SPEAKER TIPS FOR SANGH 

New Delhi, Dec. 4 :    New Delhi, Dec. 4:  In a bid to give itself a minority-friendly image, the RSS today took its public relations exercise to the doors of Lok Sabha Speaker G.M.C. Balayogi. But the Speaker exhorted the Sangh leaders to allay misgivings among the minorities about the RSS and convince them that it was not anti-minorities. RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan was to call on President K.R. Narayanan, Vice-President Krishan Kant and Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee among others to market the Sangh philosophy. But the scheduled meeting on Friday with Narayanan did not take place as the President, a staunch RSS critic, cancelled all his engagements following an attack of viral fever. The RSS leaders had met the Prime Minister last month. Balayogi, a Dalit from Andhra Pradesh's Amalapuram Lok Sabha constituency and a member of the Telugu Desam, told the Sangh leaders that some sections, especially the minorities, feared that the RSS was against them and that it was 'your responsibility to remove their fears'. The Sangh leaders explained to Balayogi that they did not discriminate between minority and majority communities and that they would do their best to convince the minorities that they meant no harm to non-Hindus. Sources close to the Speaker said the RSS leaders told Balayogi that misgivings about the Sangh in various sections of society was 'misplaced' as they were a socio-cultural organisation.
