Ranchi, Nov.3: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) took a serious note of the silence of human rights organisations on the issue of attack on minority Hindus in Bangladesh during Durga Puja.
Sah Prant Karyavah of RSS in Jharkhand, Rakesh Lal, addressing a press conference, said that a serious note was taken during the recently held meeting of the apex body of RSS, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), in Dharwad, Bengaluru, and resolution to this effect was also passed.
“In the recently held meeting of the apex body of RSS, Akhil Bharatiya Prathinidhi Sabha (ABPS), in Dharwad, Bengaluru, human right oraganisesations and national Muslim leaders, who are known for making hue and cry in case of any incident to communal violence in India and leave no stone unturned to present a wrong image of the country across the world, were under criticism as it was observed they, who coins words like mob lynching, intolerance besides similar others, maintained silences on the killings of Hindu in Bangladesh during Durga Puja. Their comments were expected as Hindus are a minority in Bangladesh,” Lal said.
“The apex body of RSS observed that Hindu population in Bangladesh has been reduced to 8 percent now from 28 percent at the time of Independence but so far none of the human rights organizations has taken note of it and did not speak a single word on Hindus in Bangladesh. The apex body, however, expressed its pleasure over the suo-moto cognizance taken by Hindus across the world on the issue,” Lal added.
Lal, on the occasion, also informed media persons regarding other resolutions taken in the meeting.
Regarding the celebration of 75 years of Indian Independence, the RSS apex body resolved that it will also celebrate the same and make people aware of those heroes of the war of independence whose names were deliberately not included in the history of India and were forgotten.
Regarding the celebration of 400th birth anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur, the RSS apex body resolved that it will spread the story of the sacrifice of Sikh Guru in society and let people know how the sacrifice of Sikhs helped bring change in the society.
Regarding pollution, the apex body resolved that it will not allow anyone to defame Deepawali by associating with pollution.
“The RSS apex body observed that narratives started coming during Hindu festivals taking pollution. During Diwali, so-called environmental experts start requesting people not to burst crackers saying it pollutes the atmosphere but the same environmentalists maintain silence over the bursting of crackers across the world on the occasion of New Year. The RSS apex body observed that environmental protection is not a one-day issue and work is required throughout the year for it.
