In his letter to the chairman FICCI, the state secretary General, VHP (Delhi) Shri Ram Krishna Srivastava said that, 'the sentiments of our citizens would hurt if you allow promotion of any product of the country, who is attacking Bharat by various means since its inception.'
Releasing letter to the media, the state Media incharge of VHP Shri Vinod Bansal said that, 'the citizens of Bharat could have allowed the exhibition in the name of “Terrorist Pakistan”, “Anarchist Pakistan” or “Kapot Pakistan” but not “Alishan Pakistan”. In its letter, VHP Delhi said that, “this exhibition would promote products of the country who is continuously attacking us directly and indirectly. The activities of last fifteen days are more intolerable wherein it is not only violating ceasefire but also promoting separatists on our own soil”. "If this exhibition is not cancelled, by calling Pakistan “Alishan” the Bullet, Gun and Jihadi Terror culture, which is reigning Pakistan, would be encouraged", he added
A copy of this letter has also been sent to the LG & the Commissioner of police NCT of Delhi alongwith the India Trade promotion organization in whose venue – Pragati Maidan, it is scheduled from 11th to 14th of this month. In the name of an initiative to normalize business & economic relations, FICCI in collaboration with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) is holding this 2nd edition of ‘Lifestyle Pakistan’ exhibition in New Delhi.
