VHP starts helplines to ‘save Hindus’

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Friday issued helpline numbers of the Bajrang Dal “to save Hindus from jihadi threats”.

The numbers were initially issued for 35 regions in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Punjab, Maharashtra, Telangana, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

“Efforts are being made to create an atmosphere of terror in the country. The ‘jihadi forces’ are brutally killing people to create panic. The killings of Umesh Kolhe in Amravati and Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur are examples of the same. Even the system and the police are not supporting these victims. The VHP’s Bajrang Dal front will ensure that such people do get justice and help. They will become a bridge between people and the system. All this will be done in a democratic way,” Vinod Bansal, national spokesperson of the VHP, said.
