Terrorism … and that too saffron terrorism?

Friends,

The Home Minister Shri Chidambaramji who represents the Congress government should recall the history of the chair that he now sits which was once occupied by the Iron Man Sardar Patel who added lustre to it. If he recalls this rightly he would not have thought with such a bad intention to coin an imaginary and false term “saffron terrorism.”

This accusation leveled by the Central government is not as if it was said in anger at an election rally. But this was said at a very important and sensitive conference of State police chiefs and Inspector-Generals of Police which he inaugurated. And it was therefore a prepared speech. This mischief cannot be dismissed as an insignificant event. The Central Congress government’s home minister has indeed stepped outside the boundaries of the Constitution when he made such an irresponsible statement. By this statement the security forces and the police have been provoked to act in a certain way against a certain class of people. This is an anti-constitutional behaviour.

The Central government by speaking about saffron terror has gravely insulted its own parent the Congress party itself. The home minister of the nation should be aware that the Congress in 1931 had established the Flag Samiti whose head was Dr Rajendra Prasadji. And the members of this samiti were great men like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Shri Moulana Azad, Shri Master Tara Singh, Dr Ambedkar, Kakasaheb Kalelkar, Kanhaiya Lal Munishi. The members had recommeded that the national flag of India should be of a single colour and should be of saffron. Then how can the Central Congress government spread canards about ‘saffron terror’?

Friends, the present Tri-colour to which we Indians bow has saffron in its unique glory. The Centre must reply to the people of India whether the Tri-colour has turned into a symbol of terrorism due to its saffron colour?

Friends, in our thousand years of slavery our great patriots in each time period had been sacrificing themselves under the shadow of the saffron flag. Does the Central Congress government desire that in protecting this country’s heritage those who had sacrificied themselves like Guruputras, Chattrapati Shivaji, Rana Pratap and lakhs of brave Kshatriyas had sacrificed at the altar of saffron terror? Should we heap infamy on the bravery and sacrifices as recorded in our age-old Indian history?

Friends, from Vedas to Vivekananda the contribution of our sants and mahants has been eternal as all of them wore saffron-coloured clothes. The saffron-attired young sanyasi Vivekananda had enhanced the prestige of India in the comity of nations. Is this sacrifice of tapasvis like Vivekananda could possibly form part of saffron terror tradition for the Congress government?

The politics of votebanks and appeasement has destroyed this country. This canard of ‘saffron terror’ has been spread as part of a devious political votebank and appeasement game.

The country can never tolerate such dirty political games. Such insult to our great ancient culture can never be tolerated.

Youths, rise and awake and demand an answer…..

Yours,

Your Money, Your Right
December 10, 2025

During my speech at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit a few days ago, I shared some startling facts:

Indian banks are holding Rs. 78,000 crore of unclaimed money belonging to our own citizens.

Insurance companies have nearly Rs. 14,000 crore lying unclaimed.

Mutual fund companies have around Rs. 3,000 crore and dividends worth Rs. 9,000 crore are also unclaimed.

These facts have startled a lot of people.

Afterall, these assets represent the hard-earned savings and investments of countless families.

In order to correct this, the आपकी पूंजी, आपका अधिकार - Your Money, Your Right initiative was launched in October 2025.

The aim is to ensure every citizen can reclaim what is rightfully his or hers.

To make the process of tracing and claiming funds simple and transparent, dedicated portals have also been created. They are:

• Reserve Bank of India (RBI) – UDGAM Portal for unclaimed bank deposits & balances: https://udgam.rbi.org.in/unclaimed-deposits/#/login

• Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) – Bima Bharosa Portal for unclaimed insurance policy proceeds: https://bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in/Home/UnclaimedAmount

• Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) – MITRA Portal for unclaimed amounts in mutual funds: https://app.mfcentral.com/links/inactive-folios

• Ministry of Corporate Affairs, IEPFA Portal for Unpaid dividends & unclaimed shares: https://www.iepf.gov.in/content/iepf/global/master/Home/Home.html

I am happy to share that as of December 2025, facilitation camps have been organised in 477 districts across rural and urban India. The emphasis has been to cover remote areas.

Through the coordinated efforts of all stakeholders notably the Government, regulatory bodies, banks and other financial institutions, nearly Rs. 2,000 crore has already been returned to the rightful owners.

But we want to scale up this movement in the coming days. And, for that to happen, I request you for assistance on the following:

Check whether you or your family have unclaimed deposits, insurance proceeds, dividends or investments.

Visit the portals I have mentioned above.

Make use of facilitation camps in your district.

Act now to claim what is yours and convert a forgotten financial asset into a new opportunity. Your money is yours. Let us make sure that it finds its way back to you.

Together, let us build a transparent, financially empowered and inclusive India!
