Indira, Shastri handled Kashmir with 'dedication': RSS chief

     Lucknow: RSS Chief KS Sudarshan has said that only Late Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and his successor, Late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi handled the Kashmir issue with 'dedication'. He said that no Prime Minister with the exception of these two had the courage and conviction to firmly deal with Pakistan, as far as Kashmir was concerned. He said that only the 1965 and 1971 victory against Pakistan, the latter, which also led to the creation of Bangladesh, had in a way kept the country's morale high. ''No Indian Prime Minister except Indira Gandhi and to some extent Lal Bahadur Shastri, had the courage to teach Pakistan a lesson on their demand of Kashmir'', he said while addressing a function at Lucknow. He further said that independent India's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru was responsible for all the ills plaguing the country. "Nehru should be held guilty for all the problems in the country," he added.

India lost opportunities to solve issues with neighbours: Sudarshan (Go To Top)

     Lucknow: Chief of the RSS, KS Sudarshan, on Sunday, said that Indian leaders have lost opportunities to solve problems with neighbouring countries. "There was just one Indira Gandhi who had some sort of clout. But whatever she did was to stay in power. That is why she imposed emergency later," he said while addressing RSS activists here. "When Pakistan was attacked, it was divided into two, one country was Pakistan and the other was Bangladesh. The leaders who came later never tried to solve the problems, though there were opportunities. But they never took advantage of the opportunities," he added. Training his guns on the parties claiming themselves to be secular ones, especially the ruling Congress, Sudarshan accused them of deliberately tarnishing the image of RSS as anti-Muslim. "From the beginning, since times of our founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, Rajjo Bhaiya, Guruji or Balasaheb, the Sangh has deliberately been portrayed as anti-Muslim by greedy and corrupt politicians. They think that by doing this they will get Muslim votes and that is why they have painted a bad picture of the Sangh," he further added.

"We have gathered here to celebrate the birthday of our youth leader. He is the representative of the new generation in the party and a symbol of new thoughts for us. People from all the religions- Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian have contributed in the making of this cake and we will distribute it among the poor people sitting in front of Gurudwaras, Temples and Churches. After this, we will also set up a blood camp," he added. "Yesterday we distributed clothes, blankets and other things in LNJP hospital by the hands of medical superintendent. Since yesterday we had been providing free aid to the poor people and we will continue this practice for the entire one week," he further added.

      Rahul has been actively involved in state politics and seeks to reverse his party's fortunes in Uttar Pradesh, which was once the home borough of the party and now ruled by the Samajwadi Party- led coalition. Congress finished fourth when state elections were last held.
