Form of words:
New Delhi: A day after RSS’s head of media and publicity Sunil Ambekar distanced himself from the organization Panchjanya In a cover story on Infosys, its joint secretary Manmohan Vaidya said on Monday that the magazine was “at the forefront of the fight”Religious war”.
“In Dharma YudhiThere are two sides – you can have good people on the wrong side and you have to shoot your arrows at them too,” he said. “Panchjanya herald the Dharma Yudhi. This war will go on for a long time as a nationalist outlook is taking hold.”
Vaidya was speaking after inaugurating the new office Panchjanya In Mayur Vihar, New Delhi. The magazine has been associated with the RSS for a long time and Monday’s program was attended by former BJP general secretary Ram Madhav, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and other RSS functionaries.
Vaidya’s comment is important because only on Sunday the RSS head of publicity Sunil Ambekar took off the dress from the magazine, after September 5 cover story Questioned the functioning of software giant Infosys and suggested that an “anti-national” conspiracy could be behind the glitches in the government’s income tax portal.
“As an Indian company, Infosys has contributed significantly to the progress of the country. There might be some issues with the portal operated by Infosys, but the article is published by Panchjanya Reflects only the personal opinion of the author in this context,” Ambekar had tweeted.
He had also claimed that the RSS had nothing to do with it. Panchjanya.
“Panchjanya is not the mouthpiece of RSS and the said article or the views expressed therein should not be associated with RSS. @editorvskbharat,” he had added.

Panchjanya’s ruckus in Infosys
NS PanchjanyaThe September 5 edition had a four-page cover story on Infosys, with a picture of the tech giant’s founder Narayan Murthy on the cover.
Slamming Infosys over the glitches in the GST and income tax portals developed by it, the cover story wondered whether any “anti-national force is trying to hurt India’s economic interests through this”.
“Due to glitches in both the GST and income tax return portals developed by Infosys, taxpayers’ confidence in the country’s economy has been affected,” the article said. Is any anti-national force trying to harm India’s economic interests through Infosys?
Although the article mentions that the magazine has no concrete evidence to say this, it says that Infosys has been accused several times of helping “Naxals, Leftists and Maoists”. Fragments the gang”.
It also asked whether Infosys would “provide similar substandard service to its overseas customers”.
Despite the condemnation of Ambedkar, Panchjanya Associated with RSS. RSS started Rashtra Dharma Prakashan in 1947, whose publication started Panchjanya As editor of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1948.
In 1977, the RSS transferred the publishing rights to the Bharat Publishing Firm, which now publishes Panchjanya And this OrganizerWhich is also considered as the mouthpiece of RSS.
