NAGPUR, AUG. 20:
Upholding the high tradition of renunciation Vandaniya Pramilatai Medhe,

organization of Hindu women, handed over the reins of the organization
to her successor Mananiya Shantakka. The announcement was made in the
ongoing Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabhha of Rashtra Sevika Samiti at

Vandaniya Pramilatai Medhe was Pramukh Sanchalika of the Samiti for six years from 2006 to 2012.
Vandaniya Shantakka,
who belonged to Bangalore, has been Pramukh Karyawahika (General
Secertary) of the Samiti since 2003. She will be fifth Pramukh

Rashtra Sevika Samiti.

Samiti demands stern action against infiltrators in Assam
The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha
(ABPS) of Rashtra Sevika Samiti, the largest and the only organization
of Hindu women, on Monday demanded stern action against the infiltrators
who had sneaked into Assam in large numbers and caused the recent
bloody conflict in that north-eastern border state.
In a resolution
adopted unanimously at its first half yearly meeting at Nagpur the
Samiti strongly condemned the atrocities, loot and arson in
Bodo-dominated areas of Assam perpetrated by these infiltrators from
Bangladesh. The recent violence in Assam took a toll of over 100 lives,
and uprooted lakhs forcing them to seek shelter in relief camps. Over
500 villages have been razed to the ground by these looters and
attackers in cold blood.
The Samiti felt that this violence ‘is a
serious threat to the unity and integrity of the country’. This was an
act of “National Shame”, the resolution noted apprehending the fear that
this entire operation was pre-planned and well orchestrated by the
anti-national forces.
Lamenting the attack on northeasterners in Pune
as an aftermath of Mumbai protest, the resolution blamed the government
for not initiating prompt and timely action to stop such ‘unfortunate’
events. Following this incident, the people of north-eastern states
residing in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune – the cities popularly known as
“IT Hubs of India” started migrating to their own land for fear of life
and dignity.
The Samiti also passed a ‘caustic remark’ over the
speech of the Prime Minister who said in his Independence Day speech
from the Red Fort that he would try to find out the reasons of this
violence. The resolution said that it was strange that the Prime
Minister was not aware of the reason of the violence when a common
citizen of this country knew it very well!
The resolution appealed to
the Assam and Central government to take timely steps and bring the
situation under control keeping in view the national interest and safety
of the citizens.
The resolution demanded that all the Bangladesh
Muslims who came to India after 1951 should be sent back; Rajiv Accord
of 1985 should be scrapped because it suggested the cut –off date as
1971 instead of 1951; the Foreigners Act should be made applicable to
Assam in view of scrapping of IMDT Act by the Supreme Court; the names
of these infiltrators should be removed from the voters’ list forthwith;
they should be identified and tried for treason, and borders of the
country should be safeguarded.
The Samiti appealed to the countrymen
to come forward to help the affected brethren of Assam and assure them
all safety and security so that the integrity and unity of the country
remained unaffected.
