Press Statement of RSS General Secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi
In the last few days media has been making allegations about certain
irregularities in the corporate affairs of some political leaders. These
allegations have caused a lot of consternation in the general public.
We are deeply saddened by the efforts to drag the Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh’s name into these allegations and cast aspersions on an
organisation of Sangh’s stature.
Everyone in the country knows that the Sangh has nothing to do with
any of these allegations. In fact it has been an article of faith with
the RSS that any individual or organisation indulging in any illegal
activity must be subjected to impartial probe and all those found guilty
should be punished. It must be borne in mind that some of the
allegations have been levelled by sections of media only and an
authorised agency is yet to look into those allegations. That being the
situation it is unfortunate that the discourse on these allegations has
turned more and more political.
Fight against corruption should be held at a non-political and
non-partisan level. It also should be ensured that the faith and
determination of the people of the country is not shaken due to
sensationalism and carelessness. That is the expectation from the
politicians and media in the country. Otherwise a serious and
significant issue like the campaign against corruption will face the
danger of loosing its steam. Probably that is the real objective of some
selfish elements also.
We appeal to all the concerned to bear these well-meaning principles in mind for the fight against corruption.
