Amid the controversy over saffronisation of NDA Government the Rashtriya Swayamseyak Sangh (RSS) will hold a ten-day conclave in the state capital starting from October 13.
The meeting of Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal – the highest policy formulation body of the RSS - takes place once a year. The Uttar Pradesh capital will host the event after many years, sources in the RSS said on Wednesday.
All eyes will be on this RSS conclave and its outcome after a raging debate over the definition of Hindutava and allegations of saffornisation of NDA Government
The conclave would witness presence of senior RSS functionaries, including sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat and karyavak Bhaiyya Ji Joshi, between October 13 to 23.
RSS sources said during the meeting, the functionaries would discuss the performance of the Narendar Modi government. Among other topics, the meeting will also debate on “love Jihad,” a term used by the Bharatiya Janata Party to accuse Muslim men of luring Hindu girls into marriage and then forcing them to convert to Islam. Sources said a detailed debate would also be held on the issue of Hinduism during the conclave.
The political situation in the country, and preparations for the golden jubilee functions of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad will also be discussed in this conclave.
