"When in the 1980s the historian Sita Ram Goel filled a weekly column in Organiser with mustering evidence for his position that fundamentalist intolerance is the essence of Islam itself rather than a deviation, RSS General Secretary H.V. Seshadri intervened to have the column discontinued and the editor, the arch-moderate K.R. Malkani, sacked. The reason given for the discontinuation was that "otherwise, with such attacks on Islam, the Muslims will not join us"."
