Once birthplace of Naxal movement, Naxalbari hosts Sangh camp
It is an interesting coincidence that the annual summer training camp of RSS is being held at the very place from where the dreaded Naxalite movement had sprung to life during the early seventies. Inaugurating the training at Sarda Vidya Mandir premises on May 7, RSS Sahsarkaryavah Shri V Bhagayya said the Naxalite movement was launched so that the working class, labours and farm workers could lead a respectable life. But that did not happen. Today, we are holding the RSS camp here. The RSS believes in principle of love, brotherhood and welcomes and honours all sections of the society. A total of 148 RSS workers from 106 places are attending the camp. Siliguri Vibhag Sanghchalak, Akhil Bharatiya Sah-Pracharak Pramukh Advait Charan Dutt, Kshetra Pracharak Pramukh Ramapad Pal, Prant Karyawah Pradip Chandra Adhikari, Varg Karyawah Bimalendu Das were also present on the occasion. —Organiser Bureau
