Seeking to shed its 'anti-Muslim' tag, an RSS affiliate is hosting a grand 'Iftar' on July 2 where it has invited ambassadors of many countries including Muslim nations like Pakistan to spread the message of unity and harmony.
Organised by Muslim Rashtriya Manch, an affiliate of RSS, the iftar party would be a much bigger affair this time. It has also asked its members to hold small iftar parties across the country.
"The aim is to tell the world about Indian-ness, helping people from all communities live in peace and harmony...India is a ray of hope and peace for the Muslim world," RSS leader and patron of the Manch Indresh Kumar said.
"Rashtriya Muslim Manch has urged members to host small iftar parties by inviting people from all communities and spreading the message of brotherhood ," he also said.
"Charity begins at home...all should live in harmony and help make the country free of riots and the world including India free from violence including terrorism," he said in his peace appeal.
The Manch had organised a similar iftar party for some diplomats in Delhi, but this time it is being organised on a bigger scale.
He said that invites to diplomats of 35 to 40 Muslim nations and some others have been sent.
The MRM was formed in 2002 as a platform for Muslims at the initiative of RSS with the aim of bringing the two communities together.
