BJP MLC questions Nitish government seeking details on RSS
BJP MLC Sanjay Mayunkh on Wednesday raised in the Legislative Council the matter of the Bihar Police Special Branch letter directing its Deputy SPs to gather information on the state functionaries of the RSS and its 18 affiliates.
Patna : BJP MLC Sanjay Mayunkh on Wednesday raised in the Legislative Council the matter of the Bihar Police Special Branch letter directing its Deputy SPs to gather information on the state functionaries of the RSS and its 18 affiliates. BJP, an ally of Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U), is the political arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The letter was issued by the Superintendent of Police (Special Branch) on May 28, two days before the swearing-in of the BJP-led Narendra Modi government at the Centre. "It is a serious matter and I raised it in the Legislative Council. The government must explain how and why the police wanted information about leaders of RSS, the country's largest nationalist organisation," Mayunkh told IANS.
A day after the reports about the letter came out, leaders of the BJP, expressed their displeasure and demanded action against the police officer who issued it. The BJP leaders also expressed surprise that the Deputy Superintendents of Police, to whom the letter was sent, were asked to treat it as urgent and provide the relevant information within a week. Copies of the letter were also forwarded to the ADG, IG and DIG of the Special Branch.
