Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has appealed to his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi to initiate stringent action against those responsible for allegedly attacking a Jain seer at Girnar.

"The entire state, including me, is anguished over the incident involving Jain Muni Prabal Sagar at Girnar town in Gujarat", Chouhan said in a letter to Modi.

The seer was allegedly attacked by some unidentified persons last week reportedly with sharp weapons.

"I appeal to you to take prompt action as per the feelings of followers of Jainism and Munishri against the accused persons", he said.

All jain should unite and oppose such kind of attack. Jain dharm is based on non voilence and the people who attacked Jain monk should be punished.

wait a minute..something is fishy here. Did the govt apprehend those attackers yet? They must be punished so as not have guts to repeat this incident..If it was a muslim Imam, in our banana republic this would be headline news. Simply unacceptable. Karmik

The entire Jain Community is shocked over inflicting Hinsa (voilence) on followers of Ahinsa. !Thanks to MP CM for joining the community in condemning the same and appealing to Gujrat CM for taking prompt action against the accused persons.
