RSS’s second signal: Sangh is concerned about Bangladeshi Hindus
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s National Coordination Conference urged the Narendra Modi-led central government to hold talks with the Bangladesh government to ensure the safety of Hindus and other minority communities. RSS’s All India Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar said in a press conference that the situation in Bangladesh was described as a “very sensitive issue” in the three-day conference ‘Samanvay Baithak’ concluded here on Monday.
He said that during the coordination meeting, various organizations presented detailed reports on the situation in Bangladesh. Ambekar said, “Of course, this is a very sensitive issue. Everyone is worried about Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh.” He said that various organizations have requested the central government through their representatives and statements to work together with the Bangladesh government to “ensure the safety of Hindus and other minorities there.”
RSS’s third signal: Sangh’s green signal on caste census
RSS has clarified that there is no problem in collecting caste data for welfare schemes but the issue of caste census should not be used for electoral politics. The Sangh has also said that the Supreme Court’s decision on sub-classification of SC/ST should be implemented by forming a consensus. RSS said that this is a very sensitive issue. This is an important issue for our national unity and integrity. Therefore, it should not be seen only from the point of view of elections or politics. Many times numbers are needed for welfare schemes. The government needs numbers. It has taken them earlier also. But this should be only for the welfare of those castes. It should not be used as a political weapon in elections.
