New Delhi, Feb 22: VHP`s much hyped `Dharma Sansad` meeting to decide the future course of Ram Temple movement began on an aggressive note today with the outfit demanding that India be renamed Hindustan and "restoration of honour of Hindu rashtra". "One crore Ram bhakts should be created for restoration of honour of Hindu rashtra for which they should be ready to sacrifice anything, even their head", firebrand VHP leader Praveen Togadia said. "We need to rename India as Hindustan so that India`s honour is restored. It should be declared a Hindu rashtra", he said. Attacking the NDA government for "appeasing Muslims", Togadia said a "new mahabharat has to be fought in which Hindus will be pitted against communists, socialists and beggars of Muslim votes." He said there was need for a social and political change and called for educating people to eliminate dowry, untouchability and casteism.
