The SJM, a member of the Sangh Parivar, in fact, has decided to launch a full-fledged campaign against the Government to voice its protest. These include conducting seminars, debates and discussions at all levels on the decisions taken up of late by the Government and also to collect signatures of prominent personalities from all states on a memorandum urging the Government to review its policies and withdraw decisions on the IRA and patents bills.

The SJM decision reflects a hardening of posture by the RSS and threatens to shatter hopes of a truce between the the pro-liberalisation lobby within the BJPand the Sangh hardliners, especially after the BJP national executive meeting.

The ABVP, the student wing of the RSS, is already holding a chetavani diwas (warning day) tomorrow in protest against the adoption of these policies.SJM organising secretary P Muralidhar Rao, while briefing reporters about his organisation's national assembly meeting at Patna, blamed both ``socialism and globalisation'' for the ills plaguing the country's economy. ``Both these systems have failed to provide momentum to our economy which is dependent mainly on agriculture and a mix of big and small industries,'' he said, quoting a resolution passed at the meeting.

But Rao tied himself in knots responding to queries on the double-standards adopted by ``pro-swadeshi BJP leaders such as Murli Manohar Joshi and Govindacharya, who had piloted the party's economic resolution at the Bangalore session defending the Government's policies.''

``Those who are in favour of the SJM resolution are not a part of our movement,'' was all hecould in response to repeated queries.

He demanded a nationwide debate on the economic policies being adopted by the Government and to formulate, in their place, an India-centred economic policy.

Observing that all Governments since 1991 should accept the responsibility for various ills plaguing the country's economy, he said India should take the initiative to bring about a South-South cooperation to make the WTO ``developing countries-friendly.''

``India should also question the priorities of the WTO, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,'' Rao added.
