You are dead wrong. Sangh

You are dead wrong. Sangh Parivar provides quick relief and honest help to the victims. In fact, I will and all Hindus should contribute to only Sangh Parivar related charities, never donate to government or Western charities. We all know government eats more than 85% of donations and only 15% reaches the victims. And Western charities use the money for conversions, not for help.
