National BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh has slammed Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi for trying to put the RSS in a bad light during the Assembly session.

In a statement, Chugh said today that the RSS has served the Punjab state far better than Congress could ever do.

"In Punjab, the RSS has always worked for communal harmony and amity whereas the hands of the Congress are soaked in blood by causing horrendous incidents like the Bluestar," he said.

Chugh said Channi is absolutely wrong in stating that the Sangh entered Punjab in 1966. In fact, the RSS had started serving in Punjab right from the pre-Independence days much before Channi was even born. "The chief minister should get his facts right before saying something", Chugh suggested.

During the Partition days, the RSS played a pivotal role in helping migrants rehabilitate in a secure environment even as during the militancy days the RSS workers made sure that there was communal peace and harmony in the state. 

Chugh said it was highly immoral and irresponsible on the part of the chief minister to have dragged the RSS in his political fight in the Assembly and demanded that the chief minister should tender an apology for his highly reprehensible remarks.

RSS is ‘Punjab di dushman jamaat’

Channi is absolutely wrong in stating that the Sangh entered Punjab in 1966. The Sangh has been contributing in the development of Punjab and its communal harmony before Independence as well
