New Delhi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has urged Hindus to shed all differences and unite for their security, PTI reported.
“The Hindu society must unite for its security by eliminating language, caste, and regional differences in disputes,” Bhagwat said at an event in Rajasthan’s Baran.
“We have lived here since ancient times even though the term ‘Hindu’ came later. Hindus embrace everyone. They live in harmony through continuous dialogue,” Bhagwat stated.
Asserting that India is a Hindu nation, Bhagwat described RSS as an “unparalleled” organisation.
“The functioning of the RSS — the ideological mentor of BJP — is not mechanical but idea-based. It is an unparalleled organisation with values that trickle down from the group leaders to volunteers, their families, and to the society at large,” he claimed.
Bhagwat’s ‘Hindus must unite’ comment comes at a time when the BJP has been accusing the Opposition, particularly Congress and Rahul Gandhi, of trying to divide Hindus on caste lines.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath recently cautioned Hindus by saying “batenge toh kitenge” (Hindus, if we get divided, we’ll be cut/killed). Prime Minister Narendra Modi also made a similar remark at Thane, in poll-bound Maharashtra, on Saturday.
