RSS can't be banned at someone's whim: Hosabale

JABALPUR (MP): (Nov 2) Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale has said the organisation cannot be banned just because somebody wishes so, and those making such a demand should learn from past experiences.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday after the conclusion of a three-day all-India executive meeting of the RSS in Jabalpur, Hosabale was replying to a question about Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's statement that the Sangh should be banned.

"Such attempts were made three times in the past. What did society say then? What did the court say? Despite all this, the Sangh's work kept growing. There must be valid reasons to impose a ban," he said.
