New Delhi: According to sources, top Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) officials have said that India needs a comprehensive population policy rather than a population control policy.
RSS said that political violence in Bengal occurs due to political patronage.
According to sources, the RSS said people should think about why political violence occurs in Bengal, adding that there is a “lack of Rajdharma” in the state. It said it was not happy with the state government, but also remarked that the central and state governments were not enemies.
The RSS clarified that the Sangh does not have a formal retirement rule. “The union does not have any constitution that mandates retirement at the age of 75. So we cannot tell this to anyone. Every organization should have its own,” it said.
The RSS also alleged that the West Bengal government often denies permission for its events. It was said that the state government does not allow Bhagwat ji’s meeting. He said that he would have to go to court to get permission.
On BJP’s performance in the state, RSS said, “No one had thought that BJP would win 72-75 seats in Bengal. This is development. Whether they come to power or not is a different matter.”
Reiterating the organisation’s inclusive stance, the RSS said, “Everyone should live freely, but loyalty to the nation should not be an issue. Non-Hindus should not be oppressed, and Hindus cannot be oppressed in Bangladesh.”
According to sources, the RSS also called for linguistic unity, saying there should be “one link language” in the country, although “there can be several national languages.”
It said that the Sangh was also involved in policy discussions with Congress leaders. It said, “We used to talk to Pranab da on issues related to Bangladesh and Nepal.”
According to sources, on constitutional matters, the RSS said Article 30, which guarantees minorities the right to establish and administer their own educational institutions, needs to be reviewed. “This provision should be amended,” it says.
It also emphasized that the Union does not see China as a permanent rival. It said, “We never say that China should always be an enemy. Have relations with everyone, but the supremacy of the country is paramount.”
Highlighting the organisation’s expansion plans, the RSS said it aims to establish one lakh shakhas by October.
