"It is a good thing that state government of Karnataka has taken strict action against rioters in recent Bengaluru riots,"ded  VHP.

"As many vehicles, houses and national property was destroyed by fire during riots by a section of Muslim society, we feel that dams must be paid by rioters, ded Parande (as quoted in a VHP press release).

In Delhi and many or places in country, such senseless violence targeting Hindu society h been orchestrated by a section of Muslims "deliberately on flimsiest of excuses", VHP leer said.
 

"Thus, such violent tendencies and actions must be punished harshly. Forces and people inciting such violence and supporting it, must also be dealt with harshly,"  ded Parande. 
 

Police have arrested hundreds of people in connection with violence on August 11 night and investigation is on.

government has moved high court for appointment of a Claim Commissioner for assessment of dam caused to properties during violence and recover cost from culprits.

violence in D J Halli and joining areas on August 11 night was unleashed by hundreds of people over an inflammatory social media post allegedly put out by P Naveen, a relative of Pulakeshinagar Congress MLA R Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy.

MLA's residence and a police station at D J Halli were torched by rioters who also set many police and private vehicles afire and looted belongings of legislator and his sister.

Parande said Chinese goods should be boycotted as buying m was as good as strengning hands of "enemy" as he referred to border skirmish with China recently near Lakh, in which 20 Indian Soldiers and officers were martyred.

He said VHP expected that lord Shri Ram Lalla will sit in sanctum sanctorum of Ram Janmabhoomi temple in next two to three years.

"If in next 3-4 months, an appeal is me to make donations for building of temple by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha kshetra Nyas, VHP is committed to support it wholeheartedly with all strength at its disposal."
 

Parande said that during corona pandemic VHP has served society and over 1,74,00,000 people have been fed with prepared food and over 40 lakh families have been given dry rations.
