It's treason: Rahul Gandhi hits out at Bhagwat for true independence remark
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit out at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat saying that his remark that India got "true independence" after the Ram temple consecration amounts to treason and is an insult to every Indian. Speaking at the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters here, Gandhi said every party worker is fighting this battle of ideologies under difficult circumstances where institutions have been captured by the BJP and the RSS and investigative agencies are being used against opposition leaders. The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha also hit out at the Election Commission and alleged that there is a "serious problem" with the country's election system. "Mohan Bhagwat has the audacity to say to the country what he thinks about the independence movement and the Constitution. What he said yesterday is treason... Because he is stating that the Constitution is invalid and the fight against the British was invalid. "He has the audacity to say this publicly. In any

From Somnath to Sambhal, battle for knowing historical truth: Organiser
Days after Mohan Bhagwat frowned at the resurgence of temple-mosque disputes in the country, the latest issue of an RSS-linked magazine has said from Somnath to Sambhal and beyond, it is a battle for knowing historical truth and seeking "civilisational justice". Amid a cacophony over who has insulted B R Ambedkar, even though historical records "clearly indicate" how the Congress treated the chairman of the Constitution's drafting committee, recent developments in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal have struck "a chord with the masses", the editorial published in the latest issue of "Organiser" noted. It said the dispute that started with a petition to survey the Shri Harihar Mandir, "now structured" as the Jama Masjid in the "historic town" of Uttar Pradesh, is opening up a new debate about various constitutional rights given to individuals and communities. "Instead of limiting the debate to the Hindu-Muslim question from the pseudo-secularist prism, we need a sane and inclusive debate on the
RSS chief Bhagwat bats for inclusive society, frowns upon new disputes
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has expressed concern over resurgence of several temple-mosque disputes and said certain individuals, after the construction of Ayodhya Ram temple, seem to believe they can become leaders of Hindus by raking up such issues. Delivering a lecture on India The Vishwaguru', at Sahjeevan Vyakhyanmala (lecture series) here on Thursday, Bhagwat advocated for an inclusive society and said the world needs to be shown that the country can live together in harmony. Highlighting the plurality of Indian society, the chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) said Christmas is celebrated in Ramakrishna Mission, adding only we can do this because we are Hindus. We have been living in harmony for a long time. If we want to provide this harmony to the world, we need to create a model of it. After the construction of the Ram Mandir, some people think they can become leaders of Hindus by raking up similar issues in new places. This is not acceptable, he said. The Ram temple w
India often advised on minorities, we can see others' situations: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said India is often advised to address the issues of its minorities, but now we are seeing the situation minority communities face in other countries. Speaking at the inauguration of 'Hindu Seva Mahotsav' here, he also said that an attempt is being made to establish hegemony by talking about world peace. "Big announcements are being made about world peace. We (India ) are also being advised about world peace, but at the same time, wars are not stopping. While we are often told to worry about the minorities in our country, we are witnessing what kind of situation minorities are facing outside," he said. While the RSS chief made no reference to the violence against the Hindu community in neighbouring Bangladesh, the RSS has, in the recent weeks, expressed concern about the situation of the Hindus in that country after the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina government. "Manav dharma (humanity) is the eternal dhamra of all the
India should show its glorious way of life to world: RSS chief Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has said it is India's prime responsibility to present its glorious way of life to the world so that others can follow and attain happiness and prosperity. Dharma, which is the foundation of everyone's life, must be preserved and awakened as per the changing times, he further said. The essence of Indian ethos lies in ensuring the well-being of all, Bhagwat said at the inauguration of the Moraya Gosavi Sanjivan Samadhi ceremony in Pimpri Chinchwad industrial township near Maharashtra's Pune city on Tuesday. "It is everyone's responsibility to maintain balance and patience to ensure the smooth functioning of the world order. In Indian culture, there has always been a tradition of returning to nature. In today's terms, this can be described as 'giving back'," he said. "The structure of our dharma is built on this principle of 'giving back'. Our ancestors recognised and practised it as nature itself works on this aspect," Bhagwat ..
Keep ego at bay or one may fall into a hole: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has said one should keep ego at bay or else he or she may fall into a hole. Selfless service takes place when one identifies enduring happiness and satisfaction, which also increases the tendency to help others, he said. Speaking at the valedictory silver jubilee function of Bharat Vikas Parishad's Viklang Kendra in Maharashtra's Pune on Monday, Bhagwat also said there is a growing perception that everything in the society is going wrong. "However, for every negative aspect, there are 40 times more good and noble service activities taking place in the community. It is essential to spread awareness about these positive efforts because service is what fosters enduring trust in society," he said. Bhagwat cited the teachings of Ramakrishna Paramahansa about the "ripened I" and the "raw I" to make his point about ego. In every person, there is one 'almighty', which gives inspiration to serve the society, but there is ego as well, he

Clouds of world war looming, science benefits yet to reach poor: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday that in light of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, there is a sense that the threat of a third world war is looming. We all feel the shadow of a third world war emerging, with discussions on whether it might begin in Ukraine or Gaza, Bhagwat said while delivering a lecture organised in the memory of Sangh woman leader of Madhya Pradesh's Mahakoshal area late Dr Urmila Jamdar. Science has progressed a lot but its benefits are still not reaching the poor within the country or across the globe, he rued. But the weapons that destroy the world have reached everywhere, the RSS chief said. Medicine for some diseases might not be available in rural areas but country-made revolver (deshi katta) does, he added. He expressed concerns over the environment, saying it has reached a stage where it is causing diseases. Bhagwat said serving humanity is Sanatan Dharma, which is synonymous with Hinduism. He said Hindu
India helps even those countries that once waged war against it: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said that due to the principles laid down by our ancestors, India helps even those countries that once waged a war against it. He also said that India had the option to retaliate against Pakistan for its misadventure in Kargil in 1999, but the government at that time had instructed the army not to cross the border for attack. Bhagwat was addressing an event here organised by the Jain community, where Jain religious leader Acharya Mahashraman was also present. "Due to our commitment to upholding the principles laid down by our ancestors, India extends its support to the countries that have previously waged a war against us but are currently facing a crisis. We do not initiate attacks, nor do we tolerate any attack on us," he said. "When Pakistan attacked us during the Kargil war, India had the option to retaliate against our neighbour if we had chosen to do so. However, our army received clear instructions not to ...
Bangladesh violence is a learning for Hindus; we should be united: Bhagwat
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said India has become stronger and more respected in the world with enhanced credibility in the last few years but sinister conspiracies are testing the country's resolve. He said a narrative is being spread in Bangladesh that India is a threat and that they should join hands with Pakistan as a defence. Bhagwat said firmness of personal and national character becomes the foundation of strength for the victory of auspiciousness and righteousness, whether the situation is favourable or not. He was addressing the annual Vijayadasahmi rally of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Nagpur. Everyone feels Bharat has become stronger and more respected in the world with enhanced credibility in the last few years. A country becomes great due to the national character of its people. This year is important as RSS steps into its centenary year, he said. Besides hopes and aspirations, challenges and problems also exist in India, he said. We should draw .
Owaisi targets Mohan Bhagwat, says RSS and PM pose danger to harmony
Slamming RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over his comments that the Hindu society must unite for its security by eradicating internal differences, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that it is the Sangh and PM Narendra Modi who pose a danger to Hindus, Muslims and others in the country. Addressing a public meeting at Nizamabad in Telangana Sunday night, he said neither Hindus or Muslims face any danger in the country. "The danger to Muslims, Hindus, Dalits, Adivasis, Sikhs, Christians is from Narendra Modi and Mohan Bhagwat," he said. Asserting that India is a Hindu nation, Bhagwat has said the Hindu society must come together for its security by eliminating differences in language, caste and regional disputes. Addressing a 'Swayamsevak Ekatrikaran' event in Rajasthan's Baran on Saturday evening, Bhagwat said the Hindus consider everyone as their own and embrace everyone. Alleging that Modi has troubled Hindus, Muslims and others during his rule, the AIMIM president said Modi ta
Hindus live in harmony through continuous dialogue, says Mohan Bhagwat
Asserting that India is a Hindu nation, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said the Hindus live in harmony through continuous dialogue as he called for the society to unite for its security by eliminating all differences. "We have lived here since ancient times even though the term Hindu came later. Hindus embrace everyone. They live in harmony through continuous dialogue," said Bhagwat while addressing a 'Swayamsevak Ekatrikaran' event in Rajasthan's Baran on Saturday evening. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief stressed that the Hindu society must unite for its security by eliminating differences in language, caste and regional disputes. "Discipline in conduct, duty towards the state and dedication to goals are essential qualities. A society is not just formed by individuals and their families, but by considering the comprehensive concerns through which one can attain spiritual fulfilment," said Bhagwat. "The functioning of the RSS is not mechanical but idea based. It is an ...
RSS' centenary year aims to make disciplined, strong Hindu society: Bhagwat
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said the primary goal of the organisation's centenary year is to build a disciplined and strong Hindu society. Bhagwat was chairing a meeting with all the regional members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the Dharmada Dharmashala as he kicked off his 4-day visit to Rajasthan's Baran district. The RSS president discussed in detail with all district and regional promoters the plans for expansion and consolidation in view of the centenary year, according to a press release. Bhagwat emphasised that the centenary year should not be celebrated as a festival, but rather focus on realising the dream envisioned by the founder of a united, strong, and disciplined Hindu society, Ramesh Chandra Mehta, the Sangh's Baran division head, said in the release. To achieve this, RSS chief urged expansion of the organisation's work to every village and urban area, down to sub-localities. Bhagwat also pointed out that to accomplish these tasks, the number
Dharma more than just puja, denotes truth, compassion, says Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said some elements who don't want India to grow are creating hindrance in the path of its development, but there was no need to be scared as a similar situation prevailed during the times of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, but it was tackled using the power of "dharma" or religion and righteousness. Speaking at the release of a book titled 'Tanjavarche Marathe', written by author Dr Milind Paradkar, he noted dharma does not mean just puja (rituals), but it is a broader concept that encompasses truth, compassion, 'tapascharya' (dedication). He maintained the word 'Hindu" is an adjective that personifies acceptance of diversities and emphasised India came into existence for a purpose and to push the idea of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The world is one family). Bhagwat pointed out that in the past "external" invasions of India were largely visible so people were alert, but now they are manifesting in different forms. "When Tata

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) three-day long 'Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak' commenced here on Saturday in the presence of organisation chief Mohan Bhagwat and its six joint general secretaries. BJP President J P Nadda, its organising secretary B L Santosh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad chief Alok Kumar and Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh president Hiranmay Pandya were among the national level leaders of 32 'Sangh inspired organisations' who attended the meeting, a RSS release said.

Govt strengthens security of RSS chief on inputs by intelligence agencies
The government has strengthened the security of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in view of latest threat inputs analysed by federal intelligence agencies, official sources said Wednesday. The 73-year-old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief is secured by an armed VIP protection unit of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) under the top Z-plus category. Official sources said as part of this Z-plus protocol, Bhagwat was provided a security cover all across the country. Recently, central intelligence agencies found that a procedure called Advance Security Liaison (ASL) for the RSS Sarsanghchalak was not being done uniformly and hence it was decided to notify it as a regular and mandatory exercise for Bhagwat, the sources said. As part of the ASL, an advance team of the CISF 'special security group' (SSG) will every time carry out reconnaissance of the venues supposed to be visited by the RSS chief along with local police and administration authorities, they said. The CRPF, that also has

India should ensure welfare of Hindus facing violence in B'desh: Bhagwat
Amid targeted attacks on the Hindu minority community in Bangladesh, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said Hindus living there were being subjected to violence for no reason, and added that our country has the responsibility to ensure they do not face any injustice and atrocities. He was speaking after hoisting the national flag at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Mahal area here on the occasion of Independence Day. "The coming generation has the duty to protect the 'swa' of the 'swatantrata' (freedom) because there are always people in the world who want to dominate other countries and we have to be alert and careful, and protect ourselves from them," he said. The situation does not remain the same all the time. Sometimes it is good, while it is not so good at others. These ups and downs will continue, he said. "We can see the situation now. A lot violence is taking place in the neighbouring country and Hindus living there are facing the heat without any ..
