौन जुलूस). Protecting their lives is a fundamental human and constitutional right! How long will we let our saints bleed on the asphalt?
Our 3 Simple Demands (3 स्पष्ट मांगें):
- Flashing Warning Signs: Install high-visibility LED signs: "Slow Down – Barefoot Jain Saints / Matajis Ahead."
- Police Escorts (Human Shields): Provide mandatory morning highway patrol guards (4:00 AM to 8:00 AM) to shield walking ascetics.
- Severe Punishment: Treat reckless driving near walking pilgrims as a non-bailable criminal offense with immediate vehicle seizure.
Do not wait for another tragedy. Your single signature can shield a holy soul. Sign and Share NOW!
