New Delhi: Vishwa Hindu Parishad convenor Ashok Singhal`s statement about conversions has not gone down too well with the Congress, with its party leaders saying that it was devised to cause strife for political gain.
Talking to reporters on Sunday, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said, "Whatever Ashok Singhal says is scripted to cause rift for political gain.”

And demanded that the BJP express their view on his statement.
Digvijay was reacting to the VHP leader`s statement where he said it had become "imperative" for each Hindu couple to have five children each.

Stirring a hornet`s nest on Saturday, Singhal said that unless conversions were stopped immediately, the day would not be far off when Hindus would be reduced to a minority in this country.
