London: Indian diaspora organisations staged a protest at Parliament Square against the visit of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, twenty groups including the South Asia Solidarity Group (SASG) organised the protest. Holding placards condemning Hindutva crimes in India, participants chanted anti-fascist and anti-RSS slogans and denounced Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s anti-minority pogroms.<\/p>\n

SASG organiser Kalpna Wilson said the RSS \u201cgot its inspiration from the Nazis and from Mussolini\u2019s fascists\u201d and cited the organisation\u2019s hostility toward Muslims. She also flagged the RSS\u2019s links with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson and accused the RSS\u2019s UK affiliate, HSS, of instigating Islamophobic violence in Leicester.<\/p>\n

Wilson further said Modi \u201chas turned India into the biggest ally of the genocidal Zionist entity\u201d and noted India is the largest buyer of Israeli weapons, \u201ctested on Palestinians and used against the Kashmiri people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other speakers included Satpal Munan, Chairman of Caste Watch UK; Naim Budhiuzzaman of Indian Muslim Council (UK); and Rajiv Sinha of Hindus for Human Rights.<\/p>\n

USCIRF calls for sanctions against RSS ahead of Mohan Bhagwat\u2019s US visit<\/a><\/p>\n

The organisations had earlier written to the UK Envoy on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Foreign Office, demanding a boycott, condemnation and sanctions against Bhagwat and other RSS leaders.<\/p>\n

Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn expressed solidarity, stating \u201cBritain should not be hosting the leader of a hate group with a grievous history of far-right violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bhagwat, who has visited the US and Canada, is currently touring Western countries.<\/p>\n

Critics say the RSS, parent body of Modi\u2019s BJP, has spearheaded a violent campaign against minorities, Dalits and other marginalised communities. Founded in 1925 by Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in Nagpur, the RSS advocates a \u201cHindu Rashtra\u201d and provides martial training to volunteers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
