VHP

"The room in Delhi's RK Puram has three people answering phone calls, but this is no ordinary help centre. The three people answering calls are working out of a Vishwa Hindu Parishad office and this is part of the Hindu Helpline, which aims to be a one-stop shop for all things related to the faith — from advice on rituals to guidance on what's to be done if your daughter is being harassed by "Muslim boys". It's a helpline planned by VHP's Pravin Togadia for the country's majority community and the people staffing the phones insist India's Hindus need a service such as this.

"Praveen Bhai Togadia, the International working President of Vishwa Hindu Prashid (VHP) did it again. On Saturday (19th July 2014), he reportedly said, “Aap Gujarat bhul gaye honge, par aapko Muzaffarnagar yaad hoga.” He said it in Indore (Madhya Pradesh) while addressing a press conference about the World Hindu Congress Summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi in November this year. “If you set Hanuman’s tail on fire, Lanka will burn. The Godhra incident led to the Gujarat riots, and the alleged rape of a Hindu girl led to the Muzaffarnagar riots,” he added.

The recent Lok Sabha polls had shown that an election could be won “without Muslim support” and it was time the minority community learnt to respect Hindu sentiments, VHP chief patron and senior RSS leader Ashok Singhal has said. Narendra Modi — an “ideal swayamsevak” — would deliver on the Hindutva agenda unlike the first NDA government, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad supremo and one of the longest serving senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders told HT in an exclusive interview. The right-wing Hindu leader, who had a front-row seat at Modi’s swearing-in, said “tables had turned”.

'The Vishwa Hindu Parishat (VHP ) and the Bajrang Dal (BD) jointly organised a protest meet against the state government, the police department and the illegal slaughter of cows, at Nehru Maidan here, on July 13. The programme began with an invocation. District President of VHP, Jagadish Shenava welcomed the gathering.
