‘Acts
To Curb Terror Do Not Violate Human Rights’: RSS Sahsarakaryavah Dattatreya
Hosabale On Kashmir Issue
“Acts to curb terror won’t violate
Human rights. People and the media should not glorify the terrorists; it should
not make netas out of them. People and media’s support is required to end the
terrorism from India,” said Dattatreya Hosabale, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS) Sahsarakaryavah.
Hosabale was addressing a press
conference held at Kanpur on the sidelines of RSS meet of Pranth Pracharaks.
Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Dr Manmohan Vaidya was also present.
Rejecting claims of human rights
violation in the ongoing battle between civilians and police in Jammu and
Kashmir, RSS Sahsarakaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale on Friday expressed satisfaction
with the Centre’s stand against what he termed as “anti-national activities of
some” in the valley.
Addressing the press conference on
the last day of the week-long meet of Prant
Pracharaks in Kanpur, Hosabale said Kashmir was “burning with terror
activities”, and asked media “not to glorify terrorists”.
“This Baithak was a usual informal
organisational get together of all Prant Pracharaks. Shakha work has increased
considerably. Nearly about 21,000 places have increased during the last six years.
Planning was made to reach more places in the coming year. Sangh always
concentrate on quality improvement along with the quantity”, said Dattatreya
Hosabale.
Hosabale added, “Afzal Guru, Yakub
Memon – all were hanged because they were terrorists. Their hanging was
constitutional. People and the media should not glorify the terrorists, it
should not make netas (politicians) out of them. Your support is required to
end terrorism from India. And there is no violation of human rights in curbing
terrorism. The Centre is doing what it should do to eradicate terrorism and we
support it at every step.”
Following the killing of Hizbul
Mujahideen commander and most wanted terrorist Burhan Wani by security forces
on July 8, there were violent protests in Kashmir which have claimed the lives
of 39 people so far.
Through a week-long meeting of its
all-India executives with Pranth Pracharaks from all 44 prants and 11 Kshetras
across the country, the RSS has chalked out its action plan for the next one
year.
Boasting a rise in number of people
wanting to join RSS, Dattatreya Hosabale claimed the organisation’s support
base has also seen a rise. The organisation has been running a “Join RSS”
campaign and claims to have accepted membership requests from nearly 50,000
people this year alone.
