OPEN LETTER FROM DR. PRAVIN TOGADIYA,
INTERNATIONAL SECRETARY GENERAL, VHP to THE NEW INDIAN GOVERNMENT
(Issued to the media as a Press
Statement) Repealing POTA may attract hundreds of 9/11 & Spain type
blasts in INDIA VHP DEMANDS PLAN TO PROTECT MAJORITY New Delhi, May 28
When the world is preparing itself
to protect its civilians from Jihadi Terrorism, Indian Govt is repealing
the Anti Terrorism act (POTA). After 1989, in just one decade, over 10,000
Army & Police jawans & over 40,000 civilians were killed by Jihadi
terrorists in J & K. Thousands of Terrorists were arrested but not
a single one was convicted due to insufficient legal provision to deal
with terrorism. Later on our Parliament was attacked and the Jihadi attackers
were convicted only due to POTA.
Attorney General of USA John Ashcroft
& FBI Director Robert Mueller have jointly warned the world about Biological,
Chemical & Nuclear Terrorist attacks by AL QUEDA on over 60 countries
in next 3 months. U.K., USA, JAPAN, RUSSIA, CHINA, & other Asian countries
are taking strict measures to crackdown Jihadi terrorists. UK has arrested
Islamic cleric ABU HAMZA this week for preaching Jihad & cancelled
this Malawi's citizenship. ITALIAN Govt has started stopping vehicles on
the streets to nab suspected Jihadis, JAPAN has raided homes of JIHADI
suspects.
Along with International Intelligence
reports, even our Army Chief has given presentation to the new Defence
Minister that there are still 80 to 100 terrorist training & support
camps in POK, with 3500 to 4000 well trained Jihadis ready to enter INDIA.
On this extraordinary background
of worldwide alert, when Jihadi threat is looming large on entire world
& INDIA, repealing POTA means opening INDIA to JIHADIS & making
our country a safe heavens for Terrorists, when world is being tough on
them. This way new Govt is endangering every Indian civilian, our Economy,
our families & our national security.
VHP demands A PLAN TO PROTECT MAJORITY
from JIHADI Terrorism. The govt, which is sitting in power with the help
of people who have direct links with the party/organization creating Pakistan
& Taliban, should immediately take steps to curtail Jihadi Terrorism.
At the cost of safety of majority, this minority appeasement will not be
tolerated by Majority of INDIA.
Playing in the hands of Jihadi terrorists
& repealing POTA at this stage may attract hundreds of 9/11 and Spain
train station type blasts in INDIA and new Indian Govt will be entirely
responsible for the catastrophic damage to India.
