Islamophobic comments by VHP National Working president, calls to ban Tablighi and Darul Uloom Deoband

The National Working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanded that the government should ban the Tablighi Jamaat in India and "crackdown" on Darul Uloom Deoband as it provides "direct or indirect nourishment" to Jamaat. In a statement, the VHP also demanded that the Nizamuddin Markaz building in Delhi and the bank accounts associated with it should be sealed, and its "economic sources and resources" should be found out and plugged. "Not only Bharat (India) but the whole world is in a serious trouble today due to the transgressions of the Tablighi Jamaat and its Nizamuddin Markaz," it alleged. "The VHP demands a complete ban on Tablighis, Tablighi Jamaat and Ijtema (religious congregation) in India be imposed," the VHP said, alleging that the Tablighi Jamaat is a manufacturing hub of "radical Islamic Jihadism" as well as a host and patron of global terrorism.
