New Delhi, September 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):In India, several Opposition parties, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress, have demanded a ban on the Hindu extremist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which is ideological fountainhead of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
The demand for a ban on the RSS comes after Narendra Modi-led BJP government banned the Muslim organization Popular Front of India (PFI) for five years under draconian law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on false charges.
RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav said the RSS is an extremist group that needs to be banned. Congress leader and member of Indian Parliament Randeep Surjewala questioned the BJP for its stand on the RSS.
The Karnataka Congress demanded a ban on the RSS saying that it is involved in ‘anti-social activities’. Opposition leader in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah said RSS is involved in anti-social activities and this organisation should be banned.
Deputy leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and Congress MLA U.T. Khader stated that there should be equal action on those organisations, individuals who are indulging in spreading hatred, pitting one community against the other in the society, staging attacks on individuals.
