Kanpur: Opposing the 4.5 per cent reservation to Muslims within the OBC quota, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Praveen Togadia today accused the UPA government and the Congress party of ignoring the interests of Hindus and threatened to launch an agitation against the decision.

"The Centre and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi were trying to appease the Muslim community which was against the interests of backward Hindus. This is a violation of the democratic rights of the majority Hindus and the VHP would agitate against it," Togadia told reporters after a meeting of students organised by the Kanpur branch of the VHP.
