RSS-affiliated outfits rally against Cockroach Janta Party
Cockroach faces RSS backlash, outfits linked to RSS take out rally to defend country's education system from anarchy - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

Some groups connected to the RSS, which is like the BJP's big family, had a big protest in Malda town.

They were upset with another group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

The RSS groups said the CJP was trying to cause trouble in schools and with teachers.

They had a lot of teachers and students join their protest.

The RSS groups said they just want to protect the education system.

But the CJP says the RSS groups are trying to cause trouble.

The protest was a big deal because it shows that the RSS and BJP are fighting back against the CJP.

The Left Front in Malda thinks the RSS is just trying to help the BJP, but they don't think it will work.

Quotes

Ujjwal Talukder

Bengal secretary of the ABRSM

“We proudly proclaim our affiliation to the RSS, which is one of the largest organisations working in the social and the national interest. We have nothing to do with politics. But when an organisation like CJP deliberately attempts to create anarchy in the country using the students, teachers and the education system, we cannot simply sit mute. Enough is enough.”

“Earlier, we had merely 500 teachers as the members of our organisation but the figure jumped to 5,000 when we held the membership drive in June this year. There are around 11,000 teachers working in the primary and the high schools in Malda district. Nearly 50 per cent of them are now our members.”
