RSS won’t accept Constitution: Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan
Bengaluru, September 2: Senior advocate and social activist Prashant Bhushan said that the RSS would not accept the Constitution, but it would oppose it.
Speaking at Sahitya Sammelan Dakshinayana for Harmony at the Central College here on Sunday, he said that those who are in public life and power should decide to protect the Constitution. But the RSS has never done this work. Interestingly, those who have been opposing the Constitution and posting hateful messages in social media have been following the Prime Minister’s social media. They were inviting them and take selfies. The Organised Army of the RSS has been doing the work of manipulating the news and posting them in social media, he said.
Through false and fabricated news, the thinking process of the people was being changed. But it was not feeding the farmers. Dalits and tribals were being suppressed and exploited and they were not getting justice, he said.
“There is undeclared emergency in the country and the situation is so worst and weak. Those who speak and write against the government are being targeted. Most of the media houses are under the direct control of the central government. They are either being threatened of cancelling the permission or bribing. BJP and Hindu activists are trying to build Hindu nation. They are not respecting the unity in diversity. Thinking freedom in JNU is being suppressed. If it is questioned, they threaten to close the university. They are planning to change the entire education system as they want. Awareness should be created against this. The message which respect the diversity should be spread among people”, he said.
