Former Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora on Friday told the members of the RSS’ student wing, the ABVP, that their weakness was to get emotional quickly and then act in a manner that they should not have.
Mr. Arora was speaking at the launch of a book about the organisation.
The former CEC, who retired in April 2021, began his address by saying when he was approached by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) Delhi president, Abhishek Tandon, to attend the event and asked if he had any contact with the “sangh”, he had replied that he had not. Mr. Arora said he perhaps he should not have been invited. “This is a learning platform. It’s not for people like us…This is a temple of learning, virtually.”
