Thackeray wants a Hindu response to Congress attacks on RSS

Shiv Sena on Monday came to the support of former RSS chief K Sudarshan, who is under sustained attack for his remarks against Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and slammed the Congress for letting its cadre go berserk on the streets in protest.

The lead editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamna called upon Hindus to rise and respond to attacks on RSS offices, apparently referring to burning of Sudarshan’s effigies and attacks on RSS offices by Congress workers over the weekend. The RSS has promoted national pride for years and so should not be questioned, it added.

The editorial also questioned why Congressmen are allowed violent protests when Sena’s protests against Shah Rukh Khan’s statements were unacceptable.
