Key Takeaways
New Delhi, Oct 13 (NationPress) The Congress party has made a compelling demand for a thorough, impartial, and timely investigation into the heartbreaking demise of 26-year-old software engineer Anandu Aji, whose lifeless body was found in Kerala on October 7.
Prior to his alleged suicide, Anandu made a scheduled Instagram post where he accused several individuals affiliated with the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), including a person referred to as “NM,” of subjecting him to sexual and physical abuse during his childhood, starting at the age of four.
“Despite Anandu’s clear references to the RSS in his final declaration, the First Information Report (FIR) filed in this case allegedly fails to mention the organization,” the Congress party stated.
The Congress party has raised concerns about this omission, questioning the administration’s reluctance to acknowledge an unregistered entity when faced with serious allegations of abuse and complicity in suicide.
In its statement, the Congress warned that millions of children participate in RSS camps, and Anandu's story casts severe doubts about their safety.
The party characterized his account as a disturbing indication of exploitation disguised as cultural nationalism, where vulnerable children are purportedly coerced and silenced under ideological duress.
Congress leaders further criticized the RSS for its enduring connection to political power, pointing out that despite its influence, it remains unregistered and unaccountable.
They highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has openly identified as a proud RSS pracharak, recently inaugurated a commemorative stamp and coin celebrating the organization’s centenary.
“However, neither the Prime Minister nor senior BJP leaders such as Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, or Nitin Gadkari have addressed Anandu’s death or called for an investigation,” the Congress party stated.
The Congress also denounced RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his silence, asserting that the organization often espouses values and nationalism while now facing accusations of fostering a “rotten cycle of abuse and exploitation.”
Labeling Anandu’s suicide as a caution against unchecked power, the Congress urged authorities to unveil what it termed the concealed realities behind the BJP-RSS ecosystem.
The party underscored the critical necessity for transparency, accountability, and justice in light of such alarming allegations.
