Ram Dev’s mission to save Ganga from pollution has brought the Hindu and Muslim communities together. Both Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Muslim clerics have come forward to support his campaign. The campaign was started on September 18, 2008 in a meeting of a community called Ganga Raksha Manch at Kanpur.
The eminent leaders of both the communities like Swami Chinmayanand and Sadhvi Rithambara along with Muslim clerics like Nawab Mir Jafar came together on the stage to lend their support to Baba Ram Dev’s campaign.
Swami Ram Dev further appealed to the Government of India to declare the holy river Ganga a national heritage and make stringent laws to get it free from any sort of pollution. He also made a great appeal to the masses of the country to keep their sacred river clean and free from pollution. The leaders of both the major communities have decided to meet the Prime Minister of India on September 20, 2008 at Delhi.
