FROM G.S. RADHAKRISHNA Published 18.03.01, 12:00 AM
Hyderabad, March 18 :    Hyderabad, March 18:  The Bajrang Dal has decided to raise an army of three lakh volunteers who will be given special training in the martial arts. Bajrang Dal national convener Surendra Jain said the outfit will be christened the trishul brigade - members will given trishuls as weapons - and volunteers trained in stick-fighting and yoga apart from the martial arts. Members will also be given lessons on how thousands of Hindus were converted by Muslim invaders in the past, Jain said.'This is essential for Hindus to protect themselves against onslaughts mounted in the name of jihad,' he pointed out. The Bajrang convener said the jihad cry had been raised by the Islamic mafia, which was controlled by petro-dollars from West Asia. 'The petro-dollars will be exhausted in the next 20-30 years. But Muslims should be aware of the misinformation campaign,' he said. Jain said it was widely alleged that the minority population in the country was fast decreasing, but the reality was 10,000 mosques and 20,000 madarsas had come up in the past 10 years. 'These are becoming training centres of militancy, hideouts for ISI agents and terrorists as well as dumps for arms and ammunition,' he cautioned. Jain also commented on the tehelka expose, saying he had information that the dotcom had allegedly taken Rs 2 crore from a Congress leader in Haryana to uncover the defence 'scam'. Contending there were incongruities in the Tehelka expose, Jain said the dotcom had initially claimed to have over 100 hours of videotape, but had finally conceded to having four hours of film only. Besides, its reporter Mathew Samuel had taken off for a 'safe house' to avoid questioning. He also questioned how the Congress knew about the Tehelka revelations even before they were put on the website.
