Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief K S Sudershan on Friday chose his Vijayadashami speech to target the Left Front and the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Pointing out that 'Marxputras' (leftists) and 'Macaulayputras' (English-educated elite) were among the prominent opponents of the Sangh, he said, "By chance they are in a position today to do backseat driving in the government and therefore are engaged in conspiring to harm the Hindu forces.

"Because of their negative thinking, the Marxputras can do only destructive work. Never can they do anything constructive. Otherwise, they should have transformed West Bengal, where they enjoyed uninterrupted power for 27 years."

Regarding the BJP, he said, "During the Lok Sabha election, it gave an assurance that if voted to power it would appoint two lakh Urdu teachers.

"Did it ever occur to them that Urdu has been the language promoting vivisection of the country?"

On the economic front, Sudershan expressed concern over the government's plan to raise foreign equity in the telecom sector to 74 per cent. "This only means that in this strategically most important area, Bharat will lose its dominant position and multinationals will have a field day.

"I appeal to the prime minister to see that whenever foreign capital is invested in our country, the right to take the final decision always remains with us and not any foreigner."

The RSS chief, who in his earlier addresses had called for the 'Indianisation' of the Church and asked Muslims and Christians to accept their Indian ancestry, asked the government to change the education policy of madrasas, "as has been done in other Islamic nations".

He also expressed concern over the increasing population of Muslims and Christians and infiltration of Bangladeshis into the country.

He suggested that federal forces be given the right to intervene in naxalite and insurgency-affected areas and advocated people's initiatives to face the problems faced by the country.

New BJP president Lal Kishenchand Advani and the party's youth leader Varun Gandhi were present during the annual address at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur.

The former deputy prime minister saluted the saffron flag in RSS style with his hand raised up to the chest, while Gandhi merely stood when the Sangh anthem was played.
