Puri (Orissa): VHP today alleged that foreign funds were being used for religious conversion with Centre’s knowledge.

"The Centre is encouraging religious conversion in parts of the country. Foreign funds are being used for conversion with Centre’s full knowledge," VHP international president Ashok Singhal said at a spiritual convention here.

Charging Centre with failing to protect Hindu religion, Indian culture and democracy, he claimed that about 1.5 lakh temples and mutts in states like Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala were on the verge of ruin due to negligence by the Centre as well as respective state governments.

Claiming that Hindu spiritual leaders and sadhus were being targeted, Singhal said about 17,000 cases with false charges had been slapped against sadhus in Orissa.

Shankaracharya of Kanchi was falsely implicated, he said.
