Stalin Government banning peaceful programme by Hindu outfits: VHP's Surendra Jain

Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain on Saturday stated that the Tamil Nadu Government should come out from its anti-Hindu mindset and he further added that the Stalin Government is also banning peaceful programmes being conducted by Hindu outfits in the State.

He said, "Stalin Government of Tamil Nadu first vomited venom and toxin against Sanatan Hindu Dharma and now by banning the peaceful programmes being conducted by Hindu organisations, it has made it clear that it is continuing with its anti-divine and unholy agenda to eliminate Hindu Dharma and its followers from the sacred land of Tamil Nadu."

Unconstitutional and encourages anti-national elements, says VHP

VHP stressed banning programmes and arresting its volunteers in Tamil Nadu and called it not only unconstitutional but the practice also encouraged anti-national elements.

"Hundreds of Karyakartas, including the Organizing Secretary of South Tamil Nadu, Sethuraman and Bajrang Dal's State convenor Bhimrao, who arrived at Kanyakumari today for the yatra to begin, have also been arrested," VHP said. 

"Similarly, the Government did not give permission for the yatra to start today from Chennai in North Tamil Nadu. Even the hall meeting was not allowed. Pressure is being mounted on the Karyakartas by positioning police forces everywhere," it added. 

Tamil Nadu Government's actions condemnable, says VHP official

The Hindu outfit said that the actions of the Tamil Nadu Government were condemnable and warned them to desist from the anti-Hindu agenda.

"There is no anti-Hindu agenda on the ground in the holy land of Tamil Nadu, where every part of it is infused and permeated with Hindutva. The wicked agenda will not be able to succeed! If the Government's attitude continues to be this, then VHP will have to prepare for a big movement in Tamil Nadu!."

The statements by the VHP come after the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi Stalin on September 2 compared Sanatan Dharma to diseases like dengue and malaria and said that it must be eradicated from the country.
