RSS means Rashtriya Sullugarara Sangha: Prof K.S Bhagavan
Bengaluru, September 19: Rationalist Prof K.S Bhagavan said that “RSS is not Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Instead, it is the Rashtriya Sullugarara Sangha (National Liars Association). So, no one should believe their words”.
Speaking at a releasing programme of ‘Jumla Republic’ documentary as part of the national campaign on ‘Let us eradicate intolerance, join against fascism’, organized by the Campus Front of India here on Wednesday, he said that “The Constitution has entitled Equality, Liberty, Fraternity and Coexistence. But the RSS does not believe in it. It is acting against the Constitution. But it gives false statements to appease minorities only during election times. So, the minorities in the country should understand their position. The RSS is insulting the word ‘Sevak’ by calling themselves as ‘Swayamsevaks’”, he alleged.
In recent days, the minorities were becoming more aware. In the same way, the exploited and suppressed class in the Hindu society was also being awakened. But it would not enough to counter the attack. Awareness should be created more among people from the lower communities. It was unfortunate that no community in the society has no cultural leadership. Though a few communities have the leaders, they were claiming themselves as the great against others, he said.
The exploited in the Hindu religion did not understand the country till now. They should understand the country first. India was not restricted to any particular religion. It has several religions and castes and communities. It was not so easy to understand this. It could be understood only through continuous study and work. As the people do not have complete knowledge, the ruling class has been misleading the people, he said.
The BJP which got just 31 per cent votes in the 2014 Lok Sabha election was ruling the country and those who got 69 per cent of votes were in the opposition position. So, in the 2019 election, all opposition parties should come together, share the seats and contest against the BJP as one party, he advised.
Freedom fighter H.S Doreswamy said that “After Modi became the prime minister, the Hindutva force was getting stronger. Those who believe in Hindutva were ruling the roost. But we are also Hindus and following the Hindu religion advocated by Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and others. BJP and Sangh Parivar have been trying to build the nation with their own Agenda. They were trying to establish Manusmriti by rejecting the Constitution. At this moment, everyone should come together to build a New India. For this purpose, all people and communities should be taken together irrespective of religions and classes”, he said.
RSS had announced that it would not hoist the national flag till the Muslims and Christians were there in the country and they would hoist their Bhagavadhwaja as national flag. But they were now preaching about the patriotism and telling that they would not keep Muslims away from the society. It was an election gimmick and it should not be supported, he said.
CFI national president P.V Suhaib, General secretary T. Abdul Nasir, State President Mohammad Tafsir, General secretary Ravoof, Central committee members P. Abdul Nasir and Wasim were present.
“RSS, its allies and the ruling government have been trying to destroy the education system. Recently, when they understood that they would not win in the JNU election, the ABVP, the students wing of the Sangh Parivar, has acted against the democratic system. But ultimately, democracy has won. The ruling party has been targeting the activists, writers, litterateurs and others and branding them as naxals. If we protest and oppose their moves, they were calling us traitors”.

4 children test HIV positive in MP govt hospital; contaminated blood transfusion suspected
Satna/Bhopal (PTI): Four children suffering from thalassemia have tested HIV positive at Satna District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh allegedly due to contaminated blood transfusions, officials said on Tuesday.
The case is four months old and an investigation is underway into it, an official said.
Officials suspect the use of contaminated needles or blood transfusions for the spread of infection to the children.

MP Health Minister Rajendra Shukla told reporters in Bhopal that he has ordered a probe into the matter and sought a report.
“It is also being investigated whether the blood transfusion took place in other hospitals also or only in the government hospital,” he said.
The affected children, aged between 12 and 15 years, received blood transfusions from the hospital's blood bank, as per an official.
Devendra Patel, in-charge of the blood bank at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel District Hospital in Satna, said four children have tested HIV positive and an investigation is underway to determine how they got infected.
"Either an infected needle was used or a blood transfusion occurred. These are the two main reasons I believe. Blood transfusion seems to be the most likely cause," he told PTI Videos.
All these children suffer from thalassemia, and some have received 80 or 100 blood transfusions, he said.
A family member of one of the affected children said that their child was found to be HIV positive during a routine checkup about four months back, and he has been receiving medication, but it had proven to be of no use.
After taking the medication for HIV, the child starts vomiting, feels low and becomes ill, he said.
After the four children were detected with HIV infection, their family members were also tested and the results came out negative, he added.
The Opposition Congress targeted the government over the matter and demanded the resignation of Health Minister Shukla.
Speaking to reporters in Bhopal, Congress MLA and former minister Sachin Yadav claimed such incidents were continuously occurring in Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier, a case of toxic cough syrup came to light in Chhindwara, followed by incidents of rat bites at hospitals in Indore and Satna, and now children have been given HIV-infected blood, he said.
"The health minister is unable to manage the department. He should resign. A murder case should be filed against those responsible for the Satna incident," Yadav said.
Senior Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma termed it a failure of the government. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's government has no connection with ground realities, he charged.
"Somewhere rats are roaming in hospitals, somewhere children are being given HIV-infected blood. Instead of preventing HIV, you are spreading it. Mohan Yadav should wake up from his slumber. Children are the nation's heritage and should be taken care of," he added.
