Hyderabad: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in the state has vowed to stop the three-day Tablighi Jamaat meet to be held in Vikarabad district from January 6-8, terming it as illegal.
The Telangana government after coming to power on December 3, approved a budget of Rs 2,45,93,847 for the upcoming three-day congregation of Tablighi Jamaat.
The VHP in a statement on Thursday, December 21, demanded the cancellation of the program which they alleged promotes forced religious conversion, love jihad and creates havoc in society while criticising the state government’s “treasonous act” of sanctioning the fund, accusing the organisation of evil and illegal terrorist activities.
VHP state president secretaries Surender Reddy, Pandarinath, Prachara Pramik Pagudakula Balaswamy and Bajrang Dal state convener Shiva Ramulu issued a statement on Thursday. “The police authorities should respond and immediately cancel the permission of the meeting. Otherwise, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal will take up agitation programs on a large scale,” warned the VHP.
