KOCHI: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international president Ashok Singhal on Tuesday warned of a massive movement in the country if the Centre did not withdraw the proposed Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill 2011."It is an unimaginable and unconstitutional Bill. The Centre has brought the Bill to annihilate the Hindu community,’’ he told reporters here.Singhal is here in connection with the three-day VHP trustee board meeting from December 16.Alleging that the Bill was anti-Hindu and heavily tilted in favour of minorities, he said that if the Bill was passed, then the Hindus would become criminals.Moreover, the Hindus would also be blamed for all communal violences."If the Bill comes, then Hindus alone would be the sinners and Muslims can never be the culprits,’’ he said and added that the Bill presumed that a case would be registered in the case of a rape or a murder by a Hindu, but no case would be registered if a crime is unleashed on a Hindu.Singhal said the Bill had divided society into groups of Christianity, Muslims and others.“The Hindus have been placed in the ‘Other’ group. We are the majority in the country and are placed among others. The way they have divided the groups makes out that the only Hindus can do sins,’’ he noted.Singhal also lashed out at UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, saying that she had brought the Bill to entirely crush the Hindus.On the performance of the Union Government, he said, "Every act of the government was full of corruption. The country has seen the most corrupt government and the entire country is worried because of this corruption,’’ he said.On Anna Hazare’s campaign against corruption, he said that the movement was a very good one. The VHP was taking part in the movement against corruption as ‘Rashtra bhaktas’, he said. Asked about Ram temple, Singhal said that the temple would come up at Ayodhya in 2014. "Already there is a temple. We will have a massive celebrity temple at the site. About 65 per cent of the work has been completed,’’ he said.inghal alleged that an amount not less than `4,200 crore has been brought into the country in the last five years for conversion. ‘’Though our temples have vast wealth, not even a single penny is being spent for the welfare of the Hindus,’’ he said.
