Also, a debate took place on the ideology of RSS and the socio-political scenario of India. In this session, senior journalist and author of ‘Sangam Sharanam Gachhami’ Vijay Trivedi, along with Hindu journalist Rashtra and author of popular books like The Crown Prince, The Gladiator and The Hope Ashutosh and Bharatiya Janata Party leader and MP Rajya Sabha, Sudhanshu. Trivedi, Congress spokesperson Abhay Dubey joined the discussion.
This session was conducted by Anjana Om Kashyap. at the beginning of the program Sudhanshu Trivedi He said that ‘among the preachers of the Sangh, two preachers became prime ministers. They have all contributed to the height that India has reached, but the work of giving respect to that height has also been done.
right there Congress leader Abhay Dubey He responded by saying that this organization born in 1925 did not work for the fight for freedom. The organization fought many battles against the British government. Veer Savarkar was never a supporter of RSS. Your organization is turning 100 years old. Here a person earns Rs 1,600 crore every day, but the farmer’s income does not increase here. The government initiated the Agniveer plan, and even the military was surprised to learn of this proposal. The BJP government makes Dhannaseth’s friends earn Rs 1.6 billion a day.
during this time Analyst Ashutosh He said about the Sangh that it is an organization that was born only on the basis of hatred, I say this on the basis of hatred. The organization that was started in the name of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is not national at all, there is no place for Christians of India, there is no place for Muslims, there is no place for Dalits and backwards in it. This shows that there are two groups working. There is 80 percent Hindu population here, but there is fear of Muslims.
Ashutosh said that if a BJP government is formed in this country in 2014, it will be formed through the path of democracy. No person from the Sangh contributed to the independence of this country. Not a single person from the Sangh went to jail. Responding to this, Sudhanshu Trivedi said leaders like Sardar Patel and Gandhiji had said that the Sangh should be supported. Meanwhile, Congress leader Abhay Dubey said that today freedom fighters have to resort to statements for the sake of the Sangh.
Vijay Trivedi He said that every coin has two sides. Sanctions were imposed on the Sangh on three occasions. There was Congress government all three times. After this, the government withdrew the ban without proving those allegations. I wrote a book on Sangh. Indira Gandhi had issued a postage stamp on Veer Savarkar. The relationship between the Sangh and Savarkar has not been cordial. BJP’s logo is nation first, so why is there concern about Hindu unity? There are also Muslims in the nation.
In this regard, Sudhanshu Trivedi said that today there are 3,376 full-time activists of the Sangh. Sudhanshu recited a couplet on the relationship between RSS and BJP-
‘You say you will cry over relationships, look closely and you will see it in every face.
We feel like a fragrance, there is no noise to be heard.
After this, Ashutosh said about the Sangh that Sardar Patel had said that you were distributing sweets for Gandhi’s assassination. Ashutosh also said that if the government believes so much, why not give Bharat Ratna to Golwalkar? Please respond.
Before the Parliament session, the accusations against the United States were also discussed. Sudhanshu Trivedi said that such allegations are always made. Sudhanshu Trivedi said that everyone knows about the allegations against Adani in the United States and which state governments have been accused of giving money. Apart from Adani, what are the solar companies? They are all Chinese companies. Meanwhile, Congress leader Abhay Dubey said that the allegations made by the United States are very serious. Being scammed.
Ashutosh said those raising questions about EVMs should introspect. If there is evidence, bring it. Vijay Trivedi said wherever elections are held, it is understood that the government does things according to its own rules. The Election Commission should reassure the people. Sudhanshu Trivedi also presented data on government formation in Maharashtra.
Do EVM and the police win the elections? On this issue, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said there was a time between 2 and 25 years ago when the Election Commission was not monitoring it, when there was serious electoral violence in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In those days these people always won. These voter ID cards arrived in 1993. Since then, Congress has never won a clear majority. Since the CCTV footage emerged, the need for a clear majority has ended. Now the electoral process is transparent. Since cell phones came into our hands. Therefore, the reality is that their evil is fading from the public consciousness.
