“ Abhi to yeh trailer hai… puri picture baki hai [this is just a trailer, the complete picture is yet to come],” Tej Pratap Yadav, Bihar Health Minister and elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, said on Sunday, while announcing the formation of the Dharmanirpeksha (Secular) Sevak Sangh (DSS), a youth organisation, to counter the Rashtriys Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
“Today thr RSS is spreading religious fanaticism… fanning out its divisive ideology in the country but the DSS will counter them,” he told journalists in Patna while leading a rath yatra along with supporters.
The young RJD MLA from Mahua in Vaishali district said “outfits like the Hindu Yuva Vahini [cultural organisation formed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath] are trying to make inroads in Bihar too but the DSS will emerge as a strong counter to them as it has been formed with a vow to establish peace and amity.”
Join RSS first: Sushil Kumar Modi
Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi advised Mr. Tej Pratap Yadav to join the RSS first and see how it worked from within for a year. “I wish his organisation all success, but first he should have some experience of it by joining RSS for a year by wearing shorts and chanting Bharat Mata ki Jai, ” said Mr. Modi.
And Mr. Tej Pratap Yadav retorted, “those who wear half-pants have half-minds too.”
