Puri Gabordhan Peetha Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati has said the Hindu community was being misused by several political parties and called upon them to remain united.

''For the lack of unity in Hindu community, political parties are taking advantage of it and using the community for their narrow political gain and such act has been impediment to social uplift,'' the Shankaracharya told reporters here yesterday.

He expressed doubt over the sanity of the people, who were taking the help of imaginary words like 'Hindu terrorism' and 'Hindu terrorist'.

The Shankaracharya said Hindu and Hinduism has been symbolised as peace and saints have been devoting themselves from time immemorial for the welfare of human being and the society.

''In a democratic country all community and religious sects have rights to protect their culture and heritage,'' he said.

To a query, the Shankaracharya said that construction of religious structure on private or government land was widely accepted in our country.
