NEW DELHI: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday condemned attempts to “pressure the judiciary” and raised concerns over the religious minority status and the spread of jihadist ideology, as its two-day Kendriya Margdarshak Mandal (KMM) meeting concluded here. Reference was also made to jihad as an ideological challenge beyond law and order.Amid growing political pushback against recent court verdicts touching on religious issues, the KMM objected to a proposal in Parliament, backed by DMK and Shiv Sena (UBT), to impeach Madras HC judge Justice GR Swaminathan over a verdict seen as favouring Hindu interests, calling it an attempt to exert undue pressure on the judiciary.VHP international president Alok Kumar told reporters that 225 senior seers from across sects participated in the deliberations. On the question of minorities, Kumar said the Constitution grants special privileges to religious minorities but “does not define what constitutes a religious minority”.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosPM Modi Receives Call From Israeli PM Netanyahu; Reaffirms Support For Gaza Peace PlanUS Pushes $1.25 Billion Into Reko Diq As Critical Minerals Race Heats Up In Balochistan’s Badlands’Detect, Delete, Deport’: Amit Shah Blasts Rahul Gandhi Over Infiltrators, Oppn Stages WalkoutMicrosoft’s Biggest Asia Investment Yet: What The $17.5 Billion India Push Really Means ExplainedOwaisi Calls SIR a ‘Backdoor NRC’ in Lok Sabha, Warns of Selective Religious DisenfranchisementVande Mataram: Priyanka Chaturvedi Urges Parliament To Correct ‘WhatsApp Version’ Of India’s HistoryRahul Gandhi’s ‘Open Challenge’ To Amit Shah In Lok Sabha Over SIR Gets ‘I Will Decide’ ReplyExplained: The Sindhudesh Push In Karachi And The Historical Fractures Driving Pakistan’s TurmoilIndiGo’s 5% Flight Cut Explained: Causes, Impact on Routes, and the Ripple Effects on PassengersMicrosoft CEO ‘Thrilled’ About India’s Growing Data Centre Capacity, Details Meet With PM Modi123Photostories10 high fibre fruits that help ease constipationBhagya Debata, Lal Pahare’r Katha; Mithun Chakraborty’s Bengali roles that blended romance, action and street politics5 homemade natural anti-ageing drinks that nourish from withinWinter Special: How to make Besan ka Sheera at homeNo heartbeat but still alive: 5 animals that survive without a heart’Dhurandhar’ star Sara Arjun just served the most elegant floral moment of the season‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’: Bollywood movies that brought infamous gangsters Alive6 powerful Shiv Mantras and how reciting them regularly can bring in a transformative experience in lifeSHE Travels: 9 beach holidays in India perfect for your next girls’ trip7 daily winter soups for better digestion, immunity & energy123Hot PicksIndia US DealMutual Fund AdvisorSpiceJet FlightGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingPhilip Rivers Earnings 2025Resident Evil 9 UpdatesAnthony Richardson InjuryStephen Curry WifeVenus Williams and Andrea Net WorthSlient Hill 1 Remake Release DateRafael Nadal and Mery Net WorthTrey Benson Injury updateAlvin Kamara InjuryDwyane Wade Wife
