Sobhan Sarkar challenges Modi to open debate, Modi tweets, I respect him as a saint

Sadhu Sobhan Sarkar's letter to Modi written on his behalf by his disciple Omji, was a virtual tirade against the BJP.



The letter says: "Respected Narendra bhai, while welcoming you to the soil of Kanpur, I want to say with all humility that you have violated the dignity of a saint in your hurry to attack the central govt and Shrimati Sonia Gandhi.

"Satya Sankalp Sant Shri Swami Sobhan Sarkar has seen the dream of making India the world's most powerful nation. To fulfil this dream, Swamiji had taken a vow to provide India with gold reserves more than the combined gold reserves of UK and USA.  That's why he sent letters to the central govt, state govt and the district administration requesting that a place in Daundia Kheda be surveyed by GSI. If proved by GSI, then excavations be started and the gold be deposited in the treasury of central govt.
