RSS body to host Iftar, invites diplomats of Muslim countries


New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI): Seeking to shed its 'anti-Muslim' tag, an RSS affiliate is hosting a grand 'Iftar' on July 2 where it has invited ambassadors of many countries including Muslim nations like Pakistan to spread the message of unity and harmony and of making India "riots-free".

Organised by Muslim Rashtriya Manch, an affiliate of RSS, the iftar party here would be a much bigger affair this time. It has also asked its members to hold small iftar parties across the country.

"The aim is to tell the world about Indian-ness, helping people from all communities live in peace and harmony...India is a ray of hope and peace for the Muslim world," RSS leader and patron of the Manch Indresh Kumar said.

"Rashtriya Muslim Manch has urged members to host small iftar parties by inviting people from all communities and spreading the message of brotherhood ," he also said.

Citing holy scriptures, he said even the Prophet has said that whenever he felt disturbed, he felt spiritual waves of peace and love coming from the east and referred to 'Hindustan' and that the day will come, when the message of peace and love will flow from Bharat.

The MRM was formed in 2002 as a platform for Muslims at the initiative of RSS with the aim of bringing the two communities together.

    Good move, but it's been better if RSS should have been arranged iftar for poor Muslim backgrounds who cannot afford for food. Almighty better knows your intentions are, At least meaning of Ramadan would have fulfilled.

    Almost iftar parties have good response by some namesake muslims but for the practicing muslim its not possible to share the plate with an organisation like RSS.If rss accept islam as the religion of HAQ OR TRUTH ,then they will never imagine of hosting iftar parties .The main intention of ramadhaan is righteousness as depicted in glorious quran which political hypocrisy ever hates it

    If you look at the statement given by the leaders of RSS and their affiliate associates against the minority and the silence of the RSS top leadership in these matters shows their latent support to such statements and shows the real picture. What is the point hosting such iftars, when these leaders, yell at the top of their voices, targetting minoritie mainly muslims and the top leadership not doing anything to stop them. Can an iftar wipe out all these hurtings. If you see the history RSS has not done anything with the minority to build the communal harmony and has always tried to fish in the trouble waters. How can you trust such overttures when all your previous actions have been on the contrary. Unless there is a real change of heart at RSS and showin in their action, people will not believe in such overtures.

    Spoiling relation is very easy, anybody can do it.
    But trust building is most difficult, it generally takes very long time.
    Concerted efforts are necessary to rebuild the trust.
    Moreover intentions must be genuine.
    If not another attempt for trust building would be even more difficult.
    CONCERN FOR WELL BEING ALONE IS
    CONSIDERED AS GENUINE INTENTION.

    They (sangh parivar) don't like Indian Muslims. But, they want to have good relation with other Muslim countries and diplomats. They like to export BEEF to other countries but, Indian Muslims are killed for eating BEEF.

    They just want to show to the world that they are be best creatures on this planet.

    If the Muslim nations are sending their diplomats for this joker's assembly called " Iftar", what to say about that mammoth bluffing?

    Already the RSS trained BJP M.Ps wrapped up in the Sanyasi outfit have started attacking Mother Teresa also chocking the funding of hundreds of Christian NGOs in India as a pre-calculated attack upon the Christians. Those underground BJP/RSS string pullers may attend Church and will try to participate at the Lord's supper, and if they have an opportunity, they will deliver another version of the " sermon on the Mountain".
    Srmriti Irani's first agenda in 2014 was to erase the Christmas holiday from the calendar of India and to change that as the birthday holiday for Sri. Vajpayee.

    Unless there is policy change towards Muslims these kind of political IFTAR PARTY will not bring any change in Muslims mentality towards RSS.

    Why RSS headed Sangh Parivars targeting minorities in India?RSS/sister concern,MUSLIM MANCH arranges iftar party one hand attacks muslims on the other hand especially during time RAMZAN.A cosmetic change in RSS policy towards minority and especially towards Muslims bear no fruits.
