CLP Goa suggests ban on Sanatan Saunstha

Though the Congress-led government is averse to banning ‘Sanatan Saunstha’ till the investigation into the Margao blast is complete, members of Congress Legislative Party (CLP) in Goa today favoured a ban on the outfit, accusing it of fostering communal forces in the state.

“Activities of Sanatan Saunstha were discussed in the CLP meeting. Many members suggested that the institution be banned,” CLP spokesman Mauvin Godinho told reporters at Chief Minister’s official residence this afternoon.

The CLP discussed the October 16 Margao blast and a conspiracy to trigger series of blasts across the state on Diwali eve.

Chief Minister Digamber Kamat had earlier said the ban on Sanatan could be thought about only after investigation in the case is over.

Godinho said the members demanded stern action against those involved in Margao blast, which was a conspiracy to rip apart the communal fabric of the state.
