Congress appeasing minorities: RSS chief

Nagpur:
The Congress has coined terms like "Hindu and saffron terrorism"
to appease and consolidate its minority vote bank, Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said Sunday.
Speaking at the annual Dassehra function here, Bhagwat alleged
that those who speak of secularism actually create a rift among
different communities.
"Any attempts to bring together the Hindus, Hindu saints and talk
of Ram Temple is viewed with suspicion. We must foil their game
plans," Bhagwat urged his activists.
His comments follow uproar in parliament after Home Minister P.
Chidambaram used the expression "saffron terrorism" to refer to
Hindu radicals accused of terrorist activities.
The RSS chief declared that the struggle to construct a Ram temple
in Ayodhya was not directed against any community and called upon
Hindus and Muslims to unite over this issue.
Touching upon Jammu and Kashmir, Bhagwat said that it was futile
to engage the separatist groups in a dialogue.
The special powers given to the armed forces in Jammu and Kashmir
must not be diluted, he said.
Alleging that Indian Maoists were linked with the Chinese, Bhagwat
said it was important to keep an eye on China in this regard.
Besides thousands of RSS workers, members of the public were
present at the venue -- the RSS headquarters. The chief guest was
music director Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
