Global Hindu Heritage Foundation was started in 2006 to free Hindu Temples from government control and preserve, promote, and protect Sanatana Dharma. When you were elected as MLA and appointed Deputy Chief Minister, GHHF and every Hindu was excited and enthusiastic, thinking that a true Hindu surfaced in Bharat to protect Sanatana Dharma. Your speeches inspired many Hindus who believed they may have seen a true Sanatini. 
            Many of your speeches still ring in the ears of many Hindus. You have become a talk of the Hindu community across the globe. They even memorized your statements with so much faith. They defended you in all the discussions by saying he is the only one with guts, courage, and bravery who proudly announced that he is an unabashed Hindu.
•         You called for forming a 'Sanatana Dharma Protection Board' at both the national and state levels to safeguard the principles of Sanatana Dharma and ensure its preservation across the country.
•         You mentioned, "There should be non-cooperation with those who spread hatred against Sanatana Dharma." 
•         A strong national Act is required to protect Sanatana Dharma and prevent actions that harm its beliefs. This Act should be enacted immediately and uniformly enforced across Bharat.
•         In the 'Varahi' declaration, you called upon Sanatanis (Hindus) to unite and transcend regional, linguistic, and other divides to stand against the attacks on Sanatana Dharma. 
•         You proposed a Sanatana Dharma Certification system to ensure the purity of materials used in offerings and prasadams at all temples across India.
You even stated, “If my Sanatana dharma is disturbed, I will come out. I will fight and if necessary, I will sacrifice my life …. "Even if I lose my post as Deputy Chief Minister, I will not hesitate, I will go to any length to protect Dharma."
MEMO ISSUED ON February 10, 2025
MEMO No 271264 issued by K. Anand, the Commissioner of Panchayat Raj and Rural Development (PR&RD), has directed all District Panchayat Officers across the state’s 26 districts to investigate to find out whether the churches in their district were constructed with permission or without permission. If the churches are operating without permission, the Commissioner instructed them to take legal action per the Rules related to Andhra Pradesh Gram Panchayat Land Development (Layout and Building) Rules 2002. 
            If Churches are operating illegally and constructed without permission from proper authorities such as the District Collector, they should be removed as per G.O 67 and 376 issued on November 29, 2012. This is the law of Andhra Pradesh under the aegis of Panchayat Raj and the Rural Development Department. You have every right to enforce the law to remove all illegal Churches. 
SHOCKING - Memo Withdrawn
Within a few days, on March 5, 2025, the Commissioner of PR & RD issued another memo withdrawing the original order. It simply stated,” Based on the above matter, this secretariat is withdrawing the Memo No 2712164/CPR&RD/D8/2024.”
            Unprecedented pressure has played to influence the Department and Pawan Kalyan to withdraw the Memo. As much as he appreciated the richness of Sanatana Dharma and as much as he wanted to protect it, if he had to agree to withdraw the Memo abruptly, one can imagine the untold, indefinable, and grueling pressure put on him to accept the withdrawal.
How many Churches are there in Andhra Pradesh? How many are built illegally?
As you are aware, there are more than 10,000 churches in 2021. As Covid-19 support, the Jagan Government gave one-time financial aid to 29,000 pastors from the unorganized churches and prayer halls. It seems that there are 40,000 pastors and 4.5 lakh unofficial pastors.
Although we do not have an accurate number of churches in Andhra Pradesh, there may be as many as 12,000 churches in 2025. 
            If we want to know how many Churches there are in Andhra Pradesh, the best thing is to instruct all Collectors to provide information on how many Churches were given in their respective districts. Every government wants to know accurate information on any given matter. We always collect information for the accuracy and protection of the structures. 
Not a single Church is built with Permission in Tirupati
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation requested the Chittoor Collector, Tirupati Urban Development Authorities, and Mandal Officer in 2021 using the Right to Information Act to send a list of Churches permitted to be built in Tirupati. They all said they had not been permitted to build in Tirupati.
            About 100 Churches in Tirupati have been operated for years without proper authorization. They did not get permission to build. That means every Church you see is built illegally.
            Is there any LAW and ORDER in Andhra Pradesh that allows these Churches under their nose and in front of their eyes? What a pity.
WE REQUEST PANCHAYAT RAJ Department the following:
1)     Remove Illegal Churches.
Please instruct all the District Collectors to send you reports indicating how many Churches were permitted to be built. As you already know, Christians do not get permission because they play the VOTE BANK politics game. Politicians fall prey to their deception, cheat, and take bribes. Probably, you know by now how politicians act toward Christians and Muslims. 
            Sorry to say that we Hindus are ready to sacrifice our Sanatana Dharma and stab her mercilessly by promoting illegal activities of other religions. Our politicians go as low as possible, bend as much as needed, and attack Hindu Mata as much as required to please the other two religions.
            In the next decade or so, Hindus may not even be able to celebrate their festivals as you have seen in Raya Choti in December as what happened to Ayyappa devotees and recently to Sri Veerabhadra Swamy procession.
 
            Dear PAWAN Garu: How long will you remain SILENT?
 
2)      Remove all Loudspeakers
Many Churches and Mosques have loudspeakers installed, and they blast in high volume either their prayers or speeches, creating chaos in the villages. Many people, especially children and seniors, cannot do their work, sleep, or even talk in their own houses because of the LOUD noise.
Muslims pray loudly in the villages and even in major cities, and they do Azaan five times a day. That is even against their religion: Allah says, ‘Do not make your prayer loud. Don't slow it down. Seek a way between it'' (Isra 110).
Christians installed loudspeakers in every church and play their speeches, confessions, and prayers so loud for hours that nobody can rest or have peace of mind; even the health of people is affected. Some of them may even experience anxiety and stress. 
Christians and Muslims defy the Noise Pollution Act, which specifies the noise level to be at 55 decibels during the daytime and 45 at night. Any violation may result in heavy fines and the repossession of the sound emitting device.
As Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis stated you should announce that any violation of prescribed noise limits—55 decibels during the day and 45 decibels at night—will result in the permanent revocation of loudspeaker permits. He also said, “If police fail to enforce noise regulations, they too will face consequences.”
            No department is monitoring and taking appropriate action to cease the equipment that emits more noise than is expected. Police Officers do not act even if the villagers complain.
3)      STOP the Abuse of Atrocities Act
 
The Atrocities Act is a curse of the nation. It is a blot in India. This act is abused daily to silence the people who may have legitimate complaints. SC Communities takes advantage of this act and files cases against people who might complain about noise pollution. Instead of acting against the Churches and Mosques, they file fake cases against the so-called upper caste. 
            The original Atrocities Act allowed Police to file a case against a person without ever investigating whether there is any justification. After about 35 years of this Act, the Supreme Court acknowledged the abuse of this system.
            Please make sure that the Atrocities Act is not abused, and a certain level of morality is maintained by the Police.
 
4)      STOP lawlessness in the State.
 
First, we request you to reconsider the withdrawal of the Memo that required the District Collectors to collect the information about the construction of Churches whether they were given permission or not.  What is wrong with being legal and following the rule of law?
            Why was the Memo withdrawn? Hindus would like to ask you to explain why you withdrew.
            Law and order are the foundation upon which civilized societies are built. They maintain stability, protect rights, and ensure justice. 
            How long are Hindu politicians going to turn their eyes away from the reality, from justice and law and order?
            Can any society survive without law and order? By failing to enforce the law, we are contributing to societal instability and chaos. 
Dear Pawan Garu: 
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation requests that you reconsider withdrawing the original memo. That was the correct way of bringing harmony, stability, law, and order. 
You should not stand by, overlooking the efforts of other religions whose mission is to tarnish Hinduism and root out its culture from Bharat. Christians and Muslims have been openly telling all Hindus that they are going to make India either a Muslim country or a Christian Country. They are openly challenging us with no consequences.
            Since we believe you to be different from most politicians, please stand by morals, ethics, ahimsa, justice, equality, and fairness. 
            Hence, we request you to remove all illegally built Churches, remove all the loudspeakers, stop the abuse of the Atrocities Act, and stop the abuse of law and Order.
            Please know that Sanatana Dharma is disturbed and undermined by promoting the illegal construction of Churches and allowing people to suffer from the loud noise inflicted by loudspeakers.
            May God give you enough strength, courage, and confidence to stand up for law and Order.
            Dhanyavad
