Bhopal:
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) agitation across the
country Nov 10 is in protest against the policies of Congress
chief Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi which are "dividing
the country", the RSS Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh unit chief
said Monday.
"We have decided to come on to the roads nationwide as the country
is going to be divided due to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and
her son Rahul Gandhi," said Shrikrishan Maheshwari, who is also a
member of the RSS national working committee.
"The (central) government has failed to check terrorism in
country. They are abusing the Sangh and targetting us. And if we
do not come on to the roads, then the country is going to get
divided and the next generation will question us," he told
reporters here.
A statement at a meeting last week of the All India Congress
Committee (AICC), chaired by Sonia Gandhi, had accused the RSS of
"involvement in terrorist activities", while Rahul Gandhi had
termed the RSS as "fanatical" as the banned Students' Islamic
Movement of India (SIMI).
The RSS will Wednesday stage rallies in defence of one of its
leaders involved in the Ajmer blast case and against what it
termed as the Congress-led central government's anti-RSS and
anti-Hindu religion politics.
The RSS leaders denied having any link with the people named in
the Ajmer blast charge-sheet, most of whom hail from Madhya
Pradesh.
"We have only remained involved in the social works
and bonding the Hindus
together. We have no link with terrorist activities. We never
endorse violence," Maheshwari said.
