Togadia flays Centre over suspension of security ops in J&K

Pravin Togadia, who recently quit the Vishwa Hindu Parishad today hit out at the Centre for suspending security operations in Jammu and Kashmir during the holy month of Ramzan and demanded its withdrawal.

Referring to Pakistani shelling that killed civilians and a BSF jawan yesterday in Jammu, the hardline right wing leader said, "Pakistan is waging war in the month of Ramzan and we are talking of peace."
He said, the "Central government's decision to stop security forces not to use weapons against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir during Ramzan is demoralising and humiliating security forces and encouraging Jihadi terrorism."
Togadia, who after over three decades of association with the VHP quit the organisation on April 14, said, "I condemn this decision of the Central government and demand that it be withdrawn."
In a direct attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, "Indian Prime Minister is much more concerned with Ramzan and that is hurting the nation."
