[The Times of India] VHP drive to target 100% turnout, push voting for ‘Hindu cause’

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a prominent outfit of the Sangh Parivar, is planning an awareness campaign to encourage people to vote for the ‘Hindu cause’. The campaign will involve meetings and contact drives among voters, without endorsing any specific party. The organization aims to highlight the work done for the betterment of Hindus and identify groups that it perceives as ‘anti-Hindu’.

The VHP’s objective is to ensure that policymakers prioritize the Hindu cause, which they believe is in the overall interest of the nation. The organization asserts that promoting the Hindu cause does not mean disadvantaging others¹. The campaign will also focus on registering new voters.

Key issues for the ‘Hindu cause’ include cow protection, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and the Ram temple. The organization argues that the CAA, which allows Hindus from countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan to obtain Indian citizenship, protects Hindu interests without taking away citizenship from others.

The campaign is part of a broader effort by the Sangh Parivar, which includes the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and 34 other affiliated outfits, to encourage 100% voter turnout.
