In a formal communication, Hindu Sena pressed Home Minister Amit Shah to order the revocation of Hamid Ansari’s Padma Shri. The petition cites multiple instances where the former Vice President allegedly made remarks that could compromise India’s sovereign interests and fuel communal tensions. The group argues that the award’s sanctity is compromised when its recipient is linked to activities that question national security. Vishnu Gupta emphasized that the honor should be reserved for individuals whose conduct consistently reflects unwavering loyalty to the nation, urging the ministry to act without delay.
