Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal today claimed the reconversion programme was an ongoing process and asserted that it will continue by spreading love and on?consent of such people.

Singhal also demanded that the Union government should come up with a strong anti-conversion law “to save Hindus from becoming a minority” in their own country.

He accused Muslims and Christians of wooing Hindus towards their religions and “being funded huge sums by foreign countries” for conversion.

“We would continue mass ‘Ghar Wapsi’ (reconversion) programme by spreading love and on the consent of people, and not by creating tension among people. PM had also said to party leaders to try and avoid tensions emerging from this.,” he told reporters when asked about the Modi’s warnings.

Singhal also advocated for a “uniform civil code” for Muslims and Christians on the lines of Hindus, and added that Muslims refuse to follow family planning that poses threat for the country as well as the Hindu religion.

He condemned the brutal killings of more than 100 school children by terrorists in Pakistan, and praised Prime Minister for asking schools in the country here to observe 2 minute silence.

On the crackdown by UP government on leaders of RSS affiliates Dharm Jagran Manch, VHP and Bajrang Dal over the reconversion programme, Singhal said the rule of Samajwadi partly-led government was limited.

Commenting on the controversial godmen Rampal and Asaram Bapu, he said Rampal had “some objectionable items in his ashram” and he was “working against the country on behest of some foreign hands” while Asaram’s work for the upliftment of Hinduism and drawing lakhs of followers was “appreciable”.
