Sangh Parivar | The saffron churn
On September 2, as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) wrapped up its Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak, the three-day national coordination meeting of affiliate organisations, prachar pramukh Sunil Ambekar’s press conference was buzzing with reporters. And he didn’t disappoint, picking the opportunity to, as one participant put it, “drop a couple of bombs”. For one, he clarified that the Sangh was in favour of the contentious national caste census (with riders, of course) and, two, he made a public admission of unresolved “issues” between the RSS and its ideological offspring, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which rules at the Centre.Source link
