Trust Pravin Togadia to create controversies at regular intervals. Days after another Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal's remarks against Muslims, Singhal issued a veiled warning to the community against the backdrop of violence at a base camp of the Amarnath Yatra. The VHP leader on Saturday said Muslims may have forgotten the 2002 Gujarat riots but would remember the Muzaffarnagar riots of last year. According to reports, he invoked the Ramayana to drive home the point, "If you set Hanuman's tail on fire, Lanka will burn."

About 40 people were injured in clashes between security forces and protesters in Baltal base camp of the Amarnath Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Aap Gujarat bhul gaye honge, par aapko Muzaffarnagar yaad hoga," a daily has quoted Togadia as saying. Togadia said this Indore, at a press conference on the World Hindu Congress Summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi in November this year.

Togadia has reportedly said that while Gujarat riots followed the Godhra incident, the alleged rape of a Hindu girl led to the Muzaffarnagar riots. Togadia has a central team to probe the matter, while holding the Jammu and Kashmir government responsible for the violence.

Todagia's statement come on the heels of VHP patron Ashok Singhal's remarks about Muslims. A few days earlier, he had termed result of Lok Sabha elections 2014 a "setback to Muslim politics". The 88-year-old RSS leader said said that polls in India could be won without the support of Muslims, asked the minority community to learn a lesson and respect Hindu sentiments.
