VHP wants Farooq Govt. to go

JAMMU, SEPT. 9. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad president, Mr. Ashok Singhal, today criticised the ruling National Conference for failure to safeguard Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir and said the Farooq Abdullah Government should be dismissed immediately.

``If the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Mr. Farooq Abdullah, cannot safeguard minority Hindu community in the State from Pakistani jehadis, his Government should be dismissed immediately,'' Mr. Singhal told reporters here after addressing a gathering.

He said Mr. Abdullah had failed to provide safety to Hindus from increasing militant attacks and, therefore, he should leave his chair and allow the Central Government to handle the situation in the State.
