The Story in Brief
The All-India Feminist Alliance (ALIFA) has written to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, demanding action against Hindutva ideologue TG Mohandas. ALIFA cites his derogatory remarks about students and women who protested at Jantar Mantar, including advocating opening fire on protesters and making comments about rape.
In an open letter on August 9, ALIFA accused Mohandas of making violent statements in videos published on his YouTube channel between July 24 and 26. The alliance demands the RSS and BJP publicly condemn his statements and sever all associations. The Kerala police booked Mohandas on July 29 under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, IT Act, and Kerala Police Act. No arrest has been made.
The Indian Opinion
The demand for accountability from TG Mohandas, with his reported ties to the RSS and BJP, is reasonable given his violent rhetoric. However, the focus on party affiliations risks overshadowing the core issue: the normalisation of threats against women protesters. The real test will be whether law enforcement treats this case like any other hate speech, regardless of the accused's political links. Will the silence from party leaders match their stated principles?
