VHP demands apology from Sonia Gandhi for alleged selective outrage

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded an apology from Sonia Gandhi for her statements, claiming they have hurt Hindus. VHP leader Surendra Jain questioned why Gandhi expressed grief over the Babri demolition but not over the destruction of over 350 temples or the killings of Hindus in Kashmir and Delhi in 1984. Jain also criticized her for not acknowledging the sacrifices of security personnel during the Batla House encounter. Jain highlighted various incidents, including the killing of Hindu tourists in Pahalgam and alleged atrocities against Hindus in neighboring countries. He accused the Congress party of indifference towards these events and of practicing Muslim appeasement. Jain's comments reflect ongoing tensions regarding historical grievances and communal relations in India. The VHP's statements come amid a broader discourse on communal harmony and political accountability.
