Srinagar, Feb 09 (KNS): Former Union Minister and senior congress leader, Prof. Saifuddin Soz on Thursday said that Mohan Bhagwat, RSS Chief is known nationally and internationally as a die-hard exponent of the dream of establishing a Hindu Rashtra in India.
In a statement issued to KNS, Soz said, “I think his definition of the expression Hindu will be summarily rejected not only by the Muslims community and the other minorities, but by the overwhelming majority in India.”
He said that Bhagwat has several times in the past been reprimanded by knowledgeable people that his pernicious ideas will never be accepted by the Secular India. “Bhagwat also wants to forget that the BJP with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the helm have had the mandate of 31% of India and it is 69% of the people of India that had rejected the BJP led by Modi and Bhagwat at the last general elections.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel”
“He does not also want to understand that the Constitution of India has defined all the social, Economic and political situations that the citizens in India need to appreciate on different occasions,” Soz added.
Soz said, “He also pretends to be blind to the fact that the expression of Hindu has connotations of faith, whereas his expression of Nationhood is different. Mohan Bhagwat and his cohorts in the RSS must know that the majority of Indians consider themselves Indians and nobody except the RSS will accept the definition of an Indian given by Mohan Bhagwat. In fact Mohan Bhagwat and other RSS cadres are involved in activities that are detrimental to the unity and indignity of India.” (KNS)
