Setusamudram project a conspiracy against Hindus: Puri seer

Puri, Sep 15 (UNI) Puri Goberdhan Peeth Sankaracharya Swamy Neeschalananda Saraswati today alleged that the attempt to destroy the Ramsethu for the Setusamudram shipping canal project was a ''conspiracy'' against Hindu ethos and religious beliefs.

In a statement here, the Puri seer, quoting Hindu religious scripts, said Lord Ram had constructed the Setu in Tretya Yug to reach Lanka to free his wife Sita.

The Shankaracharya said if anyone tried to destroy the Setu, the person should be ousted from the country.

He urged all the other Sankaracharyas to fight against such move.
