1. As usual, RSS Mohan’s speech today was full of lies & half-truths. He called for a population policy & repeated the lie that Muslim & Christian population has increased. Muslim population growth rate has had the sharpest decline among all. There’s no ‘demographic imbalance’1/n
What one has to worry about are the social evils of child marriages & sex-selective abortions. 84% of married kids are Hindus. Between 2001-2011, Muslim female-male ratio leaped from 936 to 951 women for every 1000 Muslim men. But, the Hindu ratio only rose from 931 to 939 2/n
India has already achieved replacement level fertility rates. Without any coercive population policy
2. Similarly, fact-free Mohan is worried about India’s ageing population & the need to have younger population to help the ageing. He should tell his student Modi about it. 3/n

No man has destroyed India’s demographic dividend like he has. Majority of India is young; they lack education, govt support & jobs. What’s the future of a country whose PM cannot promise anything more than a few pakora stalls? 4/n
Population control policy will mean fewer youth of working age. How will they support an ageing population?
3. Mohan called Taliban terrorists. This is DIRECT ATTACK on Modi, whose govt hosted them in our embassy. If they’re terrorists, will govt list them as such under UAPA? 5/n

4. Mohan also said that people in Kashmir were “reaping the benefits of repealing Article 370”. With 29 targeted killings of civilians in this year?
With internet shutdowns & mass detentions? India’s highest unemployment rate of 21.6% is in J&K 6/n

5. Mohan demanded NRC again. NRC is nothing but a weapon to doubt citizens’ Indianness & harass them. A govt that didn’t have a count of oxygen deaths, frontline workers’ deaths, migrant workers’ deaths or farmer suicides thinks it will “verify” citizenship of 1.37 bn Indians 7/n
6. Modi failed in stopping Chinese soldiers from coming into Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal & Uttarakhand. For all that false nationalism, Mohan didn’t utter a word about how our brave-hearts were treated by Chinese. Why so afraid? 8/n
7. Bhagwat mentioned Muslim patriots like Ashfaqullah Khan & Muslims who had fought in the armies of Hindu Kings against so-called Muslim invaders. Ashfaqullah & Ram Prasad Bismil were great friends. Who destroyed such friendships in the name of Fatherland and Holy land? 9/n
The record of Muslim freedom fighters is such that even Mohan is compelled to praise them. The same cannot be said about RSS & its ideologues. They were always epitomes of anti-national activities & cowardice. Savarkar advocated use of rape against Muslim women during war 10/n
8. RSS cannot coexist in a society that wants to progress economically. Society must choose between RSS’s cowardice & Ashfaqullah Khan’s bravery; RSS’s betrayal of India & Gandhi’s patriotism; RSS’s ideology of whining/resentment & Maulana Azad’s intellect & education 11/n
Society must choose between RSS’s love for inequality & Ambedkar’s desire for liberty, equality, fraternity & justice. n/n
