THE HINDU religious leaders (Dharmacharyas)
on Saturday called for declaration of Nepal
as Hindu state and restoration of monarchy there.
The Hindu religious leaders were here to participate
in the Vishwa Hindu Mahasammelan (VHM) that
began yesterday. They said sants would take
initiative to establish Hinduism in Nepal.
They criticised the Indian Government stand
on Nepal and said no political party was taking
Maoists' activities seriously.
Shankaracharya of Goverdhan Peeth, Puri Swami
Nishchalanand Saraswati said the saints would
have to work to control the religious and political
system in Nepal. "Today we should take
vow to work till Hindu Kingdom status is restored
in Nepal," he said.
As the political system failed to protect Hinduism
in Nepal, it was the duty of sants to provide
guidance to the citizens of Nepal. "We
are not against formation of democratic government
in Nepal, still Constitutional monarchy could
be restored as is the practice in several Christian,
Islamic and Buddhist countries," Nischalanand
said.
Over 500 delegates from Nepal are taking part
in the VHM. They drew the attention of the 'Dharmacharyas'
towards the pathetic condition of the Hindus
in Nepal yesterday. They said ISI of Pakistan
was spreading its network in Nepal to create
disturbance in India.
Former Union minister Chinmayanand said the
BJP national executive should make its stand
clear on Nepal.
VHM national president and BJP MP Yogi Adityanath
said the movement launched by the Hindu sants
was high-jacked by political parties to serve
their vested interests. He said Dharmacharyas
launched a movement on migration of Hindus from
Jammu and Kashmir, terror attack on Hindu temples
and attack on Amarnath yatra.

INDIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS DEMAND NEPAL
BE DECLARED A HINDU STATE
24 12 2006
The Hindu fundamentalists of India have demanded
that Nepal be declare a Hindu State and its
constitutional monarchy restored. Speaking at
the Vishwa Hindu Mahasammelan (VHM) in Gorakhapur,
India on Saturday (Dec 23), the Dharmacharyas
(religious leaders) called for declaration of
Nepal as Hindu state and restoration of monarchy
there, according to the reports by The Hindustan
Times. Here is more from HT by Rajesh Kumar
Singh:
Criticising the declaration of Nepal as a secular
country by seven-party interim government, Adityanath
said that it should again be declared as a Hindu
country and monarchy should be restored there.
He called upon the saints to take an initiative
for the liberation of Nepal from the clutches
of Maoists. He said that the [Indian] government
should impose a total ban on cow slaughter.
Hindutva remained at the top of the agenda as
the participants discussed various issues related
to the Hindu community. Over 500 delegates from
Nepal participated in today's meeting. They
expressed concern over Maoists strengthening
their hold over Nepal politics. Terming the
new government as anti Hindu, they said Nepal
was and would remain a Hindu country.
National president of VHM General Bharat Keshar
Singh, chief of Nepal Shiv Sena Arun Subedi,
former minister of Nepal Bhola Nath Jha, Swami
Prapannacharya and former MP Padm Bahadur Kota
also spoke on the occasion. They were unanimous
in saying that anti-Hindu activities had escalated
in Nepal since Maoists had tightened their grip
on power. ISI and Christian missionaries have
also spread their tentacles, they pointed out
and added that the Hindu majority in Nepal was
looking towards India for assistance.
Adityanath said Hindu organisations in India
would organise yatras, congregations and joint
feasts with Hindus in Nepal for restoration
of the Himalayan kingdom as a Hindu country.
