Questions to National HSC

In our effort to keep the focus on the substantive evidence presented in the LyR report, CSFH will send out a series of questions to the national HSC leadership with a single issue or piece of evidence for them to respond to. Our reason for this is simple: we want to make absolutely clear to every reader –- and especially, every HSC member past and present -- that the National HSC has been deceptive about its connections with the RSS family and its only strategy is to distract from the evidence presented in the report.

Week #8 (September 27, 2007): If HSC has been "independently run since 1993", why did VHPA seek to trademark its logo and name in 2003, the very next year after the anti-Muslim carnage in Gujarat in which the "groups most directly involved ... include the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council, VHP), the Bajrang Dal, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that heads the Gujarat state government?
