Grant international refugee status: VHP

THE Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanded that all the Hindus coming from Pakistan, Bangladesh and other nations due to atrocities there must be given international refugee status and then full Indian citizenship with all rights that any citizen of Bharat has. Secondly, the Government of India must force Pakistan and Bangladesh to implement Nehru-Liaquat accord, failing which Bharat should take Pakistan and Bangladesh to task by severing all diplomatic, trade and other ties with them.

Talking to Organiser VHP working president Dr Pravin Togadia said these Hindu families must be rewarded by every Hindu as despite horrible atrocities in Pakistan, they have not given up their Hindu way of life! Dignity of Hindu dharma is highly protected by these families in the most adverse situations. He said the VHP wants that all the Hindus coming from Pakistan and Bangladesh must get the rightful compensation from Pakistan and Bangladesh respectively for the lands, businesses and properties they had to leave behind due to genocidal brutalities there. The valuation should be done by the Hindu Human Rights Commission with representatives from Hindu organisations, revered Shankaracharyas, prominent lawyers and finance experts.

The Government of India should also push the case in UNSC to slap sanctions on Pakistan and Bangladesh for such genocidal brutalities resulting into the mass exodus of the Hindus. The issue is serious and immediate serious measures are needed by the ruling government in this matter. Any delay can deteriorate Hindu situation in Pakistan and Bangladesh resulting into the majority Hindus in Bharat and also the Hindus in other countries getting angry with the Government as well as Pakistan and Bangladesh supporters in Bharat, he added.
