All their speeches were fill of communal poison. It was not necessary to spread poison in order to enthuse the Hindus and organise for their protection. As a final result of the poison, the country had to suffer the sacrifice of the invaluable life of Gandhiji.

Under these conditions, it became inevitable for the Government to take action against the RSS…Since then over six months have elapsed.

But from the reports that come to me, it is evident that attempts to put fresh life into their same old activities are afoot.
