In the All India meeting held in Jabalpur, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Dattatreya Hosabale spoke in detail on many issues and rejected Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement banning RSS.

Responding to Kharge’s statement, Hosabale said, “Talks of banning the Sangh have been made thrice already, but there should be some reason for banning. The society has completely accepted the Sangh.” He said that at present 8399 branches of the Sangh are active and special work is going on to expand the branches in tribal areas.

What did Kharge say?

In fact, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had written in an ex-post that recently topics related to Gandhiji, Godse, RSS and 2002 Gujarat riots have been removed from three NCERT textbooks. He alleged that the Modi government is constantly trying to prove lies as truth, which clearly shows its intentions.

He further said, “In earlier times, people used to spread the ideology of RSS while living in bureaucracy. In such a situation, there was a ban on government employees’ association with political organizations like RSS and Jamaat-e-Islami. But, on July 9, 2024, the Modi government lifted this ban, due to which government employees have been allowed to get associated with RSS and its activities. The people of the organization which was behind the assassination of Gandhiji, which was banned by Sardar Patel, were banned by Sardar Patel. BJP has also banned government employees with the same organization. Has been given permission to join.”

Dharmendra Pradhan hit back

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, “There has been no change in the repressive thinking of the Congress party since the Emergency till today. Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement of banning RSS is an example of anti-democratic mentality.” He further said, “Congress has always ignored the legacy of Sardar Patel and is now using his name to spread lies about a national-serving organization like RSS.

Statement of BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan

BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan said that Kharge’s statement is part of Congress’s strategy of frustration and distraction. He said, “Public anger has erupted in Bihar and across the country over Rahul Gandhi making fun of Chhath Puja. To divert attention from that anger, Kharge ji has given an absurd statement on RSS.”

Kesavan further said, “When Prime Minister Modi exposed the conspiracies of Congress on Sardar Patel’s legacy, the party was stunned. The entire country knows that Sardar Patel had called RSS a nationalist organization. Rahul Gandhi should tell what he had to say on the letter written by Patel to Nehru, in which the National Herald case was mentioned.”

There were several attempts to ban RSS – Naresh Bansal

Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Bansal said, “There were several attempts to ban RSS, but the Sangh emerged stronger every time. RSS prepares nationalist youth who are dedicated to serving the country.” He said, “Nehru ji had said that there would be no saffron in the country, but today the whole of India is colored in saffron. The leaders who make statements like Kharge are just trying to please their masters.”
