Talk less work more: RSS mantra in run-up to the Lok Sabha polls

Nearly 1,400 selected RSS representatives and office bearers of RSS affiliated organizations are currently meeting at Bangalore to review annual programmes and performance.

RSS expressed serious concerns over attempts made by selfish political interests to divide society in the name of majority and minority which has the potential to vitiate the atmosphere of country's unity and harmony. ''It is high time for the thinkers active in the social and Dharmic spheres to come together and evolve the ways and means to safeguard the unity and integrity of the nation, notes Joshi.

Without directly naming the creation of Telengana state, RSS claimed that considerations of political gains and losses influence the decision-making process on bifurcating big states. ''Decisions should be taken with the consideration and protection of social relationships and mutual confidence. At the time of bifurcation, care should be taken against whipping up passions, and to ensure that people of any section or region do not get the feeling that injustice has been done to them. Otherwise, the possibility of such decisions affecting social relationships in the long run will remain,''opines Joshi.

Further, Joshi referred to the "live in relationship" and "homosexuality'' issues. ''Before extending legality to such things, we have to keep in mind the long-time deleterious effect it will have on our social life,'' argues Joshi.
