RSS has all the right to participate in developmental journey: Dhankhar

The Hindu  

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, during Question Hour in the House on Wednesday, ruled that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is “an organisation that has full constitutional right to participate in the developmental journey of the nation” and has “unimpeachable credentials”. While posing a supplementary question, to a query by Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on “Poor handling of entrance exams by the NTA”, Mr. Suman said, “For them the only criteria to assess a person is whether he or she is from the RSS or not…” Mr. Dhankhar sharply objected to Mr. Suman’s remarks. Mr. Dhankhar retorted by saying, “The member was not transgressing rules, he was trampling the Constitution of India.” Referring to RSS as a “global think tank” which is allowed to function under Part 3 of the Constitution, Mr. Dhankhar gave his ruling: “I hereby rule that RSS is an organisation that has full constitutional rights to participate in the development journey of this nation. To take exception that a member of this organisation cannot participate in the development journey of the nation is not only unconstitutional, but beyond the rules.” He also exhorted the House to take pride in the RSS for its contributions to national welfare and Indian culture.
