Govt reservation proposal attempt to divide Hindus: VHP

New Delhi, May 18 (UNI) The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today termed the Government's new proposal on reservation as an attempt to divide the Hindu community across the country.

Mr Singhal refused be comment on the ongoing anti-reservation agitation by doctors and medical students.

''People should unite against the forces trying to divide them and create awareness against such forces,'' VHP International President Ashok Singhal told a news conference today.

The VHP will soon organise a campaign to generate awareness against such forces, he added.

Mr Singhal claimed successive Congress governments were responsible for 36 per cent of the India's population being illiterate.

''No attempt was ever made for the uplift of these people,'' he added.

He claimed that the VHP was running about 80,000 charitable and educational institutions.
