Pramod Mutalik threatens - 700 Anti-Terrorism Army being trained Mangalore Sept 15: Rashtriya Hindustan Sena chief Pramod Mutalik on Sunday made a startling revelation, that as many as 700 people were being trained to set up an Anti-Terrorism Army of the Sri Ram Sena, to carry out suicide attacks.
Mutalik said he plans to raise the army's strength to 5,000 members, within a year. Addressing a public meet organised by the Hindu Janajagruthi Samiti here to mark the Kashmiri Hindus' Sacrifice Day, he openly called for violent retaliation against the attacks on Hindus by members of other religions. "We have no more patience. We are fed up with attacks and conversions. Tit for tat is the only mantra before us to save Hinduism," he declared, appealing the youth to join his suicide squad in large numbers. Welcoming VHP leader Praveen Togadia's statement that violence should be countered with violence, Mutalik said there was a need to launch a second quit India movement against the anti-nationals. "If centres of religious importance for Hindus are targeted, twice the number of religious centres of the opposite party will be smashed hereafter. If the Hindu girls are exploited by the members of other religions, double the number of girls from other religions will also be targeted," he announced. Stating that Christians have called for a Karnataka bundh on September 23, he said they would not be allowed to stall any kind of activities on that day. DHNS
