"Attack on priests an agression against Hindu civilisation" - Swamy

Describing the recent attack on Indian priests in Nepal as an "aggression against Hindu civilisation", Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy today demanded that India respond to the "cowardly act of Maoists".

"The attack on the Indian priests at the Pashupatinath temple is an act of aggression against Hindu civilisation and the cowardly choice of soft target of priests by the Maoists cannot go unanswered by India," he told reporters here.

Swamy threatened to launch a "Save Hindus of Nepal" forum and mobilise worldwide support to protect Hindus of Nepal if Prime Minister Manmohan Singh failed to act by September 15.

He reiterated his demand for a CBI probe into allegation by Sri Lankan Minister Abdul Risath Bathiyudeen that the banned LTTE had been funding some political parties and their leaders in Tamil Nadu.

Swamy dismissed the highly-publicised recent meeting between AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi and Tamil actor Vijay, saying their combination would not work.

Swamy claimed the AIADMK, his erstwhile ally, was "in a deep slumber"
