The Times of India, New Delhi INDIA Wednesday,April 23, 2003 11 After bail, Togadia continues to be All stacked and nowhere to go... defiant on trishuls PTI AFP TIMES NEWS NETWORK Jaipur: Striking a defiant posture soon after his release on bail from the central jail in Ajmer on Tuesday, firebrand VHP leader Praveen Togadia said distribution of trishuls (tridents) across the country would continue. He said the law does not state that a trishul is a weapon. It is merely a symbol of Hin- duism. By branding the trishul as a weapon, the Gehlot government has hurt the senti- ments of the Hindus for which it would have to pay heavily in coming elections. Denying charges that the VHP programme was being carried out with an eye on the com- ing polls, he said: ‘‘Trishuls are being dis- tributed over the last 10-12 years. We have dis- tributed over five lakh tridents not only in Rajasthan, but also in Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.’’ Addressing supporters outside the Ajmer jail, he said: ‘‘The re-establishment of a true Hindu nation is our ultimate aim and nobody can prevent us from doing so.’’ It is unfortu- nate that persons indulging in terrorist ac- tivity were allowed to go scotfree while a per- son trying to spread the message of Hin- Business piled up in the Bhopal grain market (Left) but none of these trucks in New Delhi are willing to ferry the piles of foodgrain. duism is arrested, he added.
