Love Jihad, Religious Conversion Figure in VHP’s Prayagraj Meet 

Prayagraj, UP: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded a complete ban on religious conversions, news agency ANI reported. 

A VHP meeting was held at Alopi Bagh-based ashram of Jagatguru Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati Ji in Prayagraj on Sunday which was attended by the guide board members of the right-wing Hindu organisation. Mahant of Sacha Baba Ashram, Swami Gopal Das Ji Maharaj presided over the meeting.

All India Sant Sampark Pramukh Ashok Tiwari told ANI that issues like untouchability and ‘Love Jihad’ were discussed in the meeting. He said the unity of Hindu society was emphasised in this meeting and the dignitaries also sought a blanket ban on conversion. 

Chief Guest Jagatguru Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati asked the saints to leave their Math and temples and awaken the Hindu society for the promotion and protection of Hindus.

“From time to time, the guidance of the society by the saints is necessary for the support of the Hindu religious culture. The awakening of the Hindu society is the solution to the problems of the Hindu society. We have to do the work of bringing our brothers who are away from the mainstream of Hindu society,” he said.
