RSS meet to focus on the 'plight' of Hindu immigrants from Bangladesh

17 March, 2013

The three-day Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi sabha (All India General Council Meet) of the RSS that started in Jaipur on Friday last will focus on the plight of Hindu immigrants from Bangladesh. Addressing media persons, RSS Sahsarkaryavah Shri Dattatrey Hosbole said that a resolution would be passed at the end of the meeting. One of the key points of the resolution will be the plight of Hindu immigrants.

Sixty years after the partition of India, lakhs of Hindus are taking asylum in the country because of their worsening conditions in their respective countries. “Our resolution will demand that our Government should ensure basic necessities are provided to them and it should also come out with a concrete policy to deal with such immigrants,” Hosbole said.

He also said that the meeting would discuss in detail the qualitative and quantitative progress of the RSS work done and its impact on the society. Appreciating that last year Forum for Integrated National Security (FINS) took a wonderful initiative – Sarhad ko Pranam, he said about 6000 of RSS swayamsevaks participated in this initiative wherein they visited border areas of the country.

“They experienced the extreme conditions in which our defense personnel guard our borders as well as shared the experiences of our brothers and sisters who stay there,” he added.

Hosbole told the reporters that this year is the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanandaji and Swamiji’s Sardhashati samiti is organizing various programs throughout the country.

He said that on 12th Jan 2013, the actual birth date of Swamiji, Shobha Yatra was organized all over the country. Lakhs of brothers and sisters from all age groups, caste and creed participated in the same.?This sent a very strong message of nationalism and Hindutva in the society. 18th Feb 2013 was celebrated as Mass Surya Namashkar day in which more than 2.5 crore students from class 8th to 12th participated. A large number of Muslim and Christian students also participated in the programme. It was organized keeping in mind Swamiji’s ideology, “sound mind in sound body”.

He said that a press statement would be released on the present scenario of the country including economical, security, terrorism, appeasement and various issues related to the rivers of the country. He deplored that the plight of women in the country, at present, was a very serious issue and corrective steps should be taken on an urgent basis.

He strongly criticized the “unwarranted interference by Pakistan in the internal affairs of Bharat’, referring to the recent resolution passed by Pakistan parliament demanding the return of mortal remains of Afzal Guru to his family. Guru was executed and secretly buried in Delhi’s Tihar jail on February 9, 2013.

“This clearly shows the double standards of Pakistan because on one side they refuse to take the body of Ajmal Kasab or other 12 dead Pakistani terrorists in the Mumbai terror attacks and on another they demand the body of Afzal Guru (be returned to his family). Pakistan needs to put an immediate stop to this undue interference and should respect the law of the land,” he added.

He recalled that various Dharmacharyas and Sant Mahatma passed a resolution at Maha Kumbh for construction of Ram Mandir and petitioned to the Government to ensure the same is done as early as possible.
