Panaji:
Congress president Sonia Gandhi's "vindictive" campaign against
the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has driven it to the streets
in protest, Goa's RSS chief said here Monday.
"With the Sonia Gandhi-led UPA unleashing its anti-RSS agenda, it
has been decided to hold nationwide dharnas now. A dharna will be
held in Panaji on November 9 to create awareness against the
sustained campaign to malign the RSS," Subhash Velingkar said.
Velingkar also said that the RSS was trying to 'incorporate' the
Muslim community in Goa and nearly 200 Muslims had jointly
participated in a nation-building programme in the state last
week.
"All the terrorists belong to a particular community, but that
does not mean that all people belonging to that faith are
terrorists," Velingkar said without naming the community.
"Terrorism has nothing to do with religion," he added.
"The Congress is trying to polarise the Muslim community in India
only to gain votes. It is also part of an international campaign
to discredit the RSS," he claimed.
