Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today indicated that it may restart the agitation for construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya, and criticised the Prime Minister over his reported remarks on Muslims. Speaking at a public meeting in suburban Dadar, VHP International Secretary Pravin Togadia said his organisation was committed to building the Ram Temple at the disputed site and may resume its pro-temple agitation in the coming months. Referring to PM Manmohan Singh's reported `Muslim first' remarks in a recent speech, he said vast majority of Muslims were educationally backward due to Urdu schools and madrassa system of learning. "Muslims are poor and illiterate because of Urdu schools and madrassa education," Togadia claimed, saying such education can not produce doctors and engineers. The VHP leader also pooh-poohed the findings of the Sachar Committee on state of Muslims, and said opposition to family planning was mainly responsible for the high level of poverty in the country's largest minority community. On Afzal Guru's pending clemency petition, he said it was a shame that the Parliament attack convict has not been hanged yet.
