Advani wants more women to join RSS

New Delhi, January 15

Senior BJP leader LK Advani today suggested the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) should include more women in its ranks.

Heaping praise on the organisation of “Prajapita Brahma Kumaris” for placing women in lead positions in its hierarchy, Advani said he wanted people and also the RSS, with which he has been associated with for long, to emulate it.

“I have not seen any other organisation like this which is mainly led by women. It is really amazing. I have been associated with one organisation for years and respect it. I humbly tell anyone who meets me to learn from them.

“It is quite difficult and not very easy. The organisation I was referring to is Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh where mainly boys join during their childhood. Females also have a small representation,” the 89-year-old leader said.

He was speaking at the 48th ascension anniversary of spiritual leader Pitashri Brahma, the founder of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya.

He lamented that Karachi, the capital of the Pakistan province where he was born in a Sindhi family, was not part of India anymore and added India appears “incomplete” without Sindh in its territory. — PTI
