The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is preparing to launch a nationwide campaign focused on several key objectives. These include establishing a new population policy and dismantling waqf boards, which manage properties donated to Muslim religious purposes. These topics, among others, will be addressed at a meeting of the VHP’s Margdarshak Mandal scheduled for January 24th and 25th. Approximately 150 leading Hindu religious leaders will participate in this important gathering at Mahakumbh Nagar to help determine the organization’s future direction.
Specifically, the VHP plans to push for a common charities law that would apply equally to all religious groups in India, including Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs. They believe this law would create a more equitable system for charitable activities across the country. Furthermore, the VHP sees both the new population policy and the common charities law as essential parts of their larger vision for social and religious reform. These initiatives highlight their commitment to reshaping key aspects of Indian society.
The upcoming meeting will be very important for solidifying the VHP’s strategies for these various campaigns. The participation of many influential religious leaders demonstrates how seriously the organization is taking these discussions. In addition, these actions follow the widely publicized construction of the Ram Temple, indicating that the VHP is actively working toward other long-held goals. These developments signal potential shifts in India’s political and social environment. According to a VHP leader, “Our agenda is clear, after Ram temple, it is Mathura and Kashi.”
