Kathmandu: Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Ashok Singhal on Tuesday said that Nepal will turn into a Hindu state if Narendra Modi becomes India’s prime minister.
“He (Modi) is set to come (to) power in India,” Singhal told a gathering of Hindus in the eastern Nepali city of Biratnagar, adding that once Modi assumes office, it will not take much time to see Nepal as a Hindu state.
Nepal was the world’s only Hindu state until 2008 when the Maoists came to power and declared it secular.
“The day Modi comes in power in India, I declare that Nepal will turn into a Hindu state,” said Singhal. (IANS)
