The political fallout of the Tehelka.com expose will be debated at the National General Council meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh beginning in New Delhi on Friday.
The RSS leadership would also brief about 1,200 delegates attending the three-day session about R K Gupta, identified as a defence middleman and RSS 'national trustee' by the web site in its secretly filmed footage, RSS sources said.
The organisation has already denied any links with Gupta saying RSS was neither a trust nor it had any trustee.
Senior BJP leaders, including the party's former president Kushabhau Thakre, Narendra Modi and Govindacharya would be attending the meeting, the first being held in the capital in the 75-year history of RSS.
"We have a friendly government and its survival is certainly a crucial issue," a senior functionary told PTI referring to withdrawal of support to the Vajpayee government by the Trinamul Congress.
Earlier, the meeting was expected to take a tough posture on the "reckless entry of MNCs" but the fast changing political scenario may soften the RSS standpoint, he said.
The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha would also discuss religious conversions, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the RSS-Left clashes in Kerala and West Bengal and cow protection.
