Togadia, said India will not tolerate the “use of donations made by Hindus for the education of Muslim doctors”.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a Rashtriya Bajrang Dal programme in Shakti Nagar here, he said, “I would like the Lieutenant Governor to address this issue otherwise I will myself find a way.”
The right-wing Hindu leader said he will not tolerate “any injustice” with the Jammu region. Togadia added that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi may not be aware of this “injustice”.
Togadia, a former VHP leader, is currently on a six-day tour of Jammu region, beginning with Kathua on Wednesday.
Togadia urged the J-K LG to resolve the admission row at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Government Medical College at the earliest.
“Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, who is like my elder brother, should cancel the admission list immediately. Otherwise, I will go to every village and urge devotees not to make donations at the Vaishno Devi shrine and instead offer rice.
“We will earn and give our own money, but there will be Muslim doctors from Kashmir… The Hindus of this country will not tolerate this,” Togadia said.
He warned that if this injustice is not stopped, the people of entire nation is with the people of Jammu. “We have shown this during 2008 Amaranth Ji land row agitation and if need be we can do this again,” he added.
He said it will not be tolerated that the Hindus money will be utilized for training the doctors from other community.
Asked why it happened when the State was under LG rule, he said may be the Prime Minister and LG may not be in know of the issue and I hope that they will definitively intervene and Jammu will get justice.
Asked about alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, Togadia suggested the Central Government stop supply of salt, rice and water of Brahamaputra to the neighbouring country. “If they still do not stop, go for 1971 intervention by sending the Indian Army.
“If US President Donald Trump can intervene in Nigeria to safeguard Christians, why can India not do the same there. I strongly believe that my elder brother, my long-time friend, Narendra Bhai, will definitely protect the Hindus of Bangladesh,” he said.
He said his group will get an action plan to throw out illegally settled Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims from the country.
