Big Muslim population ends secular harmony: Bajrang Dal

BENGALURU: Any area with 20 per cent or higher Muslim population puts an end to 'secular harmony,' the Bajrang Dal has said in a resolution passed at its two-day baitak in Bengaluru that concluded on Sunday .

Pushing the slogan "Hindu Ghata Desh Bata" (if numbers of Hindus go down, country will be partitioned), the RSS offshoot asked all Hindus to unite and ensure that the demography of any region comprises at least 80 per cent Hindus.

"The places, districts, and states where Hindus are less in numbers are a potential threat. This includes the whole of Kashmir valley , Bihar -3 districts, Bengal -3 district, Kerala -1 district and Assam -9 districts. These are places where secular harmony has come to an end. Non-Muslims are finding it difficult to survive there. The state and central governments are also lagging behind in protecting them," the resolution said. Rajesh Pandey , the national convenor of the Bajrang Dal, said there was an atmosphere of insecurity and attacks on the Hindus were increasing."Family planning should be strictly implemented for Muslims also and Hindus should unite to protect our identity ," he contended.

All India joint general secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Surendra Jain, said: "there is an increase in riots by Muslims throughout the nation, from Mumbai to Malda." On Saturday , VHP head Praveen Togadia demanded that the Centre call Parliament to permit Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.
