VHP resents pruning of SC, ST quotas (26) KADAPA, April 26, 2012: Viswa Hindu Parishad functionaries staged a dharna in front of Kadapa Collectorate on Wednesday decrying reduction in the 27 per cent reservation for OBCs, SCs, STs and open categories in education and employment to 20 per cent and diversion of the quota to minorities. VHP State vice-president B. Ramakrishna Reddy and Bajrang Dal Pramukhs Sivasankara Reddy and Rana Pratap, who led the protest, demanded that the government withdraw the reservation earmarked for Muslims by weaning away 45 per cent quota from OBCs and tender an apology to people. They also asked for a concrete assurance that SC reservations would not be diverted to Christians. They demanded Muslims be excluded from OBC reservations and said that the diversion of education and employment facilities meant for SC, ST, PBC to Muslims and Christians would be resisted by the VHP. They alleged misinterpretation of the recommendations of the Ranganath Mishra Commission and Rajenda Sachar Committee to consider Muslims as poorer sections. VHP Kadapa city president Venugopal, secretary Ramaswamy, treasurer V. Srinivasulu and joint secretary Siva Reddy participated. (The Hindu 26/4/12) Call to save Indian culture, religion from disaster (26) HYDERABAD, April 27, 2012: A meeting held to celebrate Sankara Jayanti at the NTR Stadium here on Thursday evening saw three religious heads practising different disciplines and practising Hinduism urging people to come together on a common platform to save culture, religion and tradition from disaster. Terming it the first-ever meeting with three Hindu religious heads sharing the dais, it aimed at showcasing Hinduism as a ‘sampradaya' (tradition) and driving home the message that ‘Hindutva' was something more than being a religion, said Swami Paripoornananda Saraswathi of Sree Peetham, Kakinada. In the presence of Swami Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar and Swami Sugunendra Teertha of Puthege Math, Udipi, he said this was a step to bring practitioners of different Hindu disciplines together. He expressed happiness that Hyderabad was taking the lead in what he termed a revolution with ‘Bharateeyam' in every heart. Speaking in Sanskrit, Swami Sugunendra Teertha said it was the mother of all languages and regaled the audience by recalling the similarities of words in Sanskrit and English - ‘Maatha' (Mother), ‘Pitha' (Father) and the like. He said Indianism was the need of the hour. The Chinna Jeeyar said while Sankara Jayanti was celebrated on April 26, Ramanuja Jayanti fell the next day itself. Adi Sankaracharya and Ramanujacharya shared the same ‘Nakshatra', he recalled. (The Hindu 27/4/12) Convicted Abu Azmi says Maharashtra govt is anti-Muslim (26) Mumbai: Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi on Tuesday lashed out at the state government, saying it was against the minorities. Azmi’s tirade came a day after a local court sentenced him to two years’ imprisonment for delivering a hate speech 12 years ago. The sentence was suspended to give Azmi and others time to appeal in the sessions court. Azmi held the Congress-NCP government responsible for the judgment. He said judgments are made on the basis of evidence provided by the police, who are under the state government, and based on such evidence, Muslims are found guilty while others go scot-free. “Bal Thackeray (Shiv Sena leader) and Raj Thackeray (MNS leader, earlier with the Shiv Sena) have made hundreds of speeches inciting hatred and communal violence. Why has the government never taken action against them?” he asked. Azmi said the entire case smacked of politics. “When the then CM Vilasrao Deshmukh asked the local police, they said there was no case. But after (the then leader of the Opposition from the Shiv Sena) Narayan Rane did not allow the assembly to function for 11 days, the government forced the police to file a case. After that, the police produced a CD of my speech in the court, and said my speech was communal,” he said. “Where did that CD come from?” he asked. A press release from the Samajwadi Party said that in his speech, Azmi had said that after the 1992 riots, the situation in Mumbai was not good, that the police were harassing Muslims, that loudspeakers in mosques and namaz on the roads had been stopped, and that maulvis (priests) in mosques were being questioned. He said his speech was never against the country but against injustice to Muslims. Azmi said
a police complaint has been registered against Bal Thackeray under Section 153(A) of the IPC (promoting enmity between groups of people), yet after all these years no action has been taken against him. “The government doesn’t have the guts to file cases against Thackeray, whose speeches have been heard by everyone. It only picks on Muslims,” he said. (DNA 2/5/12) Police yet to decide on permission for Togadia meet (26) KASARAGOD, May 4, 2012: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international general secretary Praveen Togadia is scheduled to attend a ‘Hindu Shakthi Sanghom' convention here on May 6 even as the police are contemplating whether to permit the convention in the communally sensitive town. Spiritual leaders from Kerala and Karnataka are expected to take part in the meet, Hindu Aikyavedi State vice-president Raveesh Thanthri Kandar told a press conference here on Thursday. A senior officer said ‘‘the police have not decided whether to give permission to hold the meeting in view of the presence of Mr. Togadia, who is known for delivering fiery and provocative speeches, in the communally sensitive town.” The meeting is scheduled at the Thalipadappu ground at 3 p.m. The police said that if the meet was held without their permission, it would be considered as illegal. ‘‘Anyway, we are assessing the situation and will take an appropriate decision later,” Assistant Superintendent of Police T. K. Shibu said. (The Hindu 4/5/12) IUML, Sangh Parivar vitiating peace: CPI(M) (26) KASARAGOD, May 6, 2012: Communist Party of India (Marxist) district unit secretary K.P. Sathish Chandran has alleged that the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) and the Sangh Parivar are bent upon vitiating peace in the communally sensitive district. In the backdrop of the IUML leadership's resolve to hold a march to the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Police at Kanhangad in protest against the recent arrest of three youths for violating the Indian Army's dress code during a procession on the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammed and the Hindu Aikya Vedi's move to invite Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Praveen Togadia, who earned “notoriety” for delivering provocative speeches, the secular-minded people should join hands to thwart the evil designs of the communal forces, Mr. Sathish Chandran said in a statement here on Friday. The Bharatiya Janata Party and other Sangh Parivar outfits and the IUML under the influence of outfits such as the Popular Front of India were making moves to destroy the communal harmony in the district, he alleged. Mr. Togadia was scheduled to address a Hindu meet here on May 6 amid reports that the police were making elaborate security arrangements, while the IUML was planning to hold the protest march on May 15, the CPI(M) leader said. (The Hindu 6/5/12) Togadia lashes out at Pakistan (26) KASARAGOD, May 7, 201: Praveen Togadia, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader, said here on Sunday that Pakistan had been assisting terrorist elements to carry out subversive activities in major cities and other parts of India. He was addressing a meeting hosted by the Hindu Samrakshana Samithi here on Sunday evening. He alleged that the political leadership of the country was encouraging unhealthy and dangerous tendencies in the name of vote bank politics. The Jehadi philosophy was flourishing in various forms, the gravest being the import of terrorism from across the border. He alleged that the government had taken control of over one lakh Hindu temples. Senior spiritual leaders, including Sri Vishvesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Math, Udupi, and Swami Premananda spoke. The function was held in the backdrop of attacks on a few temples in the town, triggering tension for days in recent months.
