RSS office bearer, Dattatreya Hosabele, has left for Nepal to
co-ordinate relief activities through the Nepalese wing of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh ( R S S ) , k n ow n a s t h e H i n d u Swayamsewak
Sangh (HSS).“There have been conflicting re ports that RSS has sent off
its people to Nepal for relief work, that is not true. Our volunteers of
HSS have started work, but they are Nepalese.It is a foreign country
and we need to co-ordinate with the government of Nepal for any relief
work through the RSS,“ said Sangh's Prachar Pramukh Manmohan
Vaidya.“Dattaji has gone to Nepal and he will co-ordinate what HSS needs
to do, and whether it is alright with the government of Nepal, for us
to send people from here,“ he added.
He said that RSS shakhas outside of India were nomenclatured as the HSS, and that some volunteers from the Nepal wing had distributed dry food and water to those left stranded by the earthquakes. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been fair ly prompt in rescue and relief works in the past and it forms an important part of its activities as an organsiation. According to BJP VicePresident Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, RSS began its activities in rescue work after the 1979 cyclone in Andhra Pradesh, and Morvi floods in Gujarat after the Macchu Dam burst its walls, also in the same year.
