RSS distances itself from Panchjanya article on Infosys

‘There might be certain issues with a portal run by Infosys, but the article published by Panchjanya in this context only reflects individual opinion of the author,’ says Sunil Ambekar, all-India prachaar pramukh of the RSS.

The Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) went on record on Sunday to distance itself from an article that appeared in a magazine associated with the organisation, Panchjanya, that Indian software major, Infosys, was with “anti-national” forces, in the way that it had messed up the government’s Income Tax portal. Sunil Ambekar, the all-India prachaar pramukh of the RSS, took to Twitter to clarify the organisation’s position vis-a-vis the article and its allegations against Infosys, two days after a report in The Hindu that highlighted the story. “As an Indian company, Infosys has made seminal contribution in the progress of the country. There might be certain issues with a portal run by Infosys, but the article published by Panchjanya in this context only reflects individual opinion of the author,” he tweeted adding that “Panchjanya is not a mouthpiece of the RSS and the said article or opinions expressed in it should not be linked with the RSS.”
