Statement of Shri Bhaiyyaji Joshi, General Secretary, RSS on the current situation in the country
Date 16-03-2013
The economic crisis aggravated by the
myopic policies of the Government and neglect of the Agriculture, SSIs
and such other employment oriented sectors is emerging as a serious
cause of concern for the country. The growth rate of manufacturing
sector has nose – dived to the lowest ever level since Independence.
Growing unemployment due to this decline, unabated price rise, widening
deficit in foreign trade and growing dominance of the foreign companies
over the country’s industry, trade and commerce are pushing us to a
grave economic crises and foreign dependence. Besides, the growing
scarcity of resources for Agriculture, Defence and Public Welfare on
account of fiscal crisis is also a matter of serious concern.

Growing incidents of suicides by the
farmers due to neglect of agriculture, dependence of increasing number
of farmers on Contract Farming and the irrational obduracy of the
Government in Land Acquisition matters, etc. are pushing the life of
crores of farmers into grave crisis, besides, affecting Food Security of
the country.

It is a matter of grave concern that
multi-lateral trade agreements and free trade agreements have been
restricting the Government in taking decision in all areas in national
interest and leaving it without option. In the given circumstances
urgent initiative is needed for restructuring the economy for self
reliant development.

Rivers like Ganga and Yamuna on the one
hand are held as centres of profound reverence, and on the other hand
they sustain the livelihood of crores of people besides sustaining
ecological order of a large part of the country. The Government’s
attempts to obstruct flow of these rivers, its neglect of keeping them
pollution free and its apathy towards the popular river protection
movements by ignoring their sentiments are also matters of grave
concern. The RSS welcomes all these popular movements.

On the other hand, river water
disputes, like that of Cauvery, are also a matter of grave concern.
Sharing of river water amongst the States must be done in a judicious
and harmonious manner in the context of larger public good.

Likewise, the Ram Setu, besides being
an object of faith for crores of Hindus, is effectively safeguarding the
rare Thorium reserves, abundantly available in the region. The people
in the country will never accept the obstinate attempt of the Government
to go ahead with the Setu Samudram project by destroying the Ram Setu.

In the past as well, the Government had
to give up before the wrath of the Ram Bhaktas, its attempt to start
the work to build a shipping canal by destroying the Ram Setu. The
affidavit filed by the Government in the Supreme Court, declining to
adopt the alternative alignment, suggested by the Pachouri Committee
raises the questions about its intentions.

We urge the Government to respect the
popular sentiments and dare not touch the Ram Setu, else it will once
again become a target of massive public fury. On all such issues, the
Government should act in national interest, keeping in view the public
sentiments.
