Quote:The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has reacted strongly to the anti-Sangh tirade by senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh. The organisation said the diatribe was an effort by the ruling party, ââ¬Åwhich is itself surrounded by several controversiesââ¬Â, to divert peopleââ¬â¢s attention from the real issue.
The outfit took strong exception to the Congressââ¬â¢ reference of ââ¬Åminority-majority terrorismââ¬Â, saying it would only weaken the ongoing efforts to deal with terrorism.
A day after Digvijay accused the RSS of pursuing the ââ¬Åsame vendetta politics against Muslims as the Nazis did against Jewsââ¬Â, Sangh stated that the RSS had grown despite similar attempts by the Congress in the past to destabilise it.
ââ¬ÅThis is not the first time that such allegations have been levelled against us under a Congress Government. Every time the Congress is in trouble, it makes futile attempts to level various allegations against the Sangh. But the RSS has grown over the years, merely because it has a direct connect with the society,ââ¬Â RSS sarkaryavah (general secretary) Suresh (Bhaiya Ji) Joshi stated here on Monday.
He also suspected that the recent statement by the top Congress leaders could be another attempt by the ruling party to put nationalist forces in trouble.
Claiming that the Congress had always resorted to communal politics for bagging minority votes, the RSS leader claimed that the Sangh ââ¬Åneither subscribes nor supports violent and terror activitiesââ¬Â in any form.
Joshi pointed out that when investigation into certain terror cases referred to by the Congress leaders was still on and the judicial process was yet to start, the allegations levelled against the Sangh were akin to interfering with the investigation and the judicial process.
ââ¬ÅWe understand that the people of our nation are intelligent enough to understand the Congressââ¬â¢ ploy. We hope that they do not fall prey to the Congressââ¬â¢ divisive politics. The Sangh would continue to serve the society,ââ¬Â Joshi added.
