The VHP plans to start a Life Insurance For Future (LIFF) for Hindus and their future generations as the organisation feels ‘‘Hindus are more unsafe than minorities’’.VHP international general secretary Praveen Togadia said here today that the organisation intended to collect 1 per cent of monthly income from Hindus and in return would safeguard their lives. ‘‘Unlike the LIC, which collects premium for security for life of an insured person, we intend to safeguard future generations of Hindus,’’ he said. ‘‘About 4,000 civilians have been killed by terrorists in J-K and now is the time to act and create awareness among Hindus, especially youths,’’ Togadia said.Togadia, who was on a visit to Navi Mumbai Sports Association at Vashi here, also said the outfit had mobilised 30 lakh youths and distributed three lakh trishuls, ‘‘not to harm anyone but to boost the morale of the Hindus’’.Later, speaking to reporters in Mumbai, Togadia urged Sonia Gandhi to support the Hindutva cause. Togadia argued that the ‘‘only legal way’’ to resolve the temple issue was to enact a law in Parliament for its construction.‘‘The VHP doesn’t want Ayodhya to be an election issue. Sonia Gandhi should assist in enacting this legislation. Those who support it will get two-thirds majority. Those will go against it will suffer. Ram Janmabhoomi will become the main issue for the 2004 Lok Sabha polls.’’ He also hinted that the legislation tabled in Parliament would receive tacit support from Congressmen. ‘‘Congressmen have always supported it. It’s only after Sonia took over that the party turned into a Muslim League.’’Earlier, Togadia caused ripples when he arrived at a press meet in a bullet-proof car fitted with a red beacon. The red light can be used only by those mentioned in specific notifications issued by state and Central governments.
