Togadia terms 'jehadi' terrorism dangerous

Gwalior, Mar 31: VHP International General Secretary Praveen Togadia described 'jehadi' terrorism as dangerous for the country and said police should be granted army rights to tackle the menace. Talking to reporters here on Monday, Togadia expressed concern over activities of banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) continuing. He alleged that SIMI activists were receiving local support.

He suggested the Centre grant army rights to police so that it could arrest 'jehadi' terrorists from them their house. Alleging that the Centre was framing policies on religious lines, Togadia pointed out that it made announcements to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore for Muslims. The VHP leader said 'Ram Setu' was a matter of faith for Hindus. He said that it would not be allowed to break at any cost. “We would not allow to Government to become Babar. On Ram Mandir construction issue he said that we are concentrating on the issue of Ram Setu at present. After that we would return to Ayodhya,” he added.

He said an agitation would be launched in the whole country if efforts were made to demolish it. He said that the Ram Mandir would be constructed. Criticizing the Government he said that it has kept a terrorist accused on parliament as its son-in-law. On the other hand an innocent Indian is being hanged in Pakistan this would not be tolerated. On the migration of north Indians from Maharashtra it is a quarrel between Hindu brothers. He demanded ouster of Bangladesh Muslims from Maharashtra. He said that every person shouting slogans of Pakistan Jindabad is a traitor. Strict action should be taken against him.
