VHP vows to stop 'Hindu migration'

NEW DELHI: In the wake of alleged Hindu migration from Kairana in UP's Shamli district and the BJP's Dalit outreach programmes, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said it would launch a campaign of “parakram“ (aggression) in place of “palayan“ (migration) by combating forces 'intimidating' the Hindu community.
“We have exhausted our limits of tolerance and know how to protect ourselves,“ VHP national spokesperson Surendra Jain said in a press conference here on Thursday.He said a resolution was passed at the organisation's central committee meeting in Patna to launch a campaign to “awaken Hindus against forces trying to destabilise them“.
Jain said the meet also passed a resolution for harmony, mainly to bridge gaps within Hindu society. “We shall intensify our campaign for `one well, one crematorium' for all Hindu castes in villages,“ he said. The BJP has been raking up alleged migration from Kairana and also took it up during its national executive in Allahabad. The party has launched a massive Dalit outreach campaign to woo the community seemingly with an eye on the upcoming assembly polls.
Jain said they would conduct a survey to identify areas where Hindus were being harassed.
