Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadia on Sunday demanded that the government should stop all subsidies provided to Muslims from money of Hindu tax payers or else provide similar grants to Hindus.

Addressing a Hindu sammelan at the GMDC Grounds, he said: "If Muslims could be helped like this with the money collected from taxes paid by Hindus, why not Patels, Thakores and Koli (communities)?"

He said Muslims were being given a subsidy to undertake religious tours and for their educational development but there was nothing like this for Hindus.
