Though Togadia did not name Modi, this remarks clearly pointed out to Modi's Sadbhavna fasts where minority community turned up in huge numbers to greet him on the dais. "The list (of who hugged jehadis) runs into hundreds," the VHP leader quipped, when asked to give names of the people he was referring to.

When asked to comment on Sadbhavna mission, Togadia said he was in Godhra only to pay tributes to the victims of train carnage. "But I want to caution the country against those who have hugged jehadis and made them sit besides themselves and giving them a certificate of patriotism."

On the occasion, the VHP also launched Hindustan Against Terrorism (HAT) programme. The saffron outfit will rope in former officers of the army, police, judges and advocates for this campaign. He said the programme would cover each district of the country and volunteers would train people to identify terror activities.
