โ€œMinorities Not In Danger Because Of RSSโ€: Mohan Bhagwat

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

Bhagwat said, โ€œScare-mongering is done among minorities that there is a danger to them because of us or Hindus. This has not happened in the past, nor will it happen in future. This is neither the nature of Sangh nor of the Hindusโ€

Nagpur: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said that it is โ€œneither the nature of the Sangh nor Hindusโ€ to endanger the minorities while also adding that the RSS resolves to stand on the side of brotherhood.

Notably, opposition parties including the Congress have accused RSS of trying to divide society and making people fight against each other. Addressing the occasion of the Vijayadashmi festival here, where mountaineer Santosh Yadav was the chief guest, Bhagwat said, โ€œScare-mongering is done among minorities that there is a danger to them because of us or Hindus. This has not happened in the past, nor will it happen in future. This is neither the nature of Sangh nor of the Hindus.โ€

He said that โ€œneither threatens nor gets threatenedโ€ is the kind of Hindu society that is needed.
โ€œSelf-defence and defence of our own become a duty for everyone against those who spread hatred, commit injustice and atrocity, and engage in acts of hooliganism and enmity towards society. โ€˜Neither threatens nor gets threatenedโ€™, this kind of Hindu society that is the need of the present times. This is not anti-anybody. Sangh resolves to stand on the side of brotherhood, amity and peace,โ€ he said.

โ€œThe second type of obstacle that hinders our Sanatana Dharma is created by forces who are inimical to Bharatโ€™s unity and progress. They spread fake narratives, encourage anarchy, engage in criminal acts, foment terror, conflict and social unrest,โ€ Bhagwat added.

The RSS chief said that the Sangh will โ€œkeep emphasizing the word Hinduโ€.

โ€œThe concept of Hindu Rashtra is being discussed all over. Many agree with the concept but are opposed to the word โ€˜Hinduโ€™ and prefer to use other words. We donโ€™t have any issue with that. For the clarity of concept โ€“ we will keep emphasizing the word Hindu for ourselves,โ€ he said.

โ€œTemple, water, and cremation ground should be common for all. We should not fight over petty things. Talks like someone can ride a horse and the other person canโ€™t, should have no place in society and weโ€™ve to work towards it,โ€ Bhagwat added.

Asserting that English is not important for a career, he said that New Education Policy should lead to students becoming good human beings who are also inspired by patriotism.

โ€œItโ€™s a myth that English is important for a career. The New Education Policy should lead to students becoming highly cultured, good human beings who are also inspired by patriotism โ€“ this is everyoneโ€™s desire. Society needs to support this actively,โ€ he said.

The RSS chief said that people should raise their voices against wrongs, โ€œbut by acting within the framework of the lawโ€.

โ€œRaising oneโ€™s voice against wrong should become normalโ€ฆWe all have to stay united as one,โ€ he said.
Calling for a comprehensive policy on population, Bhagwat said that religion-based population imbalance is an important subject not to be ignored.

โ€œPopulation control and religion-based population balance is an important subject that can no longer be ignoredโ€ฆSo a comprehensive population policy should be brought and should be equally applicable to all. Only then rules pertaining to population control will yield results,โ€ he said.

Earlier today, Bhagwat inaugurated the Vijayadashmi festival and also performed the โ€˜weapon worshipโ€™ (shastra puja) on the occasion.
