Patna: A huge uproar was witnessed in the Bihar Assembly as Opposition Leader Tejashwi Yadav, in his speech, slammed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders of promoting hatred in the society.
“A leader of BJP (Hari Bhushan Thakur) advocated withdrawing voting rights from Muslim people. If that would be possible, leaders like Shahnawaz Hussain and Chief Secretary Amir Subhani will lose the voting rights,” he said in presence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and Ministers Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Shahnawaz Hussain.
“I worked under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the RJD-JD-U coalition government… he said that the RSS is an extremely dangerous institution and I am quoting his statement. It is extremely shocking that Nitish Kumar is not condemning the statement of that BJP MLA. Is he not powerful enough to ask his alliance partner to sack that leader responsible for giving a statement against the unity and sovereignty of the country?”
He further said that Lal Krishna Advani is having the RSS ideology, and had came to Bihar with his communal goal and Lalu Prasad Yadav not only destroyed his goal, but also arrested him. He said, “During the freedom struggle, people of all religions – Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christian, Jains, Buddhists – were fighting for the country but RSS did not. This institution does not believe in our tricolor flag. Hence, it has not hosted even once in its headquarters in Nagpur. Lal Krishna Advani, who is having RSS ideology, came to Bihar to achieve his communal goal and Lalu Prasad Yadav not only destroyed his goal but arrested him as well. We are the army of Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar… no one has the power to withdraw voting rights from Muslims.”
His speech created a lot of chaos in the house. Deputy Chief Minister Tar Kishore Prasad objected on taking the name of the RSS.
“RSS is a cultural and nationalist institution of the country. People like me feel proud as we are associated with it,” he said.
