Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, the ideological mentor of Bharatiya Janata Party, on Monday clearly indicated its support to the caste census, but added a rider saying that the census should not be used as ‘a political tool.’ At the end of the three-day Samanwaya Baithak (coordination meeting) between RSS and its frontline outfits, Sunil Ambekar, prachar pramukh (publicity in-charge) of RSS told a press conference: “For the welfare of communities or castes which are lagging behind, which require special attention, government needs statistics, and it is a well-established practice. It was done in the past and can be done again, but it should be meant only for the welfare of these communities and castes, and it should not be used as a political tool for elections. We want to put this as a line of caution for everyone.”from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/ViC35kW
