Addressing a gathering at BPS Auditorium Ambala Cantt on Monday, international president of VHP Dr Praveen Togadia who was in the town to preside over a religious function said, “it was not a question of faith of Hindu community but self-respect of nearly 110 crore people belonging to the community in the country”.
Togadia said VHP was constituted in the year 1964 on the day of Krishna Janamashtami when decision was taken to unite the community. He said with passage of time a single large Hindu community was divided in large number of small castes and communities and the number has reached 56,000 now. “These communities speak nearly 2,000 languages but their religion is only Hinduism,” Togadia said.

Togadia said there are more than 60,000 centres in the country organised by VHP for the Hindu community and services of social media is also being taken to bring awareness among people and also for a ban on cow slaughter in
the country.
