A day after sending a notice to Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan for his comments on RSS ideologue M.S. Golwalkar, Sangh Parivar organisations sharpened their attack on the Congress leader, accusing him of hypocrisy.
In a Facebook post, Hindu Aikya Vedi leader R.V. Babu shared pictures of Mr. Satheesan lighting a lamp in front of a picture of Golwalkar before inaugurating a seminar on religious fundamentalism in 2006. He said the Congress leader had earlier sought the help of the RSS to win the Assembly election from the Paravur constituency. “The RSS was not anathema to him at that time. But now, he feels that pandering to Islamic fundamentalism and spewing hatred against the RSS will work out to his advantage in the changed political scenario in the State”.
Another RSS leader Sadanandan posted a picture of Mr. Satheesan participating in a function organised by the Bharatiya Vichara Kendram in 2013. “If Satheesan nursed such a hatred for Golwalkar’s ideology, why did he attend the function? Was he not aware of the organic relationship between the RSS and the Bharatiya Vichara Kendram? He had also made a remark about pseudo-secularism at the function,” he said.
