The Samajwadi Party legislator Abu Asim Azmi created a furore in a session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly on December 10 when he alleged that according to the WikiLeaks disclosure the Hindu militant organisation Rashtriya Sevak Sangh (RSS) was a thousand times more dangerous than the Al-Qaeda. “It has been exposed in the WikiLeaks as to how a thousand times more dangerous is the RSS than the Al Qaeda. Therefore I demand that strong and stern action must be taken against the RSS,” Azmi told the Assembly. This remark by Azmi drew strong protests from the BJP, Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) legislators. Azmi, frustrated by the continued interruption of his speech by the opposition, complained to the Assembly deputy speaker Vasant Purke who told Azmi that though the issue raised by him was irrelevant, but still he was accepting the issue raised by Azmi as part of general interest. But the Sena and BJP legislators continued raising slogans against Azmi, forcing him to walk out of the Assembly in protest against the saffron alliance legislators.
