Electoral bonds scheme is an ‘experiment’, concept of minority needs reconsideration: RSS

The electoral bonds scheme is an “experiment” and only time will tell how effective it will be, said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on March 17. Mr. Hosabale also stressed that society needs to ponder over the concept of minorities as described in the Constitution as this idea creates a divide in the society.

Speaking on the concluding day of the organisation’s Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest governing body of RSS, the organisation’s general secretary also said that the ethnic conflagration in Manipur has left grave wounds in the society there.

He said Punjab is witnessing two problems at present with one related to separatist and terror activities in recent past while the second issue was about anarchy being created in the name of farmers protest. “The farmers protest is talking less about farmers... It is disturbing the peace, especially what we have seen in Delhi last year,” he said adding that the matter was discussed in the ABPS meeting.
