Viresh Shandilya celebrated a Rath Yatra against terrorism in the Kashmir Valley in 2002. The ‘Rath’ for the journey carried photographs of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru, Sukhdev, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Patel and Rani of Jhansi.[2]
ATFI National President, Viresh Shandilya, has received death threats in response to his statements against certain Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba Head Hafiz Saeed.[3][4] The threats were reportedly received from Pakistan, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.[5][6]
Lashkar-e-Taiba allegedly placed a bounty of ten million rupees on Shandilya. The alleged threat was received through a voice message from Pakistan.[7]
In 2014, the ATFI welcomed the Modi government’s initiative to clean the Ganges. The AFTI enlisted 3,000 members in Uttarakhand to assist with cleanup efforts.[8]
