VHP’s resolution against religious radicalism

INDORE, Jan 1:
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has passed a resolution against religious radicalism, which it said was responsible for terror attacks across the world, and demanded a stringent law to ban illegal conversions and implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), its functionary said.
This resolution was passed and demands were made during the three-day meeting of the VHP’s central board of trustees and the governing council that concluded here today. “An important resolution on ‘Religious Dogmatism – Its Ill-effects and Solution’ was passed in the meeting,” VHP working president advocate Alok Kumar told reporters here.
“The resolution made it clear that the declarations by some traditions that ‘Only my religion is right, others have to accept and if they don’t, then I have the divine command to eliminate them’ are unacceptable to humanity. Those who insist on such heavenly commands to destroy have actually destroyed many ancient civilisations of the world,” he said.
The resolution passed during the meeting said, “Unfortunately, despite the toxic experiences of many centuries, religious radicalism and dogmatism of the desert traditions remain a challenge for the whole world even today.
These radicals are also responsible for the terrorist attacks happening here and there in the world every day…” “The series of inhuman atrocities on non-Muslim women through ‘Love Jihad’ and also the Jihadi activism of the “Sar tan se juda gang” (beheading gang) are the ghastly faces of this religious radicalism….,” a VHP statement said.
