Amid reports of alleged exodus of Hindus from a western
Uttar Pradesh town, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) working president Praveen
Togadia today said the organisation will soon launch a nationwide awareness campaign
on the migration of the Hindus.
"VHP has passed a resolution expressing serious concern
over the exodus of Hindus in free India. Exodus of Hindus are taking place
everywhere right from Kerala to Kashmir, Assam, West Bengal and
Maharashtra," Togadia said.
"Thousands of villages and towns are witnessing exodus
of Hindus. VHP would soon launch a nationwide awareness campaign to apprise the
Hindus of the magnitude of their exodus," he said while addressing the
meeting of its governing council, VHP's top decision making body.
Togadia demanded that the Centre set up a Commission to
probe the reasons behind exodus of Hindus in the country besides suggesting
ways as how to resolve the issue.
Giving a slogan 'Palayan nahi Parakram' for Hindus, Togadia
said VHP would carry out a survey as how to provide security to Hindus in areas
from where they are forced to migrate due to security reasons.
The issue would be discussed during the two-day meeting of
the governing council, he added.
"We know there are over 200 places in Western Uttar
Pradesh where exodus of Hindus have taken place. I am not saying this because
there is an election in UP. We don't want to make the exodus a political issue
for any party," he said.
Exodus of Hindus is happening everywhere in the country
including Jammu and Kashmir where Hindus could not be rehabilitated so far,
Togadia said terming it as the biggest violation of human rights.
Accompanied by VHP's international president Raghav Reddy
and joint general secretary Surendra Jain, he said the government should also
take action against those because of whom Hindus were forced to migrate in
their own country.
He also asked state governments to take care of the human
rights violations of the majority community.
Togadia also demanded that the Centre come out with 'Common
Population Control Policy'.
