Jihadist aggression cannot play a victim role: Surendra Jain of VHP warns of rising religious tensions | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Jihadist elements in Bharat are continuously attacking Hindu society, its festivals and temples. Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) released a list of these attacks and said these incidents prove that jihadists are perpetrators and aggressors and hence cannot play any victim card on Tuesday. The VHP also lashed out at political parties for allegedly ‘indirectly supporting’ these activities.
VHP Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain warned that unlike in the past, today’s Hindu community is united and ready to respond to any provocation, albeit within constitutional limits. clerics and leaders of Bharat give to Hindu society Jain said: “Similar threats were made in 1946 CE. Are these maulanas and Muslim clerics and leaders planning to repeat the ‘Direct Action Day’ carnage in Bharat? They need to remember that this is not 1947. Today, Hindus are awakened and united. They can respond to any challenge by staying within constitutional limits. But today the dual nature and split personality of all these leaders has been exposed.”
Stating that these attacks are not limited to India, “these jihadist attacks and atrocities are global,” Jain quoted the attacks by Hamas or Bangladeshi jihadists, “whether it is the massacre of Hindus in Kashmir or the attacks on Hindus in Bengal, the In all this, the brutal dance of cruelty and lust is clearly visible. This character of theirs has been troubling humanity for 1,400 years,” as he called on the civilized world to join forces to defeat and neutralize the jihadist mindset.
VHP shared a report documenting more than 300 incidents since January 2023. The report, released on the occasion of the Hindu festival Chhath Puja 2024, highlights cases of violence and alleged provocations by what Jain calls ‘jihadi elements’ in India. He claims that these acts indicate an ongoing attack on Hindu society, with attackers using religious differences to foment division.
Jain further expressed concern over political parties who he said have indirectly supported these activities. According to him, some secular and pro-jihadist parties have overlooked violence in their quest for power, exacerbating the issue and pushing the nation toward conflict. He asserted that upholding constitutional respect, the law and traditional values ​​is critical to maintaining harmony in the country, and urged all citizens to adhere to these principles.
The VHP report classifies incidents into several so-called categories of ‘Jihad’, including ‘Terror Jihad’, ‘Love Jihad’, ‘Population Jihad’ and newer terms such as ‘Spitting Jihad’ and ‘Urine Jihad’. These labels reflect concerns that extremist elements are targeting non-Muslims in different ways.
The VHP has stated that it is considering legal action against those who incite violence and will continue to monitor inflammatory statements made by religious leaders.
