RSS attacked over terrorism​

3 Nov, 2010, 04.07AM IST,ET Bureau

NEW DELHI: Shedding its reticence, Congress used the chargesheeting of RSS leader Indresh Kumar and others in the Ajmer blast case to launch an offensive against the organisation, equating it with terror, at the day-long session of the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) on Tuesday.

A short resolution adopted at the session said: “Recent revelations through detailed investigations have exposed the true character of RSS and its sister organisations. Investigations indicate the involvement of its members in terrorist activities.”

Vowing to continue its fight against communal forces, the party adopted the statement: “The Indian National Congress has always been in the forefront of the ideological and political battle against communalism of all types. It reiterates its commitment to upholding the secular values that have been the defining characteristic of our composite culture through centuries...communal and terrorist elements, whichever source they may originate from, that aim at destroying our national fabric will be fought at any cost. The Indian National Congress will fight against all such sources that spread religious hatred, prejudice and bigotry and that seek to polarise our people along religious lines.”

While Congress has been traditionally against RSS, blaming “the divisive and communal politics’’ played by it for many of the ills plaguing the country, including the demolition of the Babri monument in 1992, this is the first time it has equated it with terrorism. The development is certain to ratchet up the party’s confrontation with the Sangh Parivar, including BJP.

Senior Congress leader and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee read out the statement at the session and cited an interview of former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to a French journalist to underline the party’s commitment to secularism. “In 1958, a French journalist had asked prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru what his biggest challenge in independent India was. Our prime minister replied that establishing the spirit of secularism...was his biggest challenge. We remain committed to that ideal...In case of RSS...their recent links with terrorist activities, which have been exposed recently, should be brought out.”

Over the past one year, Congress has been consistently trying to corner RSS and other organisations like Abhinav Bharat for their alleged role in terror cases. Home minister P Chidambaram had put the issue firmly on the table in August while addressing a conference of police chiefs. He had called it a “new phenomenon of saffron terror”. While Congress had distanced itself from the usage of the term ‘saffron’, the party put the focus on RSS.

Errr, how much do you know about the RSS?

Do you know RSS has NOTHING to do with religion? Rather, its a Socio-Cultural organisation.

Do you know RSS is a voluntary organisation which played a MAJOR role in India's freedom movement?

Do you know RSS has had multiple luminaries and Indian role models as it's alumni?

It has been a congress propaganda since the time of independence to demonise and alienate the RSS. The media easily falls into their trap. I would urge you to do some research before comparing RSS with the Taliban.

No doubt RSS is fanatical,the babri masjid demolition was masterminded by them, the ajmer blast largely has its members as culprits, the list goes on ,this organisation with its fanatical views is hell bent to destroy the secularism in india

I too am starting to think if congress is playing cheap politics. When we do not see any news about RSS why would she all of a sudden bring up RSS issue? To some how make us feel RSS-BJP nexus is a demon that will radicalize the country. The congressmen bring RSS, saffron terror issues at a planned time to bend people's opinion.


I hate the RSS hooligans but the best way to defeat them is to ignore them. Not to use them as an election strategy.

Wrong on both points:

It was not RSS and not even Congress has said it.If any blame is to come it is Bajrang Dal and some parts of VHP for which they will be punished.

As for the Ajmer blasts...are you the chief of ATS ?? RSS members are alleged to be involved and since it is a Congress controlled state,take it with a truck load of salt.

Any more points/incidents?? Because once you are finished I will give double the number of incidents where RSS has been of immense service to the common man.

P.s.: please define your version of secularism.

Arey is there any doubt in that ?? the timeline goes as:

• Ayodhya Verdict - Muslims not happy,though Congress wants to encash on it,doing so explicitly will antagonise the Hindus.
  
• So HM raises a furore connecting the civil case with the criminal case of the demolition
  
• Bihar polls (where Mulsims play a crucial role) starts and Rahul Baba famously pronounces RSS a terrorist organisation,without any proof of course
  
• He is widely condemned for this atrocious remark and Congress is forced to defend him
  
• Miraculousy within a few days,Rajasthan ATS finds RSS links in Ajmer Blasts and Digvijay Singh/Congress screams - Rahul is vindicated.
  
• CWG/Adarsh scams emerge and Bihar polling not going in their favour - what better way to flog the RSS and achieve two goals simultaneously - Consolidate Muslim vote in Bihar and divert the attention from the scam.

Secularism is a concept where a government stays away from religion ideoligies,where every religion is treated equal,and there is no official religion of the state.now regarding RSS involvement in babri masjid demolition,the proofs against them is overwhelming,the thing that Advani and many senior RSS leaders openly delivered fiery speeches,supporting the demolition is no hidden fact,RSS was instrumental to our freedom cause,but that time was different at that time sincere men were ruling this organisation,we can have few madan mohan malviyas who are very good men,but we surely have many mohan bhagwats who have made the organisation only fanatic with time

1)Secularism is a concept where a government stays away from religion ideoligies,where every religion is treated equal,and there is no official religion of the state

2)now regarding RSS involvement in babri masjid demolition,the proofs against them is overwhelming,the thing that Advani and many senior RSS leaders openly delivered fiery speeches,supporting the demolition is no hidden fact,

3)RSS was instrumental to our freedom cause,but that time was different at that time sincere men were ruling this organisation,we can have few madan mohan malviyas who are very good men,but we surely have many mohan bhagwats who have made the organisation only fanatic with time

1) Then by your definition India is not a secular state.If you want to know why tell,i will gladly explain why.

2) If so many "overwhelming " evidences are there why is the case taking so much time.Surely not everything is in black and white as our media potray it to be.

3)In social service ,even today RSS is un-paralled in India.Whether it is some remote tribal area or disaster affected area guess who is there first - RSS.Also a "Talibanist" leader like Shri Mohan Bhagwat wont give statements like these Will react within law to adverse verdict, says RSS chief

 

[MYSTIC]

I hate all Indian political parties. Who should one vote for Congress (corrupt and cheats), BJP (only represents the Hindus), or the Left (either every one is rich or everyone must be poor, former not being possible would mean disaster for the economy).

May be we need a new political party, that can understand the needs of both urban and rural India. One that is not inclined towards a particular religion, or does not care about vote bank politics. One which represents all caste, creeds and regions.

@twoplustwo and karthik
In rural areas of my district i have seen some people who converted to christianity being forcefully converted back to hinduism by rss.In last week during election day in my town,rss thugs stabbed a police sub inspector(a communist supporter,i think) and where seen shouting 'jai bharat mata'..(If it was done by muslims it would have made news all over india.)sevaks can even be seen conducting knife fighting and martial arts training in temple grounds!From what i percieve there is a violent element in rss and that is not good for india,even if they are blindly patriotic.

I agree.there are rogue elements in all parties..no one is arguing that every soul in RSS is a saint.

But connecting the actions of some rogue elements to the entire organisation and calling it a Terorrist Organisation is something I cant agree upon.

A terrorist organisation is one which is formed with the core-objective of killing civilians and advocating violence to achieve its goals which RSS is none.

Knife fighting is a part of Kalari i gues,an ancient martial arts form of Kerala.So whats wrong in it ?

And as for the "if muslims had done part" , thugs from the PFI hacked off the hands of a professor,but did that stop them from contesting the elections and winning.Where was the bloody media which just gave sidelines at the corner of a page to it and no hue and cry was raised by the bleeding heart liberals,secularists,intellectuals etc,...?

PS: You gave a bad example of forceful conversion..where its the Christian Organisations that indulge in the biggest forced conversions in tribal and other parts of India like North East.

Karthic sir even JuD is involved in charity and that does'nt make them less demonic,how is it that so many RSS members are being unmasked,is it that the ATS has gone mad? I doubt that
