VHP to discuss Ram Mandir, conversion & women’s safety

Mangalore, Dec 27: The three-day meeting of prominent office-bearers and activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) slated to start on Friday at Mangalore is expected to discuss many important issues including the CCA, Ram Mandir, Women's Safety, and formulate a strategy for the future.

In a press statement issued here, VHP Secretary-General Milind Parande said that VHP President Justice Retd V S Kokje, Working President Alok Kumar, and other members of the Pranyasi Mandal are participating in the meeting from December 27 to 29, 2019.

The meeting is likely to discuss and deliberate upon the organizational expansion of VHP Hitchintak Abhiyan. Presently, the VHP has its working units at 60000 places.

Besides these other important issues including the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The VHP is of the view that the CAA is brought in to undo the historical wrong by granting citizenship to displaced minority refugees coming to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. The VHP will also deliberate on how to counter the false propaganda about the CAA being spread by the vested interests. The VHP would undertake a massive awareness program regarding the CAA.

Ramjanmabhumi is another important issue that this meeting is likely to discuss. With the Supreme Court verdict, the hurdles in the construction of Ram Mandir have been removed and the government is told to set up a trust for the temple construction within three months of the announcement of the verdict.

Women’s safety is another important issue the VHP is expected to take up. The VHP believes that the root cause of this malady was the absence of ethical and moral values (samskaras) and consistent hammering of consumerism through the media. The VHP would be taking up a task about how to impart such moral and ethical Sanskars, and Hindu values into the society, so that women will be respected and treated with respect in every Walk of life.

Cow slaughter and conversion of poor people to Christianity are two other important issues facing the Hindu society. The VHP meeting will deliberate on ways and means of stopping these conversions and savings lakhs of cow-progeny from getting slaughtered. Thus, gauraksha and conversions will be among the important issues that this meeting is going to discuss.

The VHP conducts over 100000 service projects in the fields of education, medicine, healthcare, women empowerment, and skill development. The meeting will also deliberate on expanding its service projects in remote parts of the country, the release said.
