Social activist Teesta Setalvad on Saturday accused the NDA government at the Centre as one being run by RSS. She alleged that issues like “Sanskritisation” were part of a process to change India into a Hindu state.
“I believe the government at the Centre is run by RSS. It is an RSS government. You are confused, I am not confused at all,” she told reporters here. “Regardless of whatever has been stated in the name of development, the government agenda is run by RSS,” she added.
On Hindutva and Sanskritisation “pursued” by BJP, Teesta alleged it was a process of political motive to change the character of the Indian state to a majoritarian Hindu one and implement the agenda first through Home, Education and Culture Ministries.
Speaking on the Alair and Seshachalam encounter cases, the social activist termed it as extra judicial killings and said its terrible to hear the word ‘encounter’.
On the foreign funds to the Sabrang trust, an NGO which she was associated with, Teesta said that they had receive meager funds from aboard and there was no misuse of it.
Reffering to attacks on minorities she said, “Whether it was the attack on nun in West Bengal or Churches in Delhi it happens because of a systematic campaign built about Christians, Muslims and Dalits and it allows social sanction for violence.”
