Balraj Madhok

Balraj Madhok (25 February 1920 – 2 May 2016) was an Indian politician from Jammu. Originally a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindutva paramilitary organisation, he later worked as a politician in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (often simply known as the Jan Sangh), the political arm of the RSS.

Madhok was instrumental in launching the RSS in the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, and later the political party Jammu Praja Parishad for advocating against the autonomous status of the state. He eventually rose to become the president of the Jan Sangh and led its successful contest in the general election of 1967. He was later expelled from the Jan Sangh for "anti-party" activities following the death of Deendayal Upadhyaya. Provided by Wikipedia
