Bengaluru: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have asked political parties to abandon their ‘Muslim appeasement policy,’ claiming this was hurting the country. They pitched for a uniform population policy, saying the Muslim population was growing faster than the Hindu community. Joint General Secretary of VHP, Surendra Kumar Jain told reporters after the Bajrang Dal Akhila Bharatha Baitak, “The Total Fertility Rate of the Muslim population is increasing; now Hindus have been diminished to a dangerous level, they have become less than 80% of the population.” He demanded a ban on madrasas. “Pakistan is banning madrasas, France, Germany and Russia have banned them.” He alleged that in some madrasas, students are trained to use weapons and this is a “dangerous trend”.
Nation needs uniform population policy: VHP
Expressing serious concern over the growing Muslim population in the country, Vishwa Hindu Parishat and Bajrang Dal on Sunday jointly demanded that the BJP-led Central government come out with a uniform policy on population.
Addressing a press conference after the two-day national executive meeting here, VHP national joint general secretary, Surendra Kumar Jain and Bajrang Dal national convenor, Rajesh Pandey asserted that both organisations feel the rising population is not only causing imbalance but may also end the country’s true identity. “A decline in the number of Hindus will be a threat to the true identity of Akhanda Bharat. This is the first time the country has reported less than 80% Hindus," they observed. According to them, districts and states where Hindus are less in numbers can identify the future threat. "Secular harmony has come under severe threat in the Kashmir valley. Three districts each in Bihar and Bengal, one district in Kerala and as many as nine districts in Assam are the places where non-Muslims are finding it difficult to survive," both leaders accused.
Coming down heavily on the Union government and state governments, Mr Jain and Mr Pandey charged that some Muslim leaders were openly claiming that when their community crosses 20% of the population, Hindus will have to dance to their tunes. "So this is a lesson for all Hindus to remember that ‘Hindu Ghata To Desh Bata’, (If Hindu population declines, country will be divided)," the leaders contended. In response to a question, the leaders contended that the imbalance in population was a direct result of the aggressive nature of Muslim fundamentalism which is primarily responsible for the explosion in Muslim population. Apart from this, cross border infiltration, religious conversion and polygamy too have contributed to the rise in Muslim population, they added. Mr Pandey said Bajrang Dal was of opinion that all states and the Centre should work in tandem to tackle cross border infiltration from Myanmar and Bangladesh. "Infiltration is one of the major causes of imbalance in the population percentage in favour of Muslims. The infiltration needs to be stopped and government agencies must co-operate to identify these ‘migrants’ to send them back.”
‘Madrasas have become terror dens’
Coming down heavily on the state governments and Union government for failing to tackle ‘errant Madrasas’, VHP joint general secretary Surendra Kumar Jain and Bajrang Dal national convenor Rajesh Pandey alleged that several Madrasas have turned out to be dens for terrorist training. Why can't India act sternly against erring Madrasas like France, Germany and even Pakistan have done, they asked. "This is unheard of anywhere in the world, it is only in India nobody dares raids Madrasas," they said.
