RSS leader to attend seminar

Nagpur July 26. The former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh spokesman, M.G. Vaidya, today said he might attend a two-day seminar on Indo-Pak. relations in Islamabad from August 9 in his personal capacity, although he was awaiting an invitation from the organisers.

Mr. Vaidya, who is also a journalist, told UNI that the Islamabad-based media group South Asian Free Media Association had asked the RSS headquarters here to depute three delegates for the seminar.

The organisation, in turn, had sought the consent of three noted journalists, including him, for the same. "Although I have given my consent, I have not yet received the invitation. As soon as I get it, I will proceed to attend the seminar in my individual capacity and not as an RSS activist. Any invitation initiated by Pakistan for a peaceful move is always welcome," he said.

The seminar, which would provide a platform to discuss peace possibilities between the two countries, would also be attended a parliamentary delegation from India.
