Addressing the public meeting in front of the DC’s office, Shivasundar, the senior human rights activist, criticized the RSS by stating that, although the RSS talks about respecting women, they have insulted women by watching porn clips during assembly session.
Regarding the porn viewing episode, he said that the video clip was viewed not only by the 3 MLAs who were caught on camera, but also by all the BJP MLAs in assembly. He also complained that DVS has broken his promise of protecting the reputation of the state.
Speaking on the occasion, Walter Cyril Pinto said that the RSS is working hard to brainwash children’s minds to produce trained RSS workers filled with communal hatred. He further said that only the RSS can mastermind an event such as hoisting the Pakistani flag in Sindhagi.
