Varanasi: Rahul Gandhi also met with office bearers of the ‘Sarva Seva Sangh‘ in Varansi during his yatra.
A senior member of the Sarva Seva Sangh said: “Eight of us met Rahul Gandhi today. We briefed him about the history of the Sarva Seva Sangh. He told us that if the Congress is voted to power, the govt would reconstruct the demolished premises. He also said the party will help the organisation fight legal cases in the courts.”
In a post on ‘X’, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “Rajghat is the memorial to the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi in the nation’s capital.It is also the place in Varanasi where the Sarva Sewa Sangh, that has been rendering extraordinary public service to the nation since 1955, has been strangulated by the Modi Govt.”
“The Sarva Sewa Sangh was started by Acharya Vinobha Bhave, and had personalities like Dr Rajendra Prasad, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and Jayaprakash Narayan associated with it. It had been operating on 13 acres of land, close to the Varanasi railway station, for which it had full possession papers. It was evicted from its iconic campuses in August 2023, and the land taken over by the Indian Railways. Only one corner of the campus, occupied by the Gandhi Vidya Sansthan, remains untouched because it has already been institutionally captured by the RSS,” Ramesh said.
