Pioneer News Service/ Lucknow RSS chief KS Sudarshan here on Sunday blamed the country's first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru for all border disputes, but showered praise on Indira Gandhi, calling her "a lady of firm determination".

Addressing RSS workers during the concluding ceremony of Sangh Shiksha Varg, the RSS chief dissected the 45 years of governance by the Congress, but avoided mention of Bharatiya Janata Party rule and its leaders Atal Behari Vajpayee and LK Advani.

He talked about two Indo-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971, but remained silent on the Kargil intrusion.

He skipped Advani's controversial comments on Jinnah, but said he (Jinnah) was the architect of partition. Mr Sudershan said Jawahar lal Nehru, a protégé of the British government, was responsible for the problems the country faces today. "The border problems of Kashmir and North-east are a gift from Nehru," he said.

Nehru was an "Englishman" and the British wanted a man to protect their (British) interests and he (Nehru) did the same.

He, however, praised Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi and another former prime minister Lal Bahadaur Shastri. "Both these prime ministers initiated steps to resolve the border issue ... at least they showed some inclination," he said.

Calling Indira Gandhi "a lady of firm determination", he said, "Indira did what she wanted to do. She imposed emergency, but that is another question."

"She wanted to help people and had the determination which the present UPA government lacks, he said.

Commenting on present-day politics, the RSS chief lambasted parties that project RSS as "Muslim bashers". This tag is stamped on us by political parties that want to get Muslim votes.

Mr Sudershan said the RSS is not anti-Muslim. "Instead, we argue the Muslims should not treat themselves as minority," he said. "Allah ne unko yahan janam diya hai... Unka kartavya hai ki woh sajda karne to Mecca-Madina jayen par jab sar kaatne ki bari aye to Hindustan ke liye kaaten (with Allah's grace, they (Muslims) were born in this country... They should bow their heads at Mecca-Madina, but lay down their lives for India when needed)."

Senior BJP leaders, including state party president Keshari Nath Tripathi, Kalraj Mishra, Rajnath Singh and Om Prakash Singh, were present during Mr Sudarshan's over an hour-long speech.
