An RSS functionary, looking after the Sangh\u2019s overseas affairs, has blamed the media for creating \u201chype\u201d over \u201cstray incidents\u201d of attacks against Indians abroad, and said they should not be generalised.<\/p>\n
Coordinator of RSS Viswa Vibhag, Sadanand Sapre however, flayed the attacks against Indians on foreign soil and said such incidents should be stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cMedia many a times exaggerate the scene. Yes, some instances are there. To create hype… that is the nature of media,\u201d he said on\u2009Monday.<\/p>\n
To a query about recent attacks against Indians in the US, Sapre said, \u201cDon\u2019t generalise the scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n
Referring to incidents of attacks on Indians in Uganda in the 1960s, he said each and every Indian was attacked and thrown out of that country particularly during the rule of Idi Amin.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that happening in the US? Is that happening in Australia? No,\u201d Sapre said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us not put everything in a single bracket. There are many Americans who are there to protect Indians,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Sapre\u2019s comments came in response to a question about attacks on Indians abroad during an interactive session after a programme organised here as part of \u2018Navathi\u2019 celebrations of Bharathiya Vichara Kendram Director P Parameswaran.<\/p>\n
Referring to incidents of attacks against Indians at Melbourne in Australia some years back, Sapre said in some cases Indians were at fault.<\/p>\n
\u201cMelbourne incidents reported by media gives an impression that all Indians are being targeted. So I spoke to local people. They said that is not (the case).. It is not at all that all the Indians are targeted. Media has a habit of creating hype,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are stray incidents and those sort of stray incidents are everywhere… even in India,\u201d Sapre said, referring to incidents of attacks against people from Bihar in Mumbai some years back.<\/p>\n
Sapre further said activists of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh abroad were providing necessary assistance including legal aid for those Hindus targeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome action is to be taken… some kind of legal action… That is happening over there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
