Amit Shah likely to attend RSS executive meet in Hyderabad on Sunday

New Delhi: A three-day meeting of the All India Executive Council of the RSS is scheduled to commence in Hyderabad from Sunday and BJP chief Amit Shah is likely to attend it on the opening day, sources in the organisation said on Saturday. The inaugural session of the meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Karyakarini Mandal will be inaugurated by Sangh supremo Mohan Bhagwat, senior leader of the organisation Manmohan Vaidya said.

RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi will preside over the meetings and Shah was likely to attend Sunday’s event, he added.

“Nearly 400 senior RSS volunteers, representing every state, will participate. There will be discussions on RSS shakhas, social and service activities and national and social issues,” Vaidya said, adding, “We will discuss the national scenario and some resolutions on key national issues may also be passed.”

To a question on the Uniform Civil Code and the ‘triple talaq’ row, he said, “It is not a part of the agenda here…If the Law Commission has sought the opinions of the people, they should voice them.”

Vaidya claimed that the younger generation was getting attracted towards the RSS as it had received nearly 65,000 online requests to join the organisation in the last six months, which he said was 35% more, compared to the same period last year.
