Coimbatore, September 17: VHP leader Praveen Togadia on Saturday

advocated a `civilisation treaty' between Hindus and Christians to

defeat `jihadi terrorism, spreading all over the world'.

 

"Jihadi terrorism has become the biggest international challenge

and even the main subject of the summit at the United Nations and

the 85 crore Hindus and over 170 crore Christians should jointly

fight and enter into a `civilisation treaty' against this," Togadia

said.

 

He said Hindus and Christians were the victims of the terror. There

was not a single political party in India to protect the Hindu

society on the lines of Republican Party of President George Bush in

the US and Christian Democratic Party in various parts of Europe, he

said.

 

Every country was bringing in legislation against jehadi terrorism

in their own way, like the UK has done recently, he said,

adding "India was the only country in the world, where an anti-

terror law like POTA was repealed".

 

"How can somebody in Kerala dare to burn a Tamil Nadu bus seeking

the release of an accused in serial blast cases, like Abdul Nasser

Mahdhani," Togadia asked.
