AWAKENINGS

SATYAMEVA JAYATHE #ModiWin2019 Zafar Irshad, a Lucknow-based journalist narrates that how his views on Sangh and Swayamsevaks changed overnight Courtesy: Organiser, Nationalists News, Beyond News – link: http://www.organiser.org//Encyc/2018/6/12/How-My-Views-on-Sangh-and-Swayamsevaks-Changed-Overnight.html As a journalist, I’ve covered many events of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). However, I never knew about their ideology and activities much. After the visit of the former President Pranab Mukherjee, as we witness a media storm now, I find it surprising that people do not know about the social works and selfless service of the Sangh at all. I didn’t know about that as well. But, I am a witness to the same and the story must be told. In those days, I was with a newspaper agency and was posted in Kanpur as their principal correspondent. On July 10, 2011, my phone rang and my editor informed me that a serious train accident has taken place at Malwa near Fatehpur.

Their aim seems to eliminate Modi before lok sabha election in May 2019. Added to the above, all so-called sickular forces had plans to defeat BJP and in particular Modi so that Modi will not get a second Term to rule India as PM. They are planning to face election in 2019 jointly together – Modi vs All the Rest. Their target figure seems to be 350+ and time alone can tell how far they are going to achieve it, but, it becomes  a real challenge for BJP+ and Modi/Amit Shaw. It is very much worrying that these anti-developme

T o know Veer Savarkar through the prism of Modi Modi in his monthly radio talk of Mann Ki Baat on 27th May 2018 had said about Veer Savarkar and his speech is reproduced below: Memories of this month are also linked with Veer Savarkar . This was the very month, the month of May 1857, when Indians had displayed their strength against the British. In many parts of the country, our youth and farmers demonstrated their bravery whilst standing up against the injustice. It is indeed sad that we kept on calling the events of 1857 only as a rebellion or a soldiers’ mutiny for a very long time. In fact, May 1857 was not only evaluated as a minor historical incident but was also an attempt to dent our self-respect. It was Veer Savarkar who boldly expostulated by writing that whatever happened in 1857 was not a revolt but was indeed the First War of Independence. Savarkar along with his band of brave hearts celebrated the 50th anniversary of the First War of Independenc

AV Ramana Dikshitulu (Age 69 years) who was TTD head priest was terminated from the services of Holy Tirupathi Shrine along with three other priests viz.

He also demanded a high level inquiry such as a CBI probe, into how temple funds were being  misused. Incidentally, Dikshitulu had also said that crores of rupees were being diverted into other projects and had quoted: TDP MLC G. Thippeswamy from Anantapur proposed construction of a group of temples at Gudimala village in Madakasira assembly segment and sought 10 crore in funding from TTD which was duly endorsed by Endowments Department.
