'Vanche Gujarat' movement misused for religious conversion!


Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s pet ‘Vanche Gujarat'(read Gujarat) movement is in discussion in central Gujarat’s Khambhat town for reason so different that Modi can’t imagine it.

According to information available from local unit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP), Khambhat’s Machhipura based Matrushri Motiba Zaverbhai Vaghela Branch no. 7 primary school’s lady Principal and other teachers – who are associated with Mariyampura based Christian missionary organization – had distributed 300 copies of a book ‘Navo Karar’ in students. The book according to local Vishwa Hindu Parishad unit contains detail about miracles of Jesus Christ, Bible, and content meant for religious conversion.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad workers and local BJP Councilors Rohitbhai and Rajeshbhai have collected several copies of such books from children in a door-to-door campaign. VHP has submitted a memorandum to District Education Officer, District Collector and Mamlatdar. The District official of Education department has asked his junior local officer to look into the issue and submit a report.

According to fresh detail available on this, Khambhat BJP MLA Shirish Shukla has proposed discussion on this issue in Gujarat Assembly’s ongoing Budget session under the rule 16, and has submitted notice in this regard.
