VHP to launch 'movement' against Andhra Govt decision

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad would soon launch a "movement" across the country against the Andhra Pradesh Government's decision to give five per cent reservation to Muslims in education and jobs.

VHP apprehends that the move by the Congress Government in the state was a "precursor" to a similar plan across the country, the Parishad sources said in New Delhi on Thursday.

Through the "movement", the Sangh Parivar outfit would involve lakhs of cadres of its youth wing Bajrang Dal to mobilise support among the majority community against the decision, the sources said.

Earlier VHP firebrand General Secretary Pravin Togadia and RSS Spokesman Ram Madhav had slammed the Andhra Pradesh Government for its decision, saying it was "violative of both the Constitution and the Supreme Court's cap of 50 per cent reservation".
