Sewak Sangh plot

2022-09-17
ABOUT thirty ringleaders of the Rashtriya Sewak Sangh organisation in Karachi have been so far rounded up by the Sind Police. In the course of extensive house to house searches made by the police during the last five days, sufficient documentary and material proof is believed to have fallen into the hands of the authorities to prove the existence of a widespread underground organisation of the Sangh for disruptive work. For more than a year, it is learnt, scraps of information were falling into the hands of the Sind Police to show that the religious and social role of some of its members was only a cover [for] its revolutionary activities, which were being conducted under a heavy curtain of secrecy. ... Some murder cases, which on their face looked like ordinary crimes, were upon investigation found to have had a political motive behind them.

[Meanwhile, as reported f rom New Delhi,] `If Pakistan persisted in wrongdoing, there was bound to be a war between India and Pakistan, said Mr Gandhi, addressing about 500 members of the Rashtriya Sewak Sangh at the Bhangi Colony this morning [Sept 16]. Mr Gandhi added, if he had his way he would have no military, and even no police.
