New Delhi, Aug. 22 :    New Delhi, Aug. 22:  Four days after he made his peace with RSS sarsanghachalak K.S. Sudarshan, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee swore his allegiance to the Sangh's saffron flag (bhagwa dhwaj) by offering the ritualistic 'Guru Dakshina' in a function held this morning at textile minister Kashiram Rana's residence. The unpublicised event was attended by all BJP ministers belonging to the Sangh fraternity as well as neo-converts like urban development minister Jagmohan and MPs present in the capital. The event has been an annual occurrence since 1925 between Raksha Bandhan and Guru Purnima. It entails a voluntary cash offering which is deposited in a sealed box placed before the RSS flag. The offering is treated as a swayamsevak's annual contribution to his parent organisation. While the ritual is normally devoid of speeches, this time RSS spokesman M.G. Vaidya gave a mouthful to the BJP on how to deal with Pakistan. Sources quoted Vaidya as emphasising that victory against 'evil' was important and quoted two examples to buttress the point: Shivaji vanquished Afzal while Prithviraj Chauhan was cowardly and allowed himself to be vanquished. He said that though Indira Gandhi had emerged as a victor after Bangladesh's creation in 1971, she lost the initiative in the Simla summit to Pakistan as she agreed to release 90,000 Pakistan prisoners of war. Vaidya was quoted as saying: 'Indira Gandhi's mentality was shaped in such a way she believed that the hosts must be conciliatory towards the guests. So she gave in.' His advice to the BJP ministers and MPs was: 'Our tolerance must not be seen as a sign of weakness, we must be assertive.' For the past two years the event used to be held at the residence of human resources development minister Murli Manohar Joshi. But this year the venue was shifted as Joshi was out of Delhi. The guru dakshina has not been the only meeting point between the BJP top brass and the Sangh in the past few days. After the much publicised meeting between Vajpayee and Sudarshan in a book release function at the Prime Minister's official residence on Saturday, home minister L.K. Advani picked up the baton and called on the RSS chief at the Jhandewalan headquarters last evening. Advani was away in Lucknow during the book release. According to Sangh sources, in the 45-minute meeting, Advani briefed Sudarshan on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir as well as parts of the Northeast. He also spoke of the 'pro-active' measures the Centre had initiated to tackle militancy and cross-border terrorism in states where the ISI was suspected to have entrenched itself. Only 10 days ago, Advani had dropped in at the RSS headquarters during a memorial service in honour of four swayamsevaks who were slain by Tripura insurgents. The visit, which came in the wake of a spate of killings in the Jammu region, reportedly saw the home minister facing an 'angry and anguished' lot of swayamsevaks who sought to know from Advani why the government had failed to get on top of the situation.
