| No powerful Hindu lobby in Indian polity: RSS | | |
Monday, October 16,
The BJP is back-to-Hindutva campaign notwithstanding, the RSS says there is no powerful Hindu lobby in Indian polity.
Moreover, the RSS has also said that the saffron party's victories in assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh were due to its development plank and not Hindutva.
An editorial in the latest issue of RSS mouthpiece Organizer has accused the media of showing scant regard for Hindu sensitivities and said this was because Indian polity lacks a powerful Hindu lobby.
"Because there is no powerful Hindu lobby in Indian polity, the media gives a left-handed treatment to the Hindu sensitivities," it said.
"The media moguls rushed to analyse the 2003 BJP victories in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh as a mandate for development plank - Bipasa (Bijli, Pani, Sadak) they romantically described - not for Hindutva. True, it was a vote for development," said Organizer.
The Sangh publication credited BJP's rise to power in 1990 in Uttar Pradesh, which it described as the "most effective laboratory of Muslim politics" in the country, to the Ramjanambhoomi wave.
"In fact, BJP attracted the cream of Indian society into its fold in the wake of the Ramjanambhoomi agitation because of its support for the movement. The Ramjanambhoomi movement for the first time made Indians think Hindu." |
