WHEN YOU WANT TO CALL SOMEONE NAMES, JUST SAY HE IS FROM RSS.

The BJP has been asking for Election Commissioner Chawla's removal in every forum for a long time and if the Chief Election Commissioner Gopalswami is/was a RSS man he would have taken the same stand as he did now much earlier. So why was Chawla not removed much earlier? In any case Gopalswami is a toothless tiger as the Congress government is not going to take his advice for removing someone whom they have planted in the CEC in the first place for their sole benefit. The Law Minister who is a Party man has already announced that the next Chief Election Commissioner will be Chawla when the present incumbent Gopalswami retires in April 2009, just before the general elections are held. So much for the Election Commission being an autonomous body that brooks no government interference!

But what is wrong with the RSS? Is it because the vested interests from the pseudo-secular political lobby and the English media want us to believe in their spurious propaganda? We will judge every organisation by its actions and refuse to be brainwashed by predisposed opinion serving vested interests. The truth is that the RSS undertakes more selfless work in the remotest corners of the country than even Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity ever did and they have been doing it for decades that include places which are now in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The RSS avoids all forms of advertisement and publicity of its activities as it does not collect money from the general public like most charitable organizations and NGOs we know. All contributions are from its members comprising of a non-denominational open body of millions all over the world as it feels that publicity can make serious workers lose their dedication.

Therefore, all the publicity it gets is negative, motivated and free of cost from its detractors comprising of a committed media and their biased political masters. One should find out what Mahatma Gandhi B.R.Ambedkar and Jay Prakash Narain had said about the RSS- AFTER knowing first hand about its pan-India activities. But to those to whom the Shahi Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid is a patron saint won’t agree. And therein lies the rub.
