Turn India into a Hindu nation, stop Muslim appeasement: ABHM

Mangalore, Jun 24: In a controversial demand which may hurt the sentiments of the followers of dozens of religions and castes across India, Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha has urged the union government to turn multi-cultural Hindustan into a pure Hindu nation.

Addressing a press meet in the city on Tuesday, ABHM state president N Subrahmanya Raju and senior leader Dr Santosh Ray dubbed themselves as Hindu nationalist leaders and went on to criticize Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena for hesitating to fight for Hindu nation.

Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they said that the people of the nation gave a clear mandate to the former Gujarati chief minister with a hope that he would protect the interests of Hindus, build magnanimous Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and end the era of minority appeasement '.

Indirectly suggesting Mr Modi to wage a war against Pakistan to reconquer the parts of Kashmir, they said that even though Jammu and Kashmir is intact in the map of India, in reality a major part of the beautiful state is in the hands of Pak. “It is time to fight and get our lands back from Pakistan,” said Dr Ray.

Strongly demanding for nationwide ban on cow-slaughter, they said that the animal which is being used for various in the country should be officially declared as national animal of India.

The ABHM leaders went all guns blazing against chief minister Siddaramiah-led Congress government in Karnataka, for what they called its “caste-politics” and said that Hindus are fed up with endless Muslim appeasement policies in the state.

They said that the government is misusing the money of Hindu tax payers to decorate the lives of Muslim community through “communal programmes” such as Shadi Bhagya and honorarium for Mullahs.

“End this discrimination and treat Hindus also like citizens of this state. Hindus are rightful inheritors of this state and government must pay honorarium to their priests before spending money for Muslim clerics,” said Mr Raju.

Expressing concern about what they opined state government 's indifference towards terrorism activities across coastal Karnataka, the ABHM leaders said that eliminating terrorism, naxalism and Maoism should be among the priorities of the government.
