RSS Sarakaryavah Shri Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi presented the annual report of RSS before the Pratinidhi Sabha. The ABPS paid homage to all the
distinguished persons who contributed to the national cause through their hard work by dedicating their genius, wisdom and abilities in various fields including K Suryanarayana Rao, a guidance force of RSS, Cho Ramasamy, Editor of Tamil weekly, Tughlaq, Selvi J Jayalalitha,
Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, M Balamuralikrishna, Famous classic
musician. RSS mourned the passing away of those who lost their lives in various accidents, natural calamities, who sacrificed their lives in the border skirmishes and those who were made the victims of violence due to political intolerance.
Passing a resolution over the growing jehadi activities in West Bengal, on the second day, the ABPS expressed its grave concerns over the unabated rise in
violence by jehadi elements in West Bengal, encouragement to the anti-
national elements by the state government due to its Muslim vote bank politics and
declining Hindu population in the state. “Fatwas inciting violence are openly being issued by fundamentalist Maulavis. Hindus are being attacked by
fundamentalist elements at several places including Katwa, Kaligram, Ilambazar and Metiaburuj (Kolkata). A large number of Hindus are being forced to flee from the border areas under the pressure of fundamentalist forces. Smuggling of fake currency and cow progeny along with illegal migration are being perpetually encouraged by these very elements. During the investigation of Burdwan bomb blasts, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found that several terror modules exist across the state and this network of Jehadi extremists is spread on both sides of the border,” said in the resolution.
The ABPS strongly condemned the extremist violence and the Muslim appeasement policy of the West Bengal Government and called upon the
countrymen to create awareness against this Jehadi violence and communal
politics of the State Government. It also urged the media to present the prevalent grave situation before the country. The ABPS called upon the State Government to rise above petty vote bank politics and discharge its constitutional obligations. The ABPS also urged the Union Government to ensure firm action against these anti-national jehadi elements of the state in the interest of national security.
The last day of the ABPS was blessed with the auspicious presence of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi aka Amma. Amma visited the ABPS and blessed the
delegates. Shri Mohan Bhagwat and Shri Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi welcomed Amma to the Pratinidhi Sabha. Attended by nearly 1400 delegates from all Prants of Bharat and few from abroad, the annual meet has been concluded on March 21 with
a valedictory speech delivered by Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat.
