UK politicians concerned with visit of RSS chief urged to take up matter with Foreign Office

August 7, 2016 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

London: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat visited the UK few days back. According to the Sikh Federation UK some UK politicians who have subsequently learned of his visit are being urged to take up the matter with the Foreign Office on why he was allowed to allegedly spread the “fascist RSS message” in the UK to Hindu representatives from across Europe.

“Questions are being asked why the media was excluded from three day event in Hertfordshire. Before the RSS Chief left he addressed a seminar on ‘Identity and Integration’ at the Navnat Centre in south London and again avoided any questions, especially on the level of intolerance towards minorities in India”, reads a release by Sikh Federation UK.

“Perhaps the answer on why he did not want greater exposure is best answered by watching the following episode of Head to Head from the Oxford Union, where Mehdi Hasan challenges Ram Madhav, National General Secretary of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former spokesman of the RSS, the right-wing Hindu nationalist organisation and ideological wing of the BJP”, the statement reads further.

According the Sikh body, [e]veryone, especially UK politicians and the mainstream media should watch the ‘Head to Head’ interview of Ram Madhav on AlJazeera to better understand the mind-set of right wing politicians running India today.
