Inaugurating "Jana Samrakshna Yatra" organised by the district unit of the party, he said the United Progressive Alliance government's proposal giving self-rule to Jammu and Kashmir amounted to "treason."

The BJP leader said it would also take all necessary steps to check the flow of foreign funds meant for religious conversion.

Regarding the Left protest against US President George W Bush's [Images] visit to the country, he said it was not proper to protest when a head of nation visits the country in spite of differences of opinion.

The country had the tradition of reverence to a guest, he pointed out.

The Left parties, which support the UPA government from outside, were "cheating" the people by organising agitations when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] was embracing the visiting US President, he added.

Coming down heavily on the Centre's move for a head count of Muslims in the army, the BJP leader said it was part of the UPA government's "minority appeasement policy" and exhorted the people to resist such moves united.
