The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has taken a dig at China for "selective abetment" over the issue of blocking India's move for action against Pakistan, for releasing Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi from jail.
The Nagpur based organisation has also expressed concern over growth of Islamic State in the world and stressed on a coordinated approach to tackle it.
An editorial in Organiser, the mouthpiece of RSS read, "Mere high-handed military approach will not address the issue; on the contrary, it would make the group more popular. There is a need for coherent containment strategy to deal with the menace and the selective abetment as China did to Pakistan in the Lakhvi case will not help the cause."
Last month, China had blocked India's push for action against Pakistan at the United Nations Sanctions Committee for freeing the 26/11 mastermind, 166 people were killed in a deadly terror attack in 2008.
Lakhvi was released from a prison in Rawalpindi in April, creating a major point of stress in Indo-Pak relations.
The RSS mouthpiece has suggested that democratic Islamic nations in West Asia who understand the dangers of IS menace should lead the strategy for containing Jihadi forces. The voices of Muslims victims of Jihadi terror need to be strengthened as well.
"Unless we openly accept that political Islam with the ideology of Jihadism has emerged as a challenge to the Western liberalism, we will maintain the piecemeal approach towards the problem," read the editorial.
55 year old Lakhvi, is the top commander of the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and was arrested in December 2008.
