Congress need not teach patriotism to RSS: Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje
Mangaluru, Aug 13: Congress need not teach patriotism to the RSS, and the Sangh Parivar does not want lessons from the very people who joined hands with Pakistan and China, Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shobha Karandlaje said on Saturday.
Addressing reporters in Udupi, she alleged that Congress is a party of people who insulted India in Italy and Europe.
Karandlaje said the Congress had always found pleasure in belittling the RSS and claims it alone won freedom. There is patriotism in the body and mind of RSS, she said.
Though Mahatma Gandhi had asked Congress leaders to disband the party after the freedom struggle, they still cling to the old banyan tree planted by their forefathers, she said.
The Minister said during its rule, the Congress could not take any legal action against the RSS. The motto of the RSS is to propagate patriotism and protect the country, she said.
The Minister condemned the murder of BJP youth wing leader Praveen Nettar at Bellare in Sullia recently. We fail to understand the psyche of people who murder innocent Hindu youths, she said, adding Nettar was never involved in activities against any section and always worked for the people.
The assailants and perpetrators behind the murder should be awarded stringent punishment, the Minister said. The probe into the case should also find out the motive behind the murder and the financing of criminal groups.
She said the NIA would investigate into the case in all angles and find out the perpetrators. I have requested the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure that the killers are strictly punished and he has responded positively, she said.
Urging people to participate in the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Karandlaje said the tricolour should be hoisted in front of every house in the country.

Stop atrocities on Hindus immediately, release ISKCON monk from jail: RSS to Bangladesh interim govt
New Delhi (PTI): The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday appealed to the Bangladesh interim government to ensure the atrocities on the Hindus are stopped and ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das is released from jail immediately.
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale in a statement also appealed to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps to build global opinion in its support "as soon as possible".
"The attacks, murders, looting, arson as well as inhuman atrocities by Islamic fundamentalists on Hindus, women and all other minorities in Bangladesh are extremely worrying and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh condemns this," he said.
Instead of stopping this, the present Bangladesh government and other agencies are only silent spectators, Hosabale said.
"Out of helplessness, a new phase of injustice and atrocities seems to be emerging against the Hindus of Bangladesh to suppress the voice raised by them in a democratic way for self-defense," the RSS general secretary said.
"It is unjust for the Bangladesh government to send ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is leading the Hindus in such peaceful demonstrations, to jail," he added
Bangladesh Police earlier on Monday arrested International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka while he was travelling to Chittagong.
"The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh appeals to the Bangladesh government to ensure that the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh stop immediately and release Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das from imprisonment," Hosabale said.
"The RSS also appeals to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps as soon as possible to build global opinion in its support," he added.
At this crucial time, the RSS general secretary said, India and the global community and institutions should stand with the victims of Bangladesh and express their support, and demand that their respective governments make every possible effort to ensure that atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities are stopped in Bangladesh immediately.
This is necessary for world peace and brotherhood, he added.
