New Delhi, 10 OctoberIn an effort to provide a vent to the criticism building against the Narendra Modi government's economic policies from within the Sangh Parivar and also internalise the opposition, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) affiliates plan to not only up the ante on the issues of economic distress but have also reached out to groups outside of the Sangh Parivar to be part of their protests.The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), a trade union affiliated to the RSS, has planned a public rally at Delhi's Ramlila Ground on November 17. The Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (SJM), an RSS affiliated think tank on economic policies, has announced a protest on October 29.In a first, the SJM has asked several farmers' and traders' outfits to be part of the October 29 protest in New Delhi. On Tuesday, SJM said the protest would appeal to people to boycott Chinese goods since their sale impacts the indigenous small and medium industries. But the protest would also highlight the growing joblessness .
