Show them the door, says RSS chief

New Delhi Oct. 2. The RSS today demanded the immediate removal of those at the helm of affairs who support a western model of development for the country, including free inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI).

Without naming the BJP-led Government, the RSS chief, K.S. Sudarshan, said the economic policies being pursued ``at the behest of the World Trade Organisation and the International Monetary Fund" were ``urban-based, high energy consumptive, labour displacing and ecologically destructive.''

Addressing an intelligentsia meet here, the RSS ``sarsanghchalak'' held the present policies responsible for terrorism as they rendered people jobless.

``Countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Korea which accepted the IMF diktats are today suffering. This is not our way. We should adopt the Gandhian concept of a village-centric economy. Those supporting foreign models of development, howsoever high posts they may be holding, should be removed forthwith,'' Mr. Sudarshan demanded. — PTI
