Statement by Shri Mohan Bhagwat, General Secretary, R.S.S
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh takes a very serious view of the cold blooded murder of four of its workers on Saturday, 10th February, 2001, at Sonakhali village under Basand police station in South 24 Pargana district of West Bengal. The RSS workers had gone there to arrange a meeting of the RSS. When they reached the house of one Answer Hussain Sardar, they were fired at point blank, killing four of them on the spot. One worker named Bikarna Naskar, somehow was able to escape, and reached the RSS office which immediately informed the Police about the ghastly crime. But the Police reached the place five hours late. Anwar Hussain, who is a notorious criminal of that area and also an activist of the ruling Left Front, has not been arrested so far.
This gory incident fits in the pattern of the Left Rule in West Bengal, which ideologically may glorify violence and hence may not feel any qualms about employing murder as a policy of statecraft. But the Government at the Centre should not be a silent spectator of this lawlessness in that state.
The RSS strongly condemns this gruesome murder of its workers and tails upon the Central Government to see that the rule of law is established in that State.
It should be appreciated by all that violence, which may be a characteristic of some Fascist type ideologies, has no place in any constitutional democratic policy.
(M. G. Vaidya)
Spokesperson for RSS
