What happened at RG Kar Hospital is shameful, way criminals were protected ..., says RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], October 12 (ANI): In his Vijayadashami address on Saturday, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat condemned the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder case in Kolkata, terming it a "shameful" reflection of the crime-politics nexus.
Criticizing the delay in justice and efforts to protect the criminals involved, Bhagwat urged for vigilance to prevent similar incidents.
Launching an indirect attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government for its handling of the RG Kar-rape murder case.
"What happened in RG Kar hospital in Kolkata is shameful. But, this is not a single incident. We should be vigilant to not let such incidents happen. But, even after that incident, the way things were delayed, there was attempt to protect criminals - this is the result of the nexus between crime and politics, the poisonous culture is ruining us," Mohan Bhagwat said.
Bhagwat said that our country is such that when Draupadi's clothes were touched the Mahabharata happened and when Sita was abducted then Ramayana happened.
"Our view towards women - "Maatrivat Paradaareshu" - is our value tradition that has been passed on for generations. Not being aware or neglecting or despising such values in families and in the media... is proving very costly. We will have to revive the system of enlightening these traditional values through family, society and media," the RSS chief said.
The body of a 31-year-old doctor was found at the R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. Since then thousands of junior doctors in the state have been on a strike.
The RSS chief further claimed that there is an attempt to create conflict by creating separation on the basis of caste, language, province etc.
"Arrangements are being made so that the society, entangled in petty selfishness and small identities, does not understand the all-consuming crisis looming over their heads until it is too late. Due to this, today Punjab, Jammu-Kashmir, Ladakh on the north-western border of the country; Kerala, Tamil Nadu on the sea border; and the entire Purvanchal from Bihar to Manipur are disturbed," Bhagwat said.
Bhagwat in his address on Dusshera, which also marks the RSS foundation day mentioned that there is a sudden increase in the incidents in the country that incite fanaticism without any reason.
"There may be dissatisfaction in the mind about the situation or policies, but there are democratic ways to express it and oppose them. Instead of following these ways, resorting to violence, attacking a particular section of the society, resorting to violence without reason, trying to create fear, is hooliganism. The attempts to incite this or doing it in a planned manner, has been called as 'Grammar of Anarchy' by revered Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Incidents of unprovoked massive stone pelting on the processions of Shri Ganesh Visarjan and the tense situation that followed are examples of the same grammar," he said.
Bhagwat asserted further that it is the job of the administration to prevent such incidents from happening, and to control and punish the culprits immediately.
"But until they arrive, the society has to protect itself and its property along with the lives of the loved ones. Hence, there is a need for the society to always remain fully alert and prepared and to identify these evil tendencies and those who support them," he said. (ANI)
