Those raising pro-Pak slogans should be sent to Pak: RSS

RSS sought strict punishment for those raising pro-Pakistan slogans and waving flags of that country and suggested that all such people who betray the nation should be sent to Pakistan.

"There should be a law acting against those raising pro- Pakistan slogans with provisions for punishment. Such a person should be sent with his family and belongings to Pakistan", RSS leader Indresh Kumar told reporters on the sidelines of a function here. He was asked for his reaction to increasing incidents of waving of Pakistan flags and shouting of slogans at rallies by separatists in the Kashmir valley. "I have spoken to Islamic scholars and religious leaders about such things and all of them termed such acts as 'dishonesty to their religion' and 'betrayal of the nation'," he said. Home Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier said the Centre will not tolerate such incidents and that those involved will be severely dealt with.

The RSS leader also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion of protecting rights of minorities. During the last 67 years, a wrong habit had developed in the country of practising politics that divide the nation on caste and religious lines. Those who are indulging in this acts are doing things wrong. Therefore the Prime Minister said he will not tolerate such divisive agenda. He guarantees to take all in the development process, he said.
