VHP Distances Itself from Sadhvi Prachi’s Comments on Muslims

VHP said anybody participating in electoral politics cannot be called a VHP functionary.

Vishva Hindu Parishad on Tuesday sought to distance themselves from firebrand Hindutva leader Sadhvi Prachi, whose comments in the wake of the killing of a VHP leader in Agra have invited criticism from various quarters.

During the condolence ceremony of VHP leader Arun Mahor in Agra, Sadhvi Prachi along with a few other politicians had allegedly targeted the Muslim community, calling them ‘demons’ and made incendiary comments.

The VHP wants to make it clear again that Sadhvi Prachi is neither its leader, nor spokesperson, nor any office-bearer. Her statements should not be linked to the VHP.

He said she had contested the elections and is active in electoral politics, hence she cannot be called a VHP functionary.

Nobody active in electoral politics can be a VHP office bearer.
