‘Persecuted Hindus from Bangladesh should apply under CAA'
Nagpur: Hindus who fled countries like Bangladesh to escape religious persecution should not remain in hiding; they must come out and apply under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The recent crackdown is not on Bengali-speaking people, as certain political elements may claim. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is reaching out to such Hindus to assist them apply under CAA. "Even certificates are being issued to them after confirming that they are Hindus," said VHP's organizing general secretary Milind Parande on Monday. The new law applies to persons of Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, and Parsi communities who reached India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014. "Those who came later can also get citizenship through naturalisation," he said adding, "The recent crackdown is against illegal Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh, not generally against those who speak Bengali." Later, talking to TOI, Parande said it can be understood that those who fled these countries may not be able to produce the required documents needed in the CAA application. "The VHP is assisting them in dealing with such practical difficulties but in a legal manner," he said. Parande said in its central committee meeting held at Jalgaon last week, the VHP raised concerns over what he termed "conversion by churches, Islamic fundamentalism, Marxism, secularists and even profit-driven market forces". "There are certain global groups working to weaken the Hindu social fabric. Yet, the Hindus have remained resilient," he said adding the VHP also plans to start a campaign against drug addiction. VHP also expressed concern over an incident in the Lakadganj involving an alleged attack on a Hindu girl's family. # 'Review Secular & Socialist in Constitution' VHP leader Milind Parande backed the idea of reviewing the inclusion of the words "secular" and "socialist" in the preamble of the Constitution. Parande said at the time of framing the Constitution, even Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and Rajendra Prasad, who later became the President, were not in favour of having the two words in the preamble. "This was because they did not want the Constitution to be bound by any doctrine. It was only added during the Emergency," he said. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) sarkaryavaha Dattatreya Hosabale had raised a similar question recently.

"Rahul-Occupied Congress": BJP's Anurag Thakur's Sharp Attack In Lok Sabha
New Delhi: BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Monday launched a scathing attack on Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi during a debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, claiming India fought a "two-and-a-half front war" with the "half front" being the "Rahul-Occupied Congress." "India fought on two and a half fronts, everyone knows about the two fronts, but in this half front, there is also a Rahul Occupied Congress," Anurag Thakur said, adding, "Look at the social media, in the last two months, Rahul Occupied Congress has made disgusting and insulting cartoons against the Prime Minister and the Indian Occupied Congress called the Army chief a roadside goon. Rahul Gandhi should apologise to the entire country and the Indian Army..." Anurag Thakur went on to target Rahul Gandhi personally, calling him the "poster boy" of Pakistani propaganda. "Let me tell you, the leader you talk about, twice the people of the country did not even give him enough votes to become the leader of the opposition... He has become LoB from LoP (Leader of Opposition). LoB stands for Leader Opposing Bharat. Opposing India and the Prime Minister is his agenda. I don't know whether he becomes the poster boy of Congress or not, but he has become the poster boy of Pakistan's propaganda", he said. While referring to Congress MP P Chidambaram's recent remarks on Operation Sindoor, Anurag Thakur accused the party of questioning India's intelligence inputs. "Today, discussion on Operation Sindoor was to take place in the House, but there was a competition among the leaders of Congress as to who should come forward as the closest friend and dearest to Pakistan. In the interview given by a former Home Minister yesterday, he said- If Pakistan did not have a hand in this, how can you say that the terrorists came from Pakistan?... Sometimes they call it Hindu terrorism, sometimes they come to defend Pakistan," he said. The former Union Minister also accused the Congress of aligning with Pakistan's interests, saying, "There are so many big advocates of Pakistan in the Congress party today that Pakistan defends itself later, and Congress leaders come to defend them. The Pakistani army and the Pakistani government are using the brothers of Lashkar-e-Rahul in their favour... Although it is INC, but from their statements and actions, it looks like it has become Islamabad National Congress..." Anurag Thakur also criticized the Opposition for their response to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statement in the House. "Of all the opposition MPs who have spoken here till now, not even one MP has stood up and said that in this terrorist attack, people were asked about his religion and asked to recite Kalma, their pants were removed and then they were killed. Tell me what pain did the Opposition MPs have in saying this? When the Defence Minister was discussing the achievements of the Indian Army, there was no applause, no one was thumping the table..." he said. The Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon began discussion on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The debate was initiated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

CBCI's response hides facts: VHP on nuns' arrests
Kochi: State unit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) alleged that Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) leadership's response is hiding facts of the case in which nuns are accused in Chhattisgarh. Advocate Anil Vilayil, state general secretary, said Chhattisgarh has laws to prevent religious conversions or attempts through enticement and financial promises and to prevent human trafficking. He said the cases were registered under Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act and Prevention of Human Trafficking Act, which were brought by Congress govt in 1968 when Chhattisgarh was part of Madhya Pradesh. "Such individuals and institutions should be prepared to stop illegal activities carried out only in Hindu areas. There were minors with the nuns. There is clear evidence that one child gave a statement to police that the nuns forcibly took him to Agra. In this situation, locals informed police under the impression that human trafficking was taking place for religious conversion," he said. "Some Kerala Christian movements, which work with the aim of completely evangelising India, are operating in northeastern states. Local believers may be opposed to the systematic conversion efforts by misrepresenting and interpreting Hindu rituals and spending a lot of money. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Argentina: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo "Calling such objections a planned conspiracy and spreading news that such things are being done by Sangh movements, including VHP and Bajrang Dal, is condemnable," said Vilayil. "CBCI should take the lead in studying the matter clearly and responding and also deterring individuals and organisations making systematic conversion efforts. VHP strongly opposes the move to attribute all responsibility to Sangh Parivar movements, no matter what happens," he added.
