    State to review handing over of government properties to RSS, Sangh Parivar

    Bengaluru: The ruling Congress in Karnataka on Friday stated that it would take a re-look at handing over government properties to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and organisations linked to Sangh Parivar.

    The issue is likely to stir a huge controversy in the state. Minister for Health and Family Welfare K. Dinesh Gundu Rao told media that a lot of government properties have been given to the institutions linked to RSS and Sangh Parivar during the rule of previous BJP government.“We have to re-look at all those things, verify whether they were done lawfully and due procedure is followed and take a decision on what can be done now,” he said.

    Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao stated that a large number of government properties have been given to institutions and organisations which are closely linked to the RSS and Sangh Parivar.

    Minister Rao also announced that the contract given to GVK company for providing services of 108 ambulances have been terminated. The system for dialysis in the state is not proper and a contract in this regard has also been canceled. “Immediate works have been taken up now, the pattern of work in the health department is being changed. The work pattern of officers, doctors will have to be changed. Some of the policy matters will also need to be changed,” he said.

    The Congress government had declared that it would get the alleged illegalities investigated committed during the previous BJP government. Dr K. Sudhakar was holding the health portfolio then.

    The Congress government has stated that it has begun the textbook revision exercise to remove the texts written on RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, BJP’s iconic figure Veer Savarkar and texts by right wing authors to the much chagrin of the BJP party. It has been alleged that the BJP government has generously granted land and properties to Hindutva organisations during its tenure in Karnataka.

    It is to be seen the Congress government which took U-turn over the statement on imposing ban on RSS and Bajrang Dal and stated no proposal as such is before it, how the matters will be pursued regarding allotment of government properties to the organisations linked with the RSS and sangh parivar.

    ‘Homosexuality a disorder..’: RSS survey on same sex marriage

    New Delhi: Many doctors and allied medical professionals believe that homosexuality is “a disorder” and it will increase further in society if same-sex marriage is legalised, according to a survey by Samwardhini Nyas, an affiliate of the women’s wing of the RSS.

    A senior functionary of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti, a women’s organisation which parallels the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), said the findings of the survey are based on 318 responses collected across the country covering medical practitioners from eight different pathies of treatment from modern science to Ayurveda.

    In their response to the survey, according to Samwardhini Nyas, nearly 70 per cent of the doctors and allied medical professionals stated that “homosexuality is a disorder” while 83 per cent of them “confirmed transmission of sexual disease in homosexual relations.”

    “From the survey, it is observed that the decision to legalise such marriages may promote more disorder in the society rather than curing patients and bringing them to normalcy,” the RSS body said.

    “Counselling is the better option to cure patients of such a psychological disorder,” it added.

    Samwardhini Nyas’s survey recommended that public opinion should be taken before taking any decision on the demand for legalising same-sex marriage.

    “Over 67 per cent of the doctors in their response to the survey questionnaire felt that homosexual parents cannot raise their offspring properly,” the Rashtra Sevika Samiti affiliate added.

    The survey has been conducted by the Samwardhini Nyas against the backdrop of a five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, hearing arguments on a batch of pleas seeking legal sanction for same-sex marriage”

    “Over 57 per cent of the doctors who responded to the survey disfavoured the Supreme Court’s intervention in the matter,” a senior functionary of the Samwardhini Nyas said.

  • RSS takes out rally at 45 places in Tamil Nadu, Union Minister Murugan participates in Chennai

    RSS takes out rally at 45 places in Tamil Nadu, Union Minister Murugan participates in Chennai

    Chennai (IANS) | After fighting a long legal battle against the DMK government, the RSS on Sunday held route marches at 45 places in Tamil Nadu. Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan participated in the march taken out here at Korattur.

    The legal battle was fought by the RSS leadership after the DMK government banned the regular annual route march to be held on October 2, 2022. The police department informed the RSS that the march could not be allowed since the Islamist organization was banned. The Popular Front of India (PFI) may be attacked by the central government on the route march of the RSS.

    The RSS approached the Madras High Court and a single judge bench allowed the march to be held at three places, which the organization complied with and held on 6 November. However, the RSS approached the bench, which allowed route marches to be held in all parts of the state.

    The Tamil Nadu government appealed to the Supreme Court against the decision, but the apex court upheld the division bench’s decision and allowed route marches to be held across the state.

    Eventually the Tamil Nadu Police had to give permission for the route march and marches were taken out at 45 places on Sunday.
