SIMLA: Congress government in Himachal Pradesh had shown their height of intolerance by suspending a government Ayurvedic practitioner, stating that he had links with RSS. âHe was working for the RSS. That is why he has been placed under suspension,â told Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh. He also warned that any employee having links with the RSS will be dismissed from service. âGovernment employees will not be allowed to take part in RSS activities. If any employee does so, he will be dismissed,â Singh said. Singhâs statement evoked a sharp reaction from the BJP which termed it as âundemocratic and dictatorialâ.
In a statement issued here, party spokesman Randhir Sharma said that the RSS was a ânationalist social organisation which works for inculcating moral values, honesty, dedication and selfless service.â He said it appeared that the Chief Minister had âno faith in democratic values and was trying to infringe upon the right to views and expression which was violation of the Constitutionâ. The BJP leader informed that Singh was trying to âbrowbeat the honest and dedicated employees and has asked him to quote the article of the Constitution under which government employees could not have links with RSSâ. Sharma dared the Chief Minister to take action against such employees and said that if needed, the BJP would not hesitate to launch an agitation on the issue. Â

If employees with RSS affliation are to be dismissed, then Congress should also fire any employee who visits or has ties with any Masjid, because the masjids are known to be breeding grounds for terrorist activities. The same should hold for christian employees, who have affliation with some churches and christian organizations that propound and advocate intolerance against hinduism and other faiths, and engage actively in religious conversions and instigate anti-hindu sentiments.
RSS is a social service organization. The government should be challenged on its decision to fire employees, on the grounds of infringement of the basic rights of employees to associate with any organization.
The congress's heavy-handed approach towards the RSS has the strong backing of the church and christian evangelical organizations. Over the years, RSS's social services have been increasingly in many backward communities that were considered by christian evangelical organization as their own territory for conversion activities. The RSS is no doubt being viewed as the biggest threat to christian conversion activities in rural India.
