Kolkata: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP) Friday said it would launch a campaign in West Bengal demanding monthly honorariums to Hindu priests and unemployed youth to protest against the Mamata Banerjee-led government`s decision to pay honorariums of Rs 2,500 to imams.

As part of the campaign named `Amakeo Rs.2500 Dao` (`Give Me Rs.2,500 Too`), signatures of unemployed youth and priests would be taken, said VHP international general secretary Pravin Togadia. "It is time Mamata Banerjee stopped playing the politics of community appeasement. If the imams can get money, what wrong have the priests done? They should also be paid," he said. IANS
