Parameshwara better Home minister than George: RSS

Rashtriya Swa-yamsevak Sangh (RSS) Kshetreeya Sanghachalak V Nagaraj on Friday said the State government was responsible for the deaths of Hindu activists in the state.

He was referring to the recent killing of BJP worker Raju in Mysuru and the deaths of Kuttappa in Kodagu and Prashant Poojary in Dakshina Kannada district a few months ago.

He made these observations while addressing the media here on the deliberations of the  Akhila Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha held in Rajasthan recently.

“Earlier Home Minister in the State (K J George) was ineffective and he also allowed withdrawal of 72 cases registered against KFD and PFI. This instilled confidence among the perpetrators. However, the present Home Minister G Parameshwara is trying his best to handle the situation properly,” he said.

Nagaraj said the killings of Hindu activists was in reaction to youths joining the RSS.

“There was information about possible untoward incident in Kodagu, yet proper security was not provided. It ended in the killing of Kuttappa. It was because of the poor handling of law and order situation by the then Home Minister George,” he said.

Nagaraj expressed concern over the growing anti-national and subversive activities in the universities.

“This has become a matter of concern. When renowned and premier universities, which are expected to groom patriotic citizens by imparting them the lessons of unity and integrity, generate people who raise the slogan for breaking and destroying the nation, this naturally becomes a matter of concern for the patriotic people,” Nagaraj said.
