Catholic RSS (letter)

Author: M G Vaidya.
Publication: The Times of India
Date: February 9, 2001.

This is with reference to the editorial, 'Political Aftershocks' (Feb 2 (sic)), in which you have said that "there are, however, unconfirmed reports from Gujarat that the ideological bias of the RSS towards certain communities and castes is already evident in the task of providing relief."  Although this assertion is indicative of the usual anti-RSS proclivity, we have been hurt by it.

RSS swayamsevaks have always been in the forefront of providing succour and relief to victims at times of disasters, man-made or otherwise - so much so that irrespective of the geographical location or political situation, as in the aftermath of the Saudi Air crash or even the Orissa cyclone, after the Latur or Uttarkashi earthquakes, the swayamsevaks have never discriminated against any victim on the basis of community, class or caste.  Not only that, the RSS ahs been sensitive to the sentiments and faiths even of those related to the victims of such disasters.

Even though we are surprised by your assertion and belief in the 'unconfirmed' reports, we would like to know more details, so that we can address these lapses that have been purportedly committed by our swayamsevaks.
