RSS, BJP don’t have right to represent Hindus: Congress
New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) The Congress party on Friday said the RSS does not have the “character and courage” to admit that they are the “parent political party” of the BJP and stressed that they do not have the right to represent the Hindus.
“Despite talking about the affiliates’ meeting (in Vrindavan), the Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) still does not have the character and courage to say that they are the parent political party of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” said Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma.
Comparing the RSS with an octopus, Sharma said: “It has so many affiliate organisations. They claim to be representing India’s culture and Hinduism. RSS and Hindutva are political ideologies, not the culture, not the philosophy of Hinduism,” said Sharma.
“The majority community of this country has never given RSS or BJP the right to represent the Hindus. This shows their thinking is perverse. Potent mix of religion with politics is what BJP and RSS are doing,” he added.
Sharma further said: “RSS still claims to be a social and cultural organisation. However, no decision is taken in the BJP or in the government without the stamp of RSS. They should stand up and own that they control the political decision-making of the BJP and the policy making.”
A Coordination Meeting of the RSS and its affiliates began in Vrindavan on Friday, which BJP President Amit Shah is also attending.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
