Senior RSS leader Suresh 'Bhaiyyaji' Joshi Wednesday urged youths to visit India's frontiers to see how the people living at borders are helping in safeguarding it often at the cost of their lives.
It will help youths inculcate a deeper sense of patriotism, he said, while also urging authorities to facilitate them in visiting the country's borders.
Joshi made the remarks here, where he has arrived on a two-days' visit to take stock of the political situation in the state and various organisation issues of the saffron outfit, which he did in a slew of meetings with the RSS cadres and the BJP leadership.
Maintaining that the border people are a source of inspiration for the people at large in the country, the RSS leader also urged authorities to increase the border assistance programmes for welfare of the border population.
Praising the "valour" and "sacrifices" of the border population, he said the people living at borders are playing the same role as the security forces in safeguarding the country.
Joshi also stressed that the border people be encouraged to start developmental programmes in their villages.
