Mohan Bhagwat addressing the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s annual Vijayadashami celebrations at its headquarters in Nagpur.
Because india is progressing, earlier reporting noted: “India is their main target.
Indirectly targeting a series of protests by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the combined opposition led by Congress in Delhi recently, Bhagwat said protests and public movements should seek solutions within the Constitution and law. “The captain’s willingness to risk his life to protect others reflected his Hindu values passed down through generations,” he said. “What happened in Kolkata (Durga Pandal) that recently claimed lives cannot be linked to any natural calamity,” he said. Families and elders, he said, had an important role in developing discernment among the young, while RSS would seek to bring together organisations and individuals working to address the problem. Earlier reporting noted: RSS chief says evil forces want to dismantle India, but ‘regime change’ will never happen Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said that efforts to “dismantle” India won’t succeed. He also said that agitation does not bring about a change and solutions to problems come from within society. These evil forces know that they cannot disrupt India the way it has moved ahead with decisive policies in the last few decades… they are trying dismantling India and the Sangh,” he said at the Vijayadashami Utsav in Nagpur. Earlier reporting noted: The RSS chief said that Indians need to be cautious that there are forces that want the country derailed from its path of becoming developed. “It is evident… there are many powers in the world that want India to lose,” he said.
He cautioned political leaders and protesters against allowing bitterness, discord or the pursuit of popularity to deepen divisions. The RSS chief cited Flydubai pilot Captain Smit Machchhar’s rescue attempt during an alleged mid-air attack as an example of values expressed through conduct. Bhagwat also linked development choices to the recent tragedy in Nepal, which claimed thousands of lives. He attributed it to one-sided development across the Himalayan region, which stretches across several countries, including Bharat, Bhutan, Tibet and China. He called for a holistic approach that weighs environmental limits alongside economic growth. Describing drug addiction among young people as a serious national concern, Bhagwat called for coordinated action by govt, administration and society.
Taking an indirect dig at the opposition, including Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan and others, he emphasised regime change won’t happen in India.
Even the so-called developed nations across the world are affected by this storm,” he said. Applauding the govt led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi without naming him, Bhagwat said Bharat has gradually carved out a place for itself in the world through its own strength and sound policies. Recalling the opposition to Lord Curzon’s proposal to partition Bengal along communal lines, he said the British govt had been compelled to withdraw the plan.
“A storm has swept in from the West, driven by a demonic resolve to destroy and devastate all that is decent, auspicious, and rooted in cultural and human values, both in Bharat and across the world. The RSS chief also invoked Vande Mataram as a symbol of unity during the anti-Partition movement in Bengal.
