- 19 Dec 2016
In a meeting held at the Jain Temple in Gowalia Tank area, with members of the Jain community, Naypadmasagar Maharajsaheb who is said to be among the most politically active sadhus in the community stated that it is compulsory for all Jains to vote in the upcoming BMC elections to be held in 2017.
Naypadmasagar who is in the city till BMC elections held a meeting with members of the Jain community on Thursday night when the decision was taken. “In our meeting it was decided that all Jains should compulsorily vote during the elections. Not voting is like Dharma Droh (against righteousness) and Desh Droh (against country),” said Naypadmasagar.
In the meet it was decided that “good” candidates from all political parties should be voted for. When asked if voters can vote anyone including none-of-the-above (NOTA) option, Naypadmagasar said, “It is their choice but they should go out and vote. Our theme is Swach Mumbai Samrudh Mumbai.”
Sadhus like Naypadmasagar have been of the opinion that Jains are under represented in politics and hence their say does not carry as much weight in the decision making process. The community wants Jain candidates from different parties in the fray.
