9th September, 2008 - Purvanchal Bandh

There are some organisations in India whose primary duty is to see how the country crawls. Vishwa Hindu Parishad is one among the many. The latest salvo from VHP is a complete shutdown in Eastern Uttar Pradesh over the attack on BJP MP Yogi Adityanath. Yogi Adityanath's cavalcade was attacked by angry mob (jaisi karni vaisi bharni) while he was on his way to address an anti-terrorism rally in Azamgarh district.The VHP has called for a "Purvanchal Bandh" to oppose against "Islamic terrorism".
