Mangalore, January 2: Hardline Sangh Parivar leader Pravin Togadia on Sunday lashed out at Congress leaders including P Chidambaram, Rahul Gandhi and Digvijay Singh for their “support to Islamic terrorism” and declared that the Hindu organizations will build a grand Ram Mandir at Ayodhya within two years.
Addressing the Hindu Samajotsava here at Nehru Maidan, in his characteristically aggressive speech, Mr Togadia singled out Chidambaram for criticism and asked if the Union Home Minister was contesting the next election from Lahore instead of Tamil Nadu. "Is Chidambaram the Home Minister of India or is he the Home Minister of Pakistan?", the fire-brand orator asked in his inimitable style.
Lashing out at Chidambaram for his recent criticism of “saffron terrorism”, the international general secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishat claimed that not even a single Hindu has been convicted of terrorist offences in the country while more than 50 Muslims have been sentenced of the offence.
He then turned his ire at Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, and said, if he is so worried about growing Hindu terrorism in the country why doesn't he migrate to his ancestral country Italy?
Mr Togadia also took exception to another Congress leader Digvijay Singh's statement on the killing of Hemanth Karkare and wanted to know if he was the brother of the Pakistanis who attacked Mumbai 26/11?
He also blasted “Shaithani Jihadi Musalman” in his rhetorical speech and warned that if the surge of Jihadis was not checked, it will lead to creation of more Pakistans in Assam, West Bengal and Kerala.
“In 1940s Jihadis resolved in Rawalpindi that they wanted a separate Pakistan. Today Gilani is saying Kashmir should be given independence. Today there may be just one party with the name Muslim League. But are one dozen political party league which is supporting Jihadis. While thousands of soldiers are being killed in Kashmir every day, the government is talking of giving jobs to the family of the slain terrorists,” Togadia said.
Amid roaring screams of Jai Sri Ram, Mr Togadia said, the Jihadis will be swept away in the waters of Ganga and Yamuna and said the construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya will ensure that there will not be any more Mohammed Ali Jinnahs in the country.
“We demolished the mosque on December 6, 1992 because we wanted to guarantee that no more Babars are born in the country,” he claimed.
In his Hindu speech, punctuated repeatedly with roars of Vande Mataram and Jai Sri Ram, Mr Togadia spit venom at Muslims and claimed that the construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya will herald a new beginning and will pave the way to construct Ram Mandirs at Lahore and Rawalpindi in the years to come.
“One day we will also fly the saffron flags in Lahore and Kandahar. We will take revenge for the oppression meted out on Hindus for centuries,” he thundered.
On the construction of Ram temple he said it would be built within two years after the final clearance was given.
“In 1989 we had collected 8 crores through bricks. We had deposited the money in a nationalized bank. Now the fund has grown to 24 crores. We have kept the pillars and other carvings ready. We are confident of completing the construction within two years,” he said and claimed that the Hindu community does not want Ram Mandir to be built as a result of some people's generosity or through compromise. “This is the fight to protect country,” he said.
He ended his speech with slogans of “Ramlalla ham aayenge, Mandir vahin banayenge” and "Bharat hindu rashtr hai, yahi hamara kam hai”.
The event which has created lot of anxiety among the Mangaloreans ended peacefully, with district administration making massive security arrangements.
Dr P Dayananda Pai, Chairman, Century Builders, Bangalore presided over. Vishwesha Theertha, Seer of Pejavara Mutt, Ramananda Swamy of Kolya, Gurudevananda Swamy of Odiyoor, Rajashekharanda Swamy of Gurupura, KS Nithyananda of Chikmagalur and Rani Chandakantha of VHP were present on the dais.
