Ayodhya, Oct 21: After having failed in its attempt to hold a 'Sankalp Sabha' here on October 17, VHP is now planning to approach the court and the National Human Rights Commission against the Uttar Pradesh government for its alleged "persecution" of the 'Ram bhakts' who were heading towards the temple town to participate in its programme. "The injured Ram Bhakts have been medically examined and photographed and other necessary evidence in this regard have also been collected," VHP international president Ashok Singhal told a news agency today.

"The VHP will place all the evidence before the court and the NHRC to expose the state government," he said. The list of Ram Bhakts who suffered injuries in the police action at Karsevakpuram on October 17 last had been prepared, Singhal said.

VHP would soon compile a book containing the details of "atrocities on the Ram Bhakts by the state government" which would be distributed in every village in Uttar Pradesh, he said. "The persecution of Ram Bhakts will have repercussion throughout the country," he said.

Replying to a question, Singhal said all regional political outfits would soon adopt the Hindu agenda under relentless pressure from the saints and 'Dharmacharyas'.

"Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jaylalithaa has already adopted the Hindu agenda," he claimed and said he himself would tour Andhra Pradesh soon for the purpose. Bureau Report
