Indo parties demand ban on VHP
2002-03-18
  • The Samata Party, Janata Dal (United) and the Trinamul Congress — which along with crucial partner Telugu Desam Party spent a better part of last week upset with the government on the Ayodhya developments — on Monday demanded in the Lok Sabha that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal be banned for their reported role in the attack on the Orissa Assembly on Saturday.

    The TDP has stopped short of demanding a ban, but expects "strict action against those responsible". TDP leader Yerran Naidu told Times News Network: "We have to condemn such a barbaric act. The government must control these organisations". In the Lok Sabha, an impromptu debate on the issue took up all of zero hour and more with JD(U) member Devendra Prasad Yadav saying "fundamentalism in any form should not be allowed in the country and organisations like VHP and Bajrang Dal should be banned."
    It appears there are still some civilized people in India. Wonder how many of them will be beaten up and their houses burned down by brownshirts? Are they singing the Mukkerjee Wessel Lied yet? "Die Fahne hoch... Da-da da-da-da daaaah dum..." The sounds of thousands of sandles marching in unison stirs something in the soul... Bang that bass drum!... And here comes the part about "Muslim blood will flow"... Right turn... Pass in review... GrÃŒss!...
