"Temple movement part of fight against terror"

The Dharam Sansad of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today said the fight against "jehadi terrorism" and struggle for a Ram Temple at Ayodhya were complementary and demanded a ban on "madarssas" and terrorist Muslim outfits preaching `jehad'.

A resolution on "Jehadi Terrorism" calling for "Mandir banao, Aatankwad mitao" (Build temple, Crush terrorism), described destruction of the Ram temple at the hands of Babar as a "terrorist act" and said its reconstruction now would be a crucial step in the fight against terrorism.

A ban on religious conversions and check on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants were also part of the fight against forces opposed to Hindus' interest, said various resolutions passed by the apex body of Hindu religious leaders on the second day of its three- day meeting here today.

"It was also necessary to eliminate the ideological basis of terrorism and this can be done by closing down institutions like Darul Uloom Deoband and banning other bodies which preach jehad," the resolution said.

"Though not all Muslims were terrorists, but most of terrorists in the world were followers of Islam," it said.

The 'sants' also rapped political parties, saying due to their practice of minority appeasement, they were not forcefully attacking the `jehadi' mentality which had its source of sustenance in Pakistan.
