    Shinde-led Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde visits BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi

    An all-party delegation, led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, visited the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi and offered prayers. MP Shinde described the visit as a truly divine experience. He thanked everyone who helped build the temple and praised the effort it took to create such a beautiful structure in the middle of the desert. He said the temple is very important for Hindus living in Abu Dhabi, as it gives them a proper place to worship. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for playing a major role in making the temple a reality and remembered the early support from former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. He expressed gratitude to the UAE government and the royal family for their help. Shinde shared a special message about unity, noting that people from different religions came together to build the temple: the land was bought from a Muslim, the architect was a Christian, and the workers were Hindus. He said this teamwork shows the strength of faith and cooperation, and he felt blessed to be part of it.
