Indo-Asian News Service
New York, Aug 31 (IANS) The 12th Hindu Sangathan Divas (Hindu Unity
Day) in New York has unanimously resolved to form a Hindu political
party in India.
At a meet on Wednesday attended by over 700 Hindus, a resolution on
forming a Hindu political party was read by Srichand Sidhwani, a
senior community activist. It was seconded by Babu Suseelan, a
psychiatrist from Pennsylvania, according to India Post, an ethnic
newspaper.
Hindu religious leader Sadhvi Ritambhara and Janata Party chief
Subramanian Swamy led the meet.
"The main aim for this political party would be to safeguard the
legitimate interests of Hindus in India, preserve the Hindu character
of the country, and ultimately capture political power," Swamy said.
Earlier, Narain Kataria, president of Indian American Intellectuals
Forum, the chief organiser of meet, congratulated Hindus of America
for making the Hindu Unity Day a great success.
"Your presence here in this auditorium in big numbers demolishes the
fallacious theory propounded by the prophets of doom that Hindus
cannot be united. Your presence in this hall exposes the myth that
Hindus cannot speak in one voice. Your presence is a testimony to the
fact that Hindu unity on an all-India level is a practicable and
feasible proposition," he said
