Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) activists were nabbed by police from Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh and many sleeper cells were busted by security agencies all over the country, he pointed out.
Togadia was talking with ‘The Hitavada’ exclusively during his two days Nagpur tour on Friday. Dr Togadia, who is known as mascot of Hindutva politics, further slammed political leaders for launching attack against Rahul instead of anti-national forces.
Dr Togadia praised Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray for reminding Bharatiay Janata Party (BJP) about uniform civil code, scrapping of Article 370 and protection of Hindu interest. “Hindu will support Thackeray on the issue as he is following late Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray.” He further asked BJP and other parties to follow the path of Hindutva.
When asked about his stand over Kashmir students, who had stopped Bollywood film crew ‘Haider’ to hoist Indian flag, the firebrand leader said that government should take stern action against the students and expel them from college. He once again blamed Islamic extremism and stated that even China and Russia are also facing same problems in their muslim-dominated provinces. Separatist leaders are trying to malign image of Indian army, he alleged.
Describing Muzaffarnagar incident as fall-out of “Love Jehad”, Dr Togadia warned that such spontaneous reaction will continue if the rabid elements pursue Love-Jehad against Hindu girls. He appreciated Hindus of Muzaffarnagar for their unity. Togadia will meet Sarsanghachalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Dr Mohan Bhagawat on Saturday morning. VHP leaders including Dr Hemant Jambhekar, Vijayjeet Waliya, Ajay Nildawar and Surendra Lodha were present at the occasion.
