Guwahati: At a time when religious conversion has emerged as a controversial topic, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) national general secretary Y Raghavulu claimed that every year about eight lakh Hindus are being converted to other religions.
On the sidelines of a function organized to felicitate veteran VHP leader Mohanlal Agarwal here on Sunday, Raghavulu said that eight lakh Hindus are being converted to either Christianity or Islam.
VHP international president G Raghava Reddy was also present at the function, but he refused to speak to the news media.
“Religious conversion of Hindus is taking place in great numbers and this is a threat to India’s integrity,” Raghavulu alleged.
“Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh were once part of Akhand Bharat. Today these have become separate countries. We cannot allow further disintegration of our country,” he added.
