Bhopal: Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s international president Dr Pravin Togadia on Sunday demanded Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to take back his remarks on “Hindu terrorism” and apologise to the nation for it.
“VHP has strong objections to the Union Home Minister’s statement on saffron terrorism. He should take back his words and extend an apology to the nation on the issue,” Togadia demanded while talking to reporters here. “A person may be bad, but not the entire population of over 100 crore,” Togadia said referring to Shinde’s remarks. Shinde’s remark has only strengthened Pakistan’s hand and weakened India’s fight against terror at the international fora, he said. Asking Congress whether it would be able to come to power by disrespecting the majority, the VHP leader said the statement was given with an eye on Muslim vote bank, but asked the people to use their voting right by keeping in mind such statements that had “humiliated majority of the people.” (PTI)
