Sudarshan's Sonia remarks will hurt Sangh: RSS

Jalandhar The statements made by former RSS chief K S Sudarshan about UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi will affect the Sangh, the Punjab unit of the party said today.

"In my view Sudershanji's remark is not correct, it will affect the image of the RSS. It may bring losses to the Sangh," RSS Punjab chief Brijbhushan Bedi said.

He said RSS had already distanced itself from these remarks as RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has made it clear these do not represent the views of the organisation.

Bedi alleged for minority appeasement, some political parties used words like 'Hindu terrorism' or 'Saffron terrorism' to defame the Hindus and the nation.

The RSS had on Friday expressed regret over the controversial statements of Sudarshan against Sonia Gandhi and again made it clear that these did not represent the views of the organisation.

"As the joint general secretary of RSS, I express my heartfelt deep regrets over the alleged statement (of Sudarshan), which had hurt the sentiments, and the subsequent developments that are unfortunate," Sangh leader Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi had said in a statement.

Sudarshan had espoused a theory that the Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi had plotted the assassinations of her husband Rajiv Gandhi and mother-in-law Indira.

In more bizarre charges – in Bhopal last week – he called her a CIA agent and said she had blocked an attempt to remove Satnam Singh as Indira Gandhi’s bodyguard (he would later assassinate her along with another bodyguard). Sudarshan also questioned why Sonia had “insisted” the dying prime minister be taken to AIIMS instead of the nearby Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Topping it all was Sudarshan’s charge that Sonia was an illicit child.
