Adityanath firm on 'ghar vapsi' of 6k on Xmas Day
'Rs 5L To Convert A Muslim, Rs 2L For A Christian'
Dharam Jagran Samiti, an RSS offshoot, has distributed pamphlets in Aligarh seeking donations for converting Christians and Muslims to Hinduism. The pamphlet says it costs Rs 2 lakh to convert a Christian and Rs 5 lakh to convert a Muslim.
It has set December 25 as the date for a major conversion ceremony and put down an annual target of two lakh conversions -1 lakh Muslims and 1 lakh Christians. The pamphlets, carrying the letterhead of the Dharam Jagran Samiti, Pashchim Chhetra (western UP, Braj prant, Meerut and Uttarakhand), have found their way to many houses in Aligarh. The outfit proposes a fund for a grand “ghar vapsi“ (homecoming) of Christians and Muslims whom it calls a “samasya“ (problem) in the country.
The letter addresses recipients as “bandhuwar“ (friends) and says: “Lots of money will be required in the `ghar vapsi' because the work of conversion is increasing -more workers and more people to be covered. Please contribute money so that all arrangements are in place.“
Asked why Muslims and Christians are a “samasya“, Kanshinath Bansal, a Samiti member, said, “Because Christianity is a samasya. Muslim (sic) is a samasya. One worker needs that much money to work on a samasya every year.“ This came even as Yogi Adityanath, the fire brand BJP MP from Gorakhpur, confirmed his visit on December 25 to Aligarh for an event that aims to convert 5,000 Muslims and 1,000 Christians at the local Maheshwari College.
