published on January 4, 2013

As few Media/Journalists distorted the statements of Mohan Bhagwat,  RSS senior functionary Ram Madhav said, “The statement should be taken in the right prospective. He has condemned the heinous crime and said that if necessary people who are involved in such kind of act should be hanged to death. He said that in Bhartiya tradition, we have great respect for women and if we go away from the Bhartiya tradition of respecting woman, one will end up in indulging in such criminal acts. There is no need to give other interpretations to his statement.

Silchar,  January 04, 2013: RSS  Sarasanghachalak Mohan Bhagwat slammed the poor attitude of governments on Border security issue, said  ”We’ve been passing through a time when the country’s border is not secure, and people are suffering from insecurity and price rise. There’s seems no rescue from such situation.”

He said Hindus taking shelter in India from Bangladesh and Pakistan can’t be called infiltrators. “Hindus should always be treated on humanitarian ground. They can’t become ‘doubtful’ voters. Many Hindus from Pakistan who took shelter in India were granted citizenship. This should be done in case of Hindus who came to India from neighbouring Bangladesh as well,” the RSS leader said.

Mohan Bhagwat was Addressing a citizens’ meet here on Jan 1, Tuesday during his four-day visit to Silchar.

On Assam, Bhagwat said illegal infiltrators from Bangladesh are now in a position to dictate the politics of the state. He said such elements have been sneaking in through a porous international border, threatening the security and integrity of India. But, the RSS chief said, Assam would never become another Kashmir.

Answering to a question, raised by a participant in the interactive programme, Sarasanghachalak of RSS Mohan Bhagwat also criticized the ‘Western’ lifestyle of people in urban areas and said, that crimes inlucding rape is prevalent mainly in cities where Indians are deeply influenced by western values and not by rural India (Bharat).

” Besides new legislations, Indian ethos and attitude towards women should be revisited in the context of ancient Indian values,” Bhagwat said.

The RSS, he said, was for stringent laws against rape and would welcome new legislation on sex crimes and favour capital punishment for those convicted of rape.

Saying that the RSS backed the chorus across the country demanding death penalty for those responsible for the December 16 gang rape of 23-year-old Nirbhaya, who died on December 29, Bhagwat said this needed to be backed by stringent laws. He also slammed the government for applying force against the protesters at Delhi’s Vijay Chowk.
