| Opposition
Weakens Opposition to Sangh had grown almost in proportion to its spread. The Government of Central Provinces promulgated an order banning the participation of the Government servants in Sangh programs. In 1933, it further suggested that the administrations of the local self- government institutions should also pass such orders forbidding their employees from participating in the activities of the R.S.S. Under such trying circumstances, Doctorji went on cogently putting forth the policy of the Sangh before all: "Sangh is away from politics. Our organization is not against anybody. Without animosity to any one, the Sangh is striving to make the Hindu society strong and efficient. In the name of the Almighty, we are engaged in this work." 'Kesari' of Pune and other newspapers from Nagpur wrote strong articles in support of the stand taken by Doctorji. People belonging to various parties and sections of society protested against the vindictive attitude of the Government. Public meetings were also held at several places. Hot discussions took place in the Assembly Council of Nagpur about the said Notification. Even members of Muslim, Parsi and Christian communities took the Government to task on this issue. Finally it was put to vote. A resolution condemning this decision of the Government was passed by a majority Consequently the Government itself collapsed, thereby indicating the collapse of haughty opposition to the Sangh. |
