Taking the Shiv Sena and the MNS head-on, RSS on Sunday said that it has asked its volunteers to protect north Indians in Maharashtra and prevent spread of anti-Hindi feelings.
"The Sangh parivar has asked its volunteers in Maharashtra to try and prevent the spread of anti-north Indian and anti-Hindi feelings," RSS leader Ram Madhav told reporters here.
He said the RSS was opposed to discrimination on the basis of language and demanded steps to check disturbances on the emotive issue.
"There should be no discrimination on the basis of language," Madhav said, when asked about the agitations against Hindi-speaking people by Shiv Sena and Raj Thackeray-led MNS in Maharashtra.
Madhav, here to attend an RSS programme, said the Sangh was of strong view that India was one from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
He said steps should be taken to check disturbances being caused over the language issue and people's rights should be protected.
Meanwhile BJP president Nitin Gadkari has refused to comment on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's "Mumbai for all Indians" remark saying he would have to first speak to him on the issue.
"I will first speak to the RSS chief on what he has said, understand what his views are and then react," Gadkari told reporters when asked for his reaction to the RSS stance in the wake of claim by Shiv Sena, his party's ally in Maharashtra, that Mumbai belonged to Marathi speaking natives.
Asked whether there had been a "clash" between RSS which had spoken about protecting north Indians in Maharashtra and Shiv Sena talking about protecting the interest of Marathi speaking people, he said, "There is no clash between both."
Bhagwat had said, "Mumbai is for all Indians. People of all languages, communities, tribes are children of India... Nobody can prevent Indians from moving to any part of the country in search of employment."
RSS has also issued a directive to its workers to protect north Indians in Maharashtra and prevent spread of anti-Hindi feelings, according to RSS leader Ram Madhav.
