New Delhi : Condoling the demise of former President Pranab Mukherjee, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday described him as a “guide” for the Sangh and said he didn”t believe in political untouchability.
Mukherjee was an able administrator who kept national interest supreme, Bhagwat said in a joint statement along with RSS general secretary Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi.
Mukherjee didn”t practice political untouchability and was respected by all parties, the statement said.
“He was a guide for Sangh and was affectionate towards the organisation and his passing away is irreparable loss to the RSS,” it added.
Mukherjee was attacked by the Congress itself in June 2018 for attending an event of Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh the ideological mentor of the ruling BJP.
But later, the Congress was all appreciation after Mukherjee in his speech emphasised that the soul of India is pluralism, tolerance and inclusion.
In his speech, Mukherjee had warned that any attempt to define India through “religion, hatred, dogmas and intolerance” will dilute our existence and said public discourses must be freed of all forms of violence.
Mukherjee”s message to hundreds of ”pracharaks” and top-brass of the RSS, which is often described as a Hindu right-wing organisation, was described as a ”mirror of truth to the RSS” by the Congress, whose several leaders had earlier been critical of his decision to attend the event here at the Sangh headquarters.
Jamaat e Islam Hind, India’s prominent Muslim organization has also expressed deep condolences over the death of Mukherjee. “We are saddened by the death of Shri Pranab Mukherjee, former President of India. Deep condolences from Jamaat-e-Islami Hind” wrote its chief Syed Sadatullah Hussaini on the official Facebook page organization.
“We remember his advice to the nation .We must move from violence anger and conflict to peace , harmony and happiness.Our country deserve that.” he added.
Mukherjee, 84, passed away in an army hospital here.
Pranab Mukherjee, Lest we forget :
1. First President of India who visited Israel.
2. First former President of India to address an RSS event at RSS hq in Nagpur
3. Hailed RSS founder Hedgewar as ‘great son of India’ stating :
“Today I came here to pay my respect and homage to a great son of Mother India,”
The same RSS founder Hedgewar who said Muslims are ‘Yavana snakes’, who should be seen with suspicion.
4. Rejected 30 mercy petitions as President including the mercy pleas of Yakub Memon.
5. As president in 2015 signed the controversial Beef Ban Bill that became a crucial link in the lynchings which followed on more frequently from ever before.
6. He was 84 yrs old, lived his entire life cycle that too “comfortably” and even in his last days the best medical aid has been provided which many can only dream off in times of Pandemic
