MUMBAI: An article in the ‘Organiser’ that termed IIT Roorkee as “anti Hindu” for serving non-vegetarian food in its canteen has embarrassed the RSS, especially since it has exposed the double standards within those ideologically associated with the Sangh. Many leaders of the Sangh are known to relish meat dishes.“ Till he became RSS Sarsanghachalak in 2009, Mohan Bhagwat used to enjoy non-vegetarian food. I have also seen Balasaheb Deoras having chicken and mutton openly till he became RSS chief . Most RSS pracharaks consume non-veg food. There is nothing anti-Hindu about it,” said Dilip Deodhar, a known RSS researcher and the author of 42 books on the organisation.Organiser Editor , Prafulla Ketkar’s defence was that his publication was not an RSS mouthpiece. “Firstly we are not the mouthpiece of RSS. We are just an RSS-inspired publication. We have many times written against the RSS and the BJP ideology too.Secondly, the piece was an opinion written by Sandeep Singh who is a former IITian. It was not a edit written by us. We don’t subscribe to his views. However we would defend his freedom of expression to write it,” said Ketkar. He admitted that there were concerns raised by many in RSS who objected to Singh’s piece.
