Mangaluru: “Your ancestors were Hindu. You people were converted as Muslims by bribing and deceit. If you want to stay in India then return back to your mother religion, we will protect you,” said Vishwa Hindu Parishat International secretary Dr Surendra Kumar Jain.

He was addressing the gathering at VHP and Bhajaranga Dal South regional convention ‘Hindu Jaya Ghosh’ at Kadri ground on Saturday.

“Muslims are thirsty of blood. Their thirst has not fulfilled yet. If they want to live in this country then they should leave following Mohammad Paigambar and should start following Shree Ram,” he said.

Further condemning the TIppu Jayanti, he said “Instead of celebrating Tippu Jayanti we will celebrate ‘Tippu Death Day’. Decision of the state government to celebrate Tippu Jayanti was an unfortunate decision. We will celebrate his death day instead of his birth day. We never allow celebrating Tippu Jayanti.”

“If the government doesn’t taken action against love jihadists’ and doesn’t protects cattle and temples then Bhajaranga Dal activists will do that job,” he added.

Regional Organising Secretary of VHP Gopal said that the state will be burnt again if the government celebrates Tippu Jayanti.

A B Shetty Dental College Dean Shreedhar Shetty, VHP Regional Working President Prof M B Puranik, District president Jagadeesh Shenava, Sharan Pumpwell and others were present.
