RSS Weekly Labels UPA National Advisory Council a Dimagi Naxal Takeover
· India · Indian Express, Times of India
The RSS-linked weekly Organiser has described the National Advisory Council led by Sonia Gandhi during the UPA era as a Dimagi Naxal takeover of governance. In its latest editorial, the weekly linked recent public protests to a broader campaign targeting Hindutva, blaming a nexus of activists, NGOs, and select intellectuals. The publication argued that the penetration of policy machinery and academia by individuals with a Maoist mentality is part of a revolutionary strategy. Set up in 2004, the NAC previously helped shape major welfare legislation such as the Right to Information Act and MGNREGA before Gandhi resigned as chairperson in 2006.
Why it matters
The editorial reignites political debate over the policy-making influence of civil society bodies during previous Congress-led administrations.
