| Hindutva opponents to get death: VHP |
| 2002-12-20 |
| Neena Vyas for The Hindu The Indian extremist Hindu organisation, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, has warned of a "storm ahead which was not going to be limited to Gujarat" and indicated clearly that its next target would be five States — Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Delhi — where it is gearing up to spread the "Hindutva" ideology. Oh, Christ. Now it's Hinduvta's bloody border... Praveen Togadia, VHP secretary-general, told the press here this evening what in his view constituted the important ingredients of Hindutva. "The Muslims here will enjoy the same place or status as Hindus enjoy in Pakistan, maybe even slightly better status," he said. "We're just as smelly arseholes as any bunch of Muslims..." And as for Pakistan, the VHP was in favour of "dismembering" it, reminding everyone that "fundamentalism and extremism cannot be finished till Pakistan is dismembered." Doing away with Pakistan because of its fundamentalism and extremism is a fine idea. Doing away with it by means of fundamentalism and extremism stinks. Why substitute one problem for another? Muslims alone were not the target of his ire. All those who opposed Hindutva, and this certainly included secularists, would get the "death sentence" he declared. But the VHP would not have to carry out the sentence, the people would. "All Hindutva opponents will get the death sentence and we will leave it to the people to carry this out," he said. "So let's get those mobs running!" |
