Ashok Singhal even taunted rape victim parents for thinking ill against Asaram Bapu, “Are they (victim family) not ashamed of it? It is understandable if such allegations are made against a young person. How could anybody level such wicked accusation against an 80-year-old Hindu saint,” he said while addressing a press conference on Sunday.
He even alleged that Hinduism is getting targeted by Sonia Gandhi by framing its saints in terror cases, indirectly giving reference to terror charges against Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Swami Aseemanand, Yogi Adityanand, Swami Dayanand and others, “Aattack on Hinduism by framing saints in false grim cases like terror, murder and rape to insult them had increased ever since Sonia Gandhi took control of the Congress party.”
Ashok Singhal drafted out a multi sphere conspiracy against Hinuds on the arrest of Asram Bapu, “You arrest 80 year old saint on charges of raping a minor girl? This issue is no more about Asaram Bapu’s arrest, this is latest instance of yet another insult of Hindu community, this is to give message to the Hindu community that we will finish respect towards your religious leaders.”
He alleged that sexual assault case against Asaram is another part in the series of attack on 'Hindu culture' which according to him began from the arrest of Kanchi Jayendra Shankaracharya in 2004, Singhal said “Hindu culture is being attacked continuously by targeting our saints. Remember Shankaracharyaji was arrested in Hyderabad on Diwali day in 2004 on murder charges to shame Hindus.”
Infact the well known VHP saint from south India Kanchi Jayendra was arrested in two murder cases, first case was in 2002 for allegedly ordering murderous assault (by hiring thugs) on auditor Radhakrishnan who questioned the missing gold of 83 kg that was meant for Kamakshi temple. In 2004 case for allegedly ordering the murder of Sankararaman, a temple manager and a former devotee of Kanchi mutt, these cases are sub judice.
Ashok Singhal asserts that Asaram Bapu will come out clean from what he called ‘a foisted rape case against him’ as Asaram has happened to did the same thing in the past on the charges of giving alleged Human sacrifice of two young boys at his Gujarat Aasharam. It was alleged that Chief Minister Narendra Modi has helped Asaram in getting an escape in the human scarifies case.
Replying to a question by a journalist on the recently flop show of Ayodhya Yatra, Ashok Singhal firmly stated that 'Chaurasi Kosi Parikrama Yatra' launched in Uttar Pradesh is still continuing by local sadhus even after prohibition orders from UP Govt.
Speaking about VHP future plan to keep Ram Mandir issue alive in next general election VHP president said on October 18, VHP will organize a ‘Jan Sankalp’ (mass swearing) of nearly one lakh Sangh Parivar activists on the banks of the Sarayu river at Ayodhya to take a mass pledge of constructing a temple at Babri Majid demolition site. According to Mr. Singhal apart from Ayodhya more one-lakh places across the country will be chosen for a concurrent Ram Mandir mass pledge.
