Raj Shekhawat’s Strong Warning at Kshatriya Unity Conference: “Don’t Force Us, We Will March to the Assembly & Enter CM’s House”
After the peaceful conclusion of the Kshatriya movement in Gujarat, the Kshatriya community has once again united on a common platform. A grand Kshatriya Unity Conference was held in Kunjad, Ahmedabad, where leaders from various Kshatriya sub-groups, including Garasdar, Kathi, Karadiya, and Thakor, participated.
The conference was convened to respond to what they claim were derogatory remarks by the BJP government regarding the dignity of Kshatriyas, attacks on the symbol of their pride—the saffron turban, and economic pressures faced by community leaders. Additionally, the event addressed the perceived political neglect of the Kshatriya community.
The conference was organized by Raj Shekhawat, the state president of Kshatriya Karni Sena in Gujarat. During the event, Raj Shekhawat showered attendees with rose petals as a sign of respect. Prominent Kshatriya leaders from Saurashtra, including P.T.
Jadeja and women’s leader Padminiba Wala, attended the event. Hindu nationalist leader Rana, representing the Hindu Sanatan Sangh, was also present at the gathering.
Raj Shekhawat Issues Warning to Police
During the Kshatriya Unity Conference, Raj Shekhawat issued a stern warning to the police and administration, stating, “Listen carefully, do not force us. If you do, we will march from here to the Legislative Assembly.
Do not force us, or we will enter the Chief Minister’s house. Do not force us, or we will enter the Home Minister’s house. Do not force us, or there will be a revolution—revolution. The police department must listen carefully.”
Leaders from Various Kshatriya Sub-Groups Attend Unity Conference
A Kshatriya Unity Conference was organized at the Khodiyar Farm near Kunjad village. The event saw the participation of leaders and activists from various Kshatriya sub-groups, including Garasdar, Kathi, Karadiya, Nadoda, Hati, Mahiya, Jagirdar, Khant, Wagher, Palvi, Thakor, and others. These leaders gathered to discuss the unity and welfare of the Kshatriya community.
Attempt to Showcase Kshatriya Unity
The primary objective of this event was to bring all Kshatriyas together on a single platform to demonstrate their unity to the political parties across India. The gathering aimed to respond to the derogatory comments about Kshatriya dignity, attacks on the saffron turban—a symbol of pride, assaults on the businesses of community leaders, and the political neglect faced by the community.
The conference was organized as a democratic response to these issues, with Gujarat as the focal point of this battle for self-respect, especially considering the failure in the recent Lok Sabha elections in Gujarat.
Kshatriya Unity for Protecting Dignity and Securing a Bright Future
In a call for unity, Kshatriyas gathered in large numbers at this conference to protect their future dignity. The goal was to raise their collective voice with a conch sound to secure justice and rights, ensuring a prosperous future for the Kshatriya community.
The gathering aimed to prevent the repetition of past mistakes and to deliver various demands related to the bright future of Kshatriyas to political parties. The event emphasized the importance of unity and proactive steps for safeguarding the community’s interests.
