New Delhi: Twitter has donated 2.5 million dollars (184.04 million rupees) to Sewa International, an organisation associated with India’s extremist outfit, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
In a tweet, Twitter CEO Jack Patrick Dorsey on Monday said that 15 million dollars (1102.2 million rupees) have been split between CARE, AIDINDIA and Sewa International to help address the Covid-19 crisis in India.
RSS has been accused of gross human rights violations. Several international organisations have alleged the role of RSS and its political wing, the ruling BJP party, in anti-Muslim violence pogroms that have taken place in India.
Dear NRIs,
Please don't donate to Sewa International for Covid relief. They work as the welfare wing of RSS. Apart from supporting BJP govt's massive crimes including abandoning Indian citizens in this pandemic, they also traffic children from tribal areas to indoctrinate them.— Neha Dixit (@nehadixit123) May 4, 2021
The 2002 Gujarat Pogrom left thousands of Muslims dead. The RSS-BJP, reported Human Rights Watch, were “the groups most directly responsible” for the violence. The RSS, explained UK human rights outfit Awaaz South Asia Watch, follows a “supremacist ideology called Hindutva” which was “formed in the 1920s and 1930s,” was “influenced by Fascism and Nazism,” and teaches that India should be an “exclusive Hindu nation-state.” In a 2004 exposé, Awaaz claimed that Sewa International’s “main purpose is to raise funds for and support a distinct family of organizations associated with the extremist RSS.”
The extremist organisation is extremely influential in India. Its ideological partner, BJP, has been ruling the country for the past seven years.
Twitter has sparked criticism by announcing that it has donated certain amount to a RSS-affiliated organisation. It has also faced intense criticism for suppressing dissent on its platform and taking no action against indecent posts shared by right-wing extremists.
What’s wrong with TWITTER? They live on Mars? They don’t know what an evil organisation RSS is? And they chose such criminal and cruel organisation to support Covid efforts in India? This is American stupidity at work.
