Srinagar, Feb 29 (KNS): Terming the recent statement of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader, Parveen Togadia, as "provocative", the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) on Monday said due to the presence of such people, the minorities of India are unsafe.
"The presence of people like Togadia is endangering the safety and security of minorities living in India. His remarks clearly reveal that he is a mentally disturbed person," a DFP spokesperson said in a statement to KNS.
Togadia had said that cow slaughterers and JNU students should be hanged."This reveals nothing but a fascist mindset of these people. It is because of Togadia like elements that minorities are feeling unsafe in India," he said.
Asking Indian government to rein in killers like Parveen Togadia, the spokesperson said the VHP leader should needs some psychiatric treatment.
He also condemned Togadia's remarks against Shaheed Afzal Guru saying Afzal sacrificed his life for a greater cause and his sacrifice is exemplary.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel"Also the RSS and VHP must bear in mind that spitting venom against the JNU students won't be tolerated. Now voices in favour of Kashmiris' fight for justice are rising," he said.
The spokesperson also condemned the anti-Muslim incident that took place in Jammu. "Threatening the employees and then silence of authorities over it reveals the communal elements are given a free hand there. Such incidents should stop forthwith."
The DFP spokesperson severely condemned the continuous house arrest of its Chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, and other leaders saying, "Shabir Ahmad Shah has been kept under house imprisonment for last eight months. Currently, he continues to be lodged in Raj Bagh police station and is not released. This is the frustration of so-called administration." (KNS)
