NOT EXPELLED YET HEH
'Hindu culture (in Sri Lanka) is at stake,' Shivaji Lingam said. Singhal said he was not aware of the losses suffered by Hindu temples in Sri Lanka's dragging war.
Most Sri Lankan Tamils are Hindus while an overwhelming majority of the Sinhalese are Buddhists. Both communities have many Christians too. Muslims, the second largest minority after Tamils, mostly speak Tamil but consider themselves a distinct ethnic group.
RSS joint general secretary Suresh Joshi also told Shivaji Lingam and Nagaimugan that his organisation would not allow Hindu religion as well as shrines to be attacked in Sri Lanka. 'We will not allow Hindus anywhere to suffer,' Joshi reportedly said.
The Tamil MP said his meetings with Joshi and Singhal lasted one hour each.
Shivaji Lingam, who flew into New Delhi Monday, had earlier met Jayendra Saraswathi, the Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu who enjoys close ties with the RSS and VHP.
The MP said a meeting had been fixed with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L.K. Advani here on Sunday and that other MPs from TNA could join him that day.

(LBO) - The Sri Lankan government says it plans to allow rice imports despite a record high paddy harvest in the last season.
Suranjana Vidyaratne, Director General of the Department of Statistics said the bumper harvest came from a 100 percent increase in output in key rice growing areas compared with the year before.
These areas were the north-central Anuradhapura and Kurunegala districts, as well as the eastern Batticaloa district.
Government forces freed the eastern region of Tamil Tiger rebel activity last year, allowing normal cultivation to resume in some of the most fertile paddy tracts after years of neglect.
But Consumer Affairs Minister Bandula Gunawardane said Thursday that 10,000 tons of rice would be imported as buffer stock to prevent possible future price hikes.
'There is an attempt in the market to artificially increase the price of rice,' he told a news conference.
'The traders are trying to artificially push prices up before the February harvest.'
He charged that traders tried a similar tactic earlier this year when they tried to push up rice prices.
At that time the ministry of consumer affairs allowed the import of 8,000 tons of rice from Burma to stabilize prices after they nearly hit an unprecedented 100 rupees per kilo.
But economists have said the price hike earlier this year were part of a global commodities bubble which has now collapsed with prices of several commodities falling sharply.
The government budget for 2008 had earmarked 15 billion rupees as fertilizer subsidies.
But this was busted in just five months and the government later increased the subsidies to 40 billion rupees.
The government has allocated 26 billion rupees as fertilizer subsidies in next year's budget.
