NAGPUR: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief KS Sudarshan on Sunday blamed India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for rejecting Nepal’s proposal of merger into India on the lines of other princely states shortly after Independence.
Sudarshan held Nehru responsible for today’s turmoil in Nepal and Tibet, which, he said, was handed over by him to China, despite being aware of the neighbour’s expansionist tendency.
“It was a mistake on Nehru’s part that he refused a proposal by Nepal’s prime minister Matrikaprasad Koirala for including the Himalayan kingdom in India,” Sudarshan said at the concluding function of the third-year officers’ training course at Reshimbaug grounds.
Elucidating that national interest was being sacrificed for personal or selfish interests, Sudarshan said China’s excesses in Tibet were the fallout of Nehru’s folly. “Nehru had no propriety to hand over Tibet to China, which is now staking its claim on Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim,” he said.
Sudarshan targetted Communists for bullying UPA government to side with China. He said India’s communists wagged their tails before China while belittling their own country. “They take credit for the good things and blame UPA government for the bad things,” he said. “Even as oil prices and inflation are rising, they are pretending to be opposed to it; if they are so, they
should withdraw support.”
Sudarshan criticised the Centre for following the western economic model and rejecting India’s cultural and traditional wisdom.
“This is because the people of this country cannot decide what is good for them,” he said.
Taking a leaf from the chief guest, the shankaracharya of Ramchandrapura Math of Karnataka, Shri Raghaveshwar Bharati, who said cow slaughter was a reason for farmers still committing suicides in Vidarbha and elsewhere, Sudarshan appealed to the prime minister to introduce anti-cow slaughter bill in Parliament and get it passed with Congress and BJP support. This, he
said, was an example of selfish political interests overriding national interests. “Stopping cow slaughter was important to the propagation of organic and natural farming, which, in turn, would stop farmers’ suicides" he said.
