Judge Not

With these words—“There is a smear campaign that the RSS was responsible for Gandhi’s assassination just because the assassin was once an RSS worker”— KT Thomas, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, has set off a controversy in Kerala.

With these words—“There is a smear campaign that the RSS was responsible for Gandhi’s assassination just because the assassin was once an RSS worker”— KT Thomas, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, has set off a controversy in Kerala. He said this at a function organised by the RSS in Kochi and went on to absolve the organisation of any communal bias. He said the popular feeling that the RSS is an anti-minority organisation is a baseless myth. In response, the Congress maintains that a former judge has no business praising the RSS. “It is quite unfortunate that a person of his stature is white-washing a communal organisation,” says KPCC President Ramesh Chennithala.
