RSS-affiliated magazines to be kept in Chhattisgarh jails to 'reform' inmates
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|February 03, 2025
The Jail department in the BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh has decided to add the Panchjanya (in Hindi) and the Organiser (in English), so-called mouthpieces of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to the libraries for inmates.
The prison libraries in the state were stated to have collections of books and publications on diverse subjects.
During a recent inspection, state Director General (Jail) Himanshu Gupta found that libraries in jails do not have the weekly Panchjanya and Organiser.
He instructed officials to make the magazines available in all 33 state prisons.
Chhattisgarh has five central, 20 district jails and eight sub jails.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI TROUNCES TRUMPISM
Democratic sweeps in other key races, exposes the fragility of Trump's grip. It's a national referendum on the man's corrosive legacy. Voters in the nation's largest city, a microcosm of America's diversity, rejected Trump's exclusionary toolkit with visceral force. Mamdani turned the race into a personal battleground of identities, where heritage became both shield and sword. However, this very emphasis on leftist ideals could exacerbate national divisions. Mamdani's policies threaten to weaken the fight against illegal immigration and balloon expenditures on social measures, potentially straining the city's and the country's resources at a time when prudence is paramount.
