Gorakhpur (Up), Oct 11: VHP international acting president Ashok Singhal accused Prime Minister's Political Advisor Brijesh Misra and External Affairs Ministry of playing down the Hindu culture by turning down Bali (Indonesia) Governor's request for educating Hindu youths in Bali about the Hindu culture. "It is 'highly degrading and shameful' that government of India took offence to the word 'Hindu' mentioned in the request letter written they received for the purpose, saying unless it was not withdrawn or deleted it would not be considered," Singhal said. The VHP president said over five lakh devouts would march to Ayodhya on October 17 and warned that if any hindrance was put to their peaceful march, the situation might take an "ugly" turn.
