Hyderabad: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Sunday upped the ante against Communist parties in Kerala and the Trinamul government in West Bengal. The RSS accused the Communist parties of committing political murders of RSS cadre in Kerala.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the three-day national-level meeting of the executive council members from 42 divisions of RSS across the country here, RSS joint general secretary Bagaiah said a resolution would be passed on political murders of Sangh members and destruction of their property due to the intolerance of CPM cadres in Kerala. RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat, too, is participating in the deliberations.
Mr Bagaiah accused the Trinamul government in West Bengal of minority appeasement politics and gave the recent example of restrictions placed by the government on Durga Puja idol immersions ahead of Muharram, which the Calcutta High Court lifted.
Sangh to ensure SCs, STs get their rights
RSS joint general secretary Bagaiah said that there had been attacks on RSS karyakartas in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, which would be discussed during the three-day meeting. He accused the West Bengal government of not taking any action on increasing attacks on Dalits in the state.
He said that the second resolution to be passed at the meeting would be on the ongoing centenary year celebrations of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay. It would focus on two themes — developing social equality to reduce hatred among people and on keeping tabs on the exploitation of natural resources and working towards sustainable development.
Mr Bagaiah said the RSS had been working on social equality and it would form an important part of discussions during the three-day meeting. He said in a social survey conducted across 489 villages in Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar districts, it was found that 431 had common access to temples, 475 had common access to water and 299 had common burial grounds.
He said that in the villages where there were social differences, RSS volunteers were working to decrease them. RSS cadres were working with other organisations towards ensuring that constitutional rights of people from SC and ST communities in TS and AP were implemented, like the SC/ST sub plan, he said.
