RAJIV NAGAR (NEW DELHI): Going one step further on his attack against RSS and BJP, the congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Sunday compared them with Hitler’s Nazi party that attacked the Jews.
"In the 1930s Hitler’s Nazi party attacked the Jews… similarly the RSS ideology wants to capture power by targeting Muslims under the garb of furthering nationalism,” Singh said at congress 83rd plenary here in the presence of top brass of congress party including president Sonia Gandhi.
He asked his party men to take steps to convert into trust the mistrust in the minds Muslims.
He said that the RSS has been sowing the seeds of hatred against Muslim in the minds of the new generation through ‘Shishu Mandir’ schools and "this is the biggest danger for the country", he cautioned. Singh also informed that the RSS had made its activists enter the bureaucracy, police and even the Army.
He said the rise of RSS-BJP "ideology of violence and hatred" posed the "biggest challenge" before the nation.
Singh, who seconded the political resolution moved by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee at Plenary particularly targeted senior BJP leader L K Advani for sowing the seeds of separation among the Hindus and Muslims by undertaking the Ram Rath Yatra in 1992.
He said that the demolition of the Babri Masjid was the darkest day in the history of secular India. “The roots of terrorism in India lie in BJP leader L K Advani’s Rath Yatra", Singh stressed.
Commenting on the BJP favourite slogan that all Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims, Singh asked, "Can we apply the same logic and say that all Hindus are not terrorists but all Hindu terrorists arrested in various blast cases are RSS activists?"
Meanwhile the Political resolution adopted at the Plenary has called upon the government to investigate links between terrorists and the RSS and its sister organisations that have been uncovered in some of the recent cases. The resolution which was moved by Mr Pranab Mukherjee says that terrorism from wherever it comes and what ever form it takes must be dealt with firmly and effectively.
The resolution says that the role of religious fundamentalist organizations in challenging the security of the nation can no longer be ignored. Describing secularism as the lifeline of democracy, the resolution says this is threatened by the idealogy of the BJP and its affiliate organisations like the RSS which spreads hatred and violence. It alleged that the RSS and VHP are insidious in their efforts to break India. It has also urged the government to prosecute all those responsible for unforgivable genocide that occurred in large parts of Gujarat in 2002 . In a a scathing attack on the BJP for its double standards on the issue of corruption , the resolution alleged that the party has demonstrated its moral bankruptcy and political hypocrisy.
