New Delhi/Bhopal: RSS leaders, including its chief Mohan Bhagwat, on Thursday made their stand clear on the allegations against BJP president Amit Shah’s son Jay.
The RSS said charges against Mr Jay Shah can be probed if there is prima facie evidence but added that “it is for those who allege a scam to prove it.”
On the sidelines of a meeting in Bhopal, the organisation said the allegations have to be evidenced for them to be worth investigating.
RSS joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said: “If there are corruption allegations against anyone, necessary inquiry should be done and action can be taken accordingly. But there has to be prima facie evidence of wrong-doing.”
After some media reports suggested that the RSS was mulling to allow women to participate in activities of its shakhas or units, the RSS clarified that the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti works with women.
The Congress vice president’s recent remarks when he had asked a gathering of students during his election campaign in Gujarat, why there are no woman in RSS’ shakhas, apparently to target the outfit for not promoting women.
The meeting will see RSS leaders discussing on expansion and strengthning the organisation and its affiliates, review of ongoing progmamme as well as planning for new programme for next three years.
Discussion on political and econmic issues will be part of the agenda. Mr Hosabale was briefing the media about the first day.
