BJP slams Congress for protest against Bhagwat speech telecast

Delhi BJP today slammed Congress for demonstrating against Doordarshan for the live telecast of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's Dussehra speech , saying it has become a "vision less party".
"Congress in Delhi has become a visionless party whose leaders rejected by the citizens of Delhi keep raising petty issues to try and remain in media coverage," Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay said here in reaction to the demonstration by Congress workers.
Scores of Congress workers and leaders today held a protest here demanding immediate resignation of Union Minister Prakash Javadekar accusing him of forcing Doordarshan to go for live telecast of Bhagwat's speech from Nagpur on October 2.

The Delhi Congress workers led by its chief Arvinder Singh Lovely were detained outside the DPCC office in central Delhi when they tried to carry out a procession towards Doordarshan (DD) office at Mandi House.
Mounting a direct attack on the BJP, Lovely has said the whole country knows that the RSS is an organisation which has always got enmeshed in controversies in its bid to spread communalism.
He alleged the direct telecast of the speech by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has hurt the sentiments of people who strongly uphold the principles of secularism.

Opposing the view taken by Congress, Upadhyay said, "The stress and message of Mohan Bhagwat's speech on Dussehra was on National unity and fruits of development going to all irrespective of caste, creed and religion. But for some fake seculars, the entire nation has lauded the address of Mohan Bhagwat."

Lashing back at Congress, he also said that "RSS is a socio-cultural organization whose activities influenced every third Indian directly for last seven decades, but Congress using its power clout stopped the government news mediums DD and AIR from covering healthy Sangh activities".
"Now with a free editorial policy DD took a right decision to cover Sangh Pramukhs Dussehra address," he said.
