Varun alleged that in Pilibhit, Hindus are living under "fear" and
"three temples have been vandalised in the block in which I have
supposed to have given the speech."

"Pilibhit is a sensitive border area. There is widespread fear, arms are
being smuggled into ghettos to be used against India," he said.

Varun said "when things are seen out of context, there is always the
danger of misunderstanding.

"India is a big country with a big heart. There is room in it for all to
live in peace and goodwill. That is my sincere hope and effort."

He alleged there have been attempts to brand as communal anybody
"identifying with the Hindu community", and maintained that he has not
done anything to "incite hatred".

Varun also claimed that "cow slaughter remains" have been found in
various houses in his constituencies and no action has been taken
against it.

Accusing the authorities of giving a raw deal to the Hindus, he said
"thousands and thousands of people from Hindu community have been under
arrest under the National Security Act."


Varun said he has been attempting to restore confidence in a community
that has been "under siege" and asked the nation to stand by him.

"My attempt has been to restore confidence in a community that has been
under siege in its own country," he said, adding "I want to ask the
nation to stand by me."
