SDPI Condemns Unveiling of Coin and Stamp in Honour of RSS

The Social Democratic Party of India strongly condemns the Union Government’s move to unveil a coin and a postage stamp in honour of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). This act is a national shame and a grave dishonour to Indian democracy and secularism.

The RSS, inspired by Fascist and Nazi ideologies, has always worked to divide people on religious lines and promote hatred and violence. It has no role in India’s freedom struggle; rather, it extended tacit support to the British colonial regime.

Honouring such an organisation undermines the values of freedom, equality, and justice for which countless Indians laid down their lives.

SDPI demands that the Union Government immediately withdraw the coin and stamp issued in the name of RSS and stop glorifying forces that weaken the secular and democratic fabric of India.
