Puri, Feb 19: The VHP today said that it intended to create a 'Hindu vote bank' to enable political parties willing to implement its 13-point charter of demands to win elections.
"The Hindu vote bank will help political parties and independent candidates win elections. It will also work against political parties which indulge in Muslim appeasement and ensure their defeat," VHP international general secretary Praveen Togadia told reporters here on the sidelines of the 11th 'Dharma Samsad' meet.
Elaborating on the VHP's strategy to create a "vote bank", he said that the organization had targetted to unite 15 crore Hindu voters in the country.
The 13-point demands, approved by the 'Dharma Samsad', include declaration of India as Hindu country, promise to restore undivided India, formulation of a Central Law to check cow slaughter, control of Madrasas and abolition of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
<b>Criticising the BJP for "not delivering" on the VHP agenda in the past, Togadia said, "we had whole-heartedly supported BJP in the past. The party took us for granted and deviated from the ideology</b>."
<b>The strategy would be to build 10,000 voters' in each assembly segment and a minimum 40,000 in a parliamentary constituency. </b>
The VHP adopted five resolutions on the concluding day of the 'Dharma Samsad' including the Hindu vote bank, formulation of a Central Law to ban cow slaughter, protect sanctity of Ganga water, stringent laws against militants who carried out attacks on Ram temple and other Hindu religious places and declaration of Geeta as the national book of India.
VHP to isolate Bangladeshi infiltrators financially
The VHP will soon kickstart a campaign to isolate Bangladeshi infiltrators financially in order to discourage their presence in India.
<b>"We will start a nationwide campaign - Bangladeshi Muslim Ghuspethion Ko Arthik Bahiskar Karo - or isolate Bangladeshi infiltrators financially. We will start the movement from West Bengal,"</b> VHP international general secretary Praveen Bhai Togadia told reporters here on the sidelines of the 11th Dharma Sansad meet.
<b>A group of 300 Sadhus from West Bengal got together in a separate meeting to chalk out a detailed strategy to carry out the campaign, </b>Togadia said.
<b>"No job, no shelter and no food for the Bangladeshis were three major slogans of the VHP during the campaign," </b>Togadia said, adding that the campaign would be taken up in Orissa, Jharkhand and Assam in the second stage.
Togadia said that the Sants and Sadhus had given their consent to lead the campaign to achieve the objective of financially isolating the infiltrators.
