New Delhi, October 07: Against the backdrop of Rahul Gandhi attacking the RSS, Congress today dismissed suggestions that banning the organisation could end “communal politics”.
“Ban is not a solution,” AICC General Secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Digvijay Singh told reporters in reply to questions whether there was a move to ban the RSS.
He said for banning any organisation, proof and evidence were required and the state government sends them to the Centre.
Singh said when he was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, he found evidence against organisations like the Bajrang Dal and SIMI.
“At that time, the NDA was in power in the Centre. I asked for ban on both SIMI and Bajrang Dal. While it was accepted for SIMI, it was not accepted for the Bajrang Dal which was not right,” the AICC General Secretary said.
