Bangalore, Nov 6: Perturbed by the on and off allegations by Central agencies like CBI on its alleged links with terrorist elements, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has decided to observe a day-long protest against the Centre’s ''political conspiracy” to tarnish its image with allegations on links with terrorist activities on November 10.
The protest programme will be carried out throughout the country, according to National Executive member of RSS Ram Madhav.
Addressing a news conference in Bangalore on Saturday November 6, the RSS leader said the decision to organise protests across the country was taken by the Sangh at its three-day conclave of its Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal (central committee) in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, which ended on October 31.
As part of the protest programme, Ram Yadav said the RSS workers and leaders would hold demonstrations on Wednesday at 11 am at all district headquarters of the State.
In Bangalore, RSS leaders would stage a protest at the Town Hall premises for two hours.
Later, he said a delegation would meet Governor H R Bhardwaj and submit a memorandum against the Centre’s unfounded charges being repeatedly hurled against the RSS.
The RSS would protest against the vindictive and politically motivated anti-Hindu, and anti-RSS canards being spread by some of the Congress leaders.
He said the RSS has always displayed ''zero tolerance to terrorism in all forms.”
''We cannot be cowed down by false accusations by the UPA government headed by the Congress,” he said.
The RSS would take out rallies in different parts of the country to build a campaign in support of the construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya next month, he announced.
Ram Madhav said Jammu and Kashmir was fully integrated into India on October 26, 1947 through the accession treaty signed by the then Maharaja Hari Singh and any challenge to India in the name of ''azadi” (freedom) was ''nothing short of treason.”
''Issues related to autonomy are irrelevant,” he said criticising the alleged anti-national statements by English novelist Arundhati Roy.
Asked about US President Barrack Obama visit, he said: ''We should stand united and tell him (Obama) that the kind of games being played by Pakistan would never be tolerated by India and its people.”
''The border issue with Pakistan is bilateral one and there is no need of foreign interference,” he added.
