BJP MP Manoj Tiwari on Saturday said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was behind the idea that led to the abrogation of Article 370 and asked what India would have been like if the RSS was not there. Speaking at a book release here, the MP from north-east Delhi said the RSS ideology has influenced not only India but the entire world.
“I sometimes wonder what India would have been like today if there was no RSS. Who could have thought that Article 370 would be revoked? When special status was given to Jammu and Kashmir, someone must have taken a pledge that we will win,” BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said, reciting a popular pledge by right-wing ideologue Syama Prasad Mukherjee, saying there are two symbols, two prime ministers and two constitutions in one country.
“The same thinking grew like a banyan tree and made the removal of Article 370 possible,” he said during the release of the book ‘RSS- Seva Samarpan Aur Rashtra Nirman Ke 100 Varsh’. Tiwari said if people go deep into the core of the thought, they can see how this thinking has affected not only India, but the entire world.
Tiwari said, “Today we can worship Lord Shri Ram. There was a time when people were killed with swords and under the feet of horses, they were also converted, no one had the right to speak. Who could have thought at that time that the country would do this. Rise up after 500 years and correct all the mistakes, RSS is at the core of that idea.
