VHP seeks action against Raj Thackeray

Nagpur: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) severely criticised MNS president Raj Thackeray for his stance against Hindi saying he is indulging in vote bank politics and dividing the country.

“It is vote bank politics and Raj Thackeray will not succeed in dividing the country in the name of opposition to the Hindi language. Those humiliating the ‘lingua franca’ in Maharashtra should be punished,” VHP international president Ashok Singhal said at a press conference here on Sunday .

Humiliating Hindi is open treason and such treacherous persons should be given the hardest punishment, Mr. Singhal said referring to the incident in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly where the newly-elected members of the MNS disrupted oath-taking in Hindi.

He said Mr. Thackeray has not only insulted Hindi but the ‘rashtrabhasha’ and this cannot be tolerated.

He has a small identity and is trying to create hatred among the people, he added. -- PTI
