New Delhi (Vishvas News): A letter in the name of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is becoming increasingly viral on social media. The letter allegedly talks about training Hindu youths on behalf of the Sangh to get Muslim girls to convert to Hinduism.
Vishvas News in its investigation found this viral letter to be fake. It has been prepared with the intention of spreading propaganda against the RSS. This viral letter has also been called fake by the Sangh and all the claims made in it have been denied.
Claim:
Sharing the picture of the viral letter on April 8, 2023, Twitter user Shahawaz Anjum wrote in the caption, “Disgusting game of RSS against Muslims.

Investigation:
To know the truth of the viral letter, we searched on Google through several keywords, but we could not find any reliable media report related to the viral letter.
Taking the investigation further, we also started checking the website and official social media accounts of the Sangh, but we could not find any such post related to the viral claim.
We found a tweet related to the claim on the official Twitter account of VSK India. VSK tweets related to Bharat Sangh. VSK Bharat shared the picture of the viral letter on April 10, 2023 and called it fake. The caption reads, “Another unsuccessful attempt by miscreants to defame the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a false letter in the name of Sarsanghchalak ji on the letterhead of the Sangh is going viral through various means of social media.”
We also found a tweet related to the claim on the official Twitter account of RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar. Sharing the picture of the viral letter on March 11, 2023, he wrote in the caption, “This leaflet circulating on social media in the name of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is completely false.”
Taking the search further, we compared the viral letter with the official letters of the Sangh. We found that the logo present in the viral letter is quite different from the original logo. Another point to note is that the tagline of the RSS below the logo is Sanghe Shakti: Kaliyuge, which is not present in the viral letter. Also, the letters issued by the RSS bear the signature of the person who issued the letter, whereas the viral letter does not bear the signature of anyone.
For more information, we contacted senior member of the Sangh, Rajeev Tuli. He told us, “This letter is fake. No such letter has been issued by the union. Such letters are being made viral to tarnish the image of the Sangh. The Sangh is looking to act on it.”
Finally, Vishvas News did a social scanning of the account of the user who shared the viral letter. We found that the user is a supporter of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen. The user is followed by 5,252 people on Twitter. According to the information on the profile, the user has been active on Twitter since January 2020.
Conclusion: Vishvas News in its investigation found that the letter going viral in the name of RSS is fake. It has been edited and prepared with the intention of spreading propaganda. Denying the viral claim, the Sangh has termed the letter as fake.
