The appeal of Shri Prakash JI (Prakash Kumar) to the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin about the oppression of Hindus in Russia

Shri Prakash JI (Prakash Kumar), public figure, President of "Center of assistance to preservation and development of Indian culture "Shri Prakash Dham" appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop Russia's oppression of believers, professing Hinduism.

According to Sri Prakash JI, on an Internet forum owned by Alexander Dvorkin (the infamous Russian sectoid, President of "Center for religious studies in the name of the Holy Martyr Irenaeus of Lyons"), have been systematically threatened him and his family, insulting him, his religion, family, and followers. In addition, Dvorkin, using your personal touch, gives the false and defamatory information about Sri Prakash JI in various media, thereby defaming his name and professed their religion – Hinduism, thus undermining stability and tolerance in society. In addition, according to Sri Prakash G., Dvorkin enjoys the personal connections in the power structures, so as to stop its activities in Russia.

"Dvorkin, apparently, has contacts with various government agencies. For example, yesterday (2.11.2017) some people in police uniform and in civilian clothes with weapons came at the same time in my apartment here in Moscow and our centre, located in the suburbs. After meeting and talking with me and the people who live in the center, they realized that we are all good, normal people. They checked everything, performed everything correctly and calmly and told me that they came from the district Department of internal Affairs. They also said that I should come to their office in order to write an explanation. I went there without our lawyer, only took with him his son. We had a nice, quiet conversation with the staff, I trusted them, wrote the explanation. After some time in came a man and began to speak so aggressively that it was for me in the highest degree surprising, and it made me absolutely stunning impression. He asked us whether we know that Russia is an Orthodox country, and told us that we shouldn't be here. When I asked him his name, he refused to name him," says Shri Prakash JI.

The case of Sri om Prakash JI has international resonance: about the persecution of Hindus, living in Russia known to the administration of Vladimir Putin, Patriarch Kirill, the Indian Embassy in Moscow, the foreign ministries of India and Russia.
