RSS To Spread ‘Ayodhya Message’ Through Social Media.

Mission Ram Mandir: RSS to train 250 to spread the ‘Ayodhya message’ through Social Media Networks.

RSS to train 250 social media-savvy members on February 20 to spread ‘Ayodhya message’

Vasudha Venugopal |  ET Bureau | New Delhi | 9 Feb, 2016::  Ram Mandir on Twitter —Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is planning an intensive training session on the Ayodhya issue for members and sympathisers on social media. Titled ‘Ram Mandir —A Reality’, the session will happen on February 20. RSS leaders, who wished anonymity, said the session is a result of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent call to up the ante on Ram Mandir. RSS is no stranger to social media training sessions. It has held similar sessions on the intolerance debate and Article 370.

The registration form circulated among swayamsevaks requires them to compulsorily fill up their contact details and information on what social media platforms — Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp — they are most active on.

The sessions, said organisers, will be handled by fellow travellers who have a significant following on Twitter.”The idea is to put out facts…court orders, findings by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and even statements by Muslims who admit that Ayodhya being the birthplace of Ram needs to have the temple. When such information is posted or tweeted, people will get to know what the reality is,” a pracharak, who wished to remain anonymous, told ET.

RSS members organising the event said over 1,000 people have already registered and they expect the number to go up. But only 250 people will be chosen for the Ram Mandir session.”We want people who are really active on social media and who can use facts given to them to persuade Internet audiences.
