WhatsApp message claims RSS declaring Hindu rashtra, Panchkula police lodges FIR

The FIR mentions as many as seven detailed pointers regarding contents of the circulated Whatsapp message. According to the FIR, the alleged message states that “the legislature and the executive bodies will be formed on the basis of caste. Government jobs will also be given only on the basis of caste. Women will have no rights. The caste Brahmin and the animal – cow will be declared the purest. India will only be called ‘Hindustan’. This Hindustan will have a saffron flag and its national anthem would be ‘Vande Matram’. This constitution will be implemented from the upcoming Hindu calendar’s New Year dated March 21, 2020. On the basis of caste, first, second, third and fourth class citizens will be described. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Christianity, Parsi as well as Muslims etc, will be categorised as fourth class citizens. Scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, backward castes (yadav, Jatt, Gujjar, Kurmi, Kumar, Nai, Kayasth, Punjabi) etc will also be included in this category. Prime Minister, President and Chief Minister of States will be Brahmins only. Women and Shudras will not get the right to vote.”
