RSS out to harm peace in country, claims Jathedar

Amritsar, October 15

The officiating Jathedar of the Akal Takht, Giani Harpreet Singh, has called for banning of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) activities. He said the RSS activities of emphasising on Hindu rashtra (nation) would end up creating a division among the citizens.

The Jathedar’s statement was in context of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s speech on Vijayadashami in which he termed India a Hindu rashtra.

“People of all religions and faiths live in India. This is the beauty of India. The statements being made by RSS leaders are not in the country’s interest,” he said.

On RSS’ plan to hold events to celebrate the 550thGurpurb, he said, “There is no objection over it, but the Sikh maryada can’t be compromised by any community.” — TNS
