Hindu Samhati Global Media, New York

Hindu Samhati's Official Statement on Bangladesh Elections: We congratulate the people of Bangladesh for the triumph of the progressive and secular forces in the recently concluded election. Media reports state that the minority Hindu community, in spite of serious disturbances, was able to cast votes and without major hindrances as in previous elections, and we commend the election commission for a job well done. We hope that better days will commence in the length and breadth of Bangladesh and it will abide by and uphold the glorious democratic traditions of neighboring India, the largest democracy in the global arena. However, there are larger expectations from the newly elected government. The dismissal of the despised Vested Property Act (formerly Enemy Property Act, targeting the Hindu population) and the rebuilding of the historic Ramna Kali Temple have been two longstanding demands of the Hindu minority community in that country. We hope that the new Bangladesh governmen

WORKERS’ TRAINING CAMP The previously unfinished Worker’s Training Camp of Hindu Samhati is going to be held from December 31st, 2008 at Gobordanga near Bangaon in North 24 Parganas district. This Camp was planned and started at Gangasagar on 12th June this year. But just after the inaugural session was completed, the Camp was attacked by thousands of local Muslims and Islamic activists. Eighteen of our participants were injured, the Camp building was set on fire. All these were done with the full cooperation of Communist Party India (Marxist) in connivance with the local Police. The Camp had to be abruptly closed as Police arrested 15 campers including Tapan Ghosh, Convener of Hindu Samhati. Now, that camp will be held on 31 December 2008, 1 & 2 January 2009 in a School at Gobordanga, West Bengal.

In the mixed areas of South 24 parganas district, there is a constant flow of Hindu women being smuggled out by the Muslim human traffickers in the name of getting them jobs and/or getting them married them off. Sometimes, Hindu girls/women are simply kidnapped and sold-off to Muslim gangsters. In one such case, a Hindu girl has been traced to Rampur, UP. Hindu Samhati is to submit a memorandum to the Superintendant of Police, Mr. Ajay Ranade, drawing his attention to at least three specific incidents of this sort. Hindu samhati is continuing its grass-root level activities by mobilizing people and discussing the issues important to Hindus. In the immediate past, it has conducted a public meeting in Kultali (South 24 Parganas district) which was attended by about 1000 people. A similar meeting was held at Raidighi in the same district. In Howrah district, a small meeting/discussion was held at Amta which was attended by about 150 people. Another meeting was held at Bagnan in the same d

This year the Islmamic festival, Bakr Eid was on 9th December. Like every year, this year too, Muslims tried to slaughter cows in various new places, even though the Hindus consider the cow to be holy and a sin to kill the animal. Muslims all over the Indian subcontinent often slaughter the cow to spite and pain the Hindu community. But in South 24 Pargana district, Hindus motivated by Hindu Samhati tried to resist it. In several places, memorandums with mass signatures were submitted to local Police Stations and representatives of Hindu Samhati were sent to all party meetings convened by administration. In the following places Hindus were successful to resist Cow slaughter in the follwing places this year.

Kolkata, Dec 3 (PTI) A Pakistani flag was burnt by hundreds of protesters in this metropolis today to condemn Islamabad's alleged hand in the Mumbai terror attacks. The protesters, who took out the procession in College Street under the banner of 'Hindu Samhati', spat and kicked the flag before burning it and shouted slogans against the Pakistani government. They also demanded that the Centre act immediately to "teach Pakistan a lesson once and for all". The terrorists came not to shatter our economy but to shatter our nation, the protesters said, alleging that the November 26 attack had once again established involvement of Pakistan and jihadis. The protesters later observed a minute's silence in memory of those killed in the audacious attacks. PTI. http://www.ptinews.com/pti%5Cptisite.nsf/0/E2DC50D9EF10537265257514004B5AA5?OpenDocument
