The three-day meet of the RSS concluded here on Sunday. The RSS also expressed concern over blasts at Narendra Modi’s rally in Patna on Sunday.

On the opening day,BJP national president Rajnath Singh had addressed pranta pracharaks and tried to convince the RSS that the political situation prevailing in the country is in favour of the BJP. The national executive reviewed 2,500-odd new RSS shakhas that have come up within a year.

Joshi,speaking on the Communal and Targeted Violence Bill set to be introduced in the winter session,said they would oppose it as it seeks to divide society on the lines of minority and majority communities. Claiming that the proposed law was “anti-Hindu”,Joshi said it would further divide society instead of curbing communal violence.

“This anti-harmony bill would be opposed at any cost. The bill shows sinister appeasement politics of the ruling party with an eye on the forthcoming elections,’’ he alleged.
