The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) slammed Akhtar, saying his comments were a “conspiracy” to confuse the society and demanded strict action against him.
VHP national general secretary Milind Parande said “The Taliban is a terrorist organisation which believes in violence and is anti-women. Comparing such organisations with the RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal…..I condemn his statement. All these three organisations do not believe in violence and do not work against anyone”
“They do social service. It seems like a conspiracy when such big people give such statements and society gets confused. His statement was aimed at confusing society by telling lies. Strict action should be taken against him” he added.
