inciting hatred: Varun Gandhi | The group has, in the days after CDs of Varun's alleged hate speech targeting Muslims came to light, sent press releases to thousands of people in the two countries urging them to support Gandhi's stand. "India is a Hindu-majority country run by a dynasty for 60 years. The Hindus are very weak here and under attack. If someone announces that Hindus will be protected, we will support him. If India becomes an Islamic country, what will be the condition of Hindus?" asked Arish Sahani, the vice-president of the Forum.
Sahani added, "Do you want India to become like Pakistan? What did the government do, when 26/11 took place? Our mission is to fight terrorism and guard India."
Forum officials claim that thousands have congratulated Gandhi on his fearless stand against Islamic terrorism, and that Indians living in USA consider terrorism to be India's most pressing problem and feel that the UPA government's response to it is very weak. |
