RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Claims India’s Global Strength Growing Amidst Conspiracies Questioning Its Resolve
Nagpur, 12th October 2024: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stated on Saturday that India has gained strength and respect globally, with increased credibility in recent years, although it faces sinister conspiracies testing its resolve. He mentioned that a narrative is being propagated in Bangladesh, portraying India as a threat and suggesting that they should align with Pakistan for protection.
During his address at the annual Vijayadasahmi rally of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Nagpur, Bhagwat emphasized that both personal and national character are crucial for fostering strength, regardless of circumstances.
“Everyone recognizes that Bharat has grown stronger and is more respected globally due to enhanced credibility over the past few years. A nation’s greatness stems from the character of its people. This year marks an important milestone as the RSS approaches its centenary,” he noted.
While acknowledging the hopes and aspirations present in India, he also pointed out ongoing challenges.
“We should find inspiration from figures like Ahilyabai Holkar, Dayananda Saraswati, and Birsa Munda, who dedicated their lives to the welfare of the country, dharma, culture, and society,” Bhagwat added.
He expressed concern about the potential expansion of the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict.
Bhagwat commended the recent assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir for being conducted peacefully. “Thanks to the people, government, and administration, the country’s image, strength, and stature on the global stage are improving. However, there are sinister conspiracies aimed at destabilizing the nation,” he remarked.
He highlighted a narrative emerging in Bangladesh, which recently experienced significant political turmoil, suggesting that India poses a threat and advocating for an alliance with Pakistan against Bharat. He questioned who was propagating such views.
According to Bhagwat, a tyrannical fundamentalist ideology exists in Bangladesh, threatening minorities, including Hindus, who he claimed are now taking steps to defend themselves.
“Being disorganized and weak invites aggression from the wicked. Hindus must unite,” he asserted.
He described concepts like ‘Deep State,’ ‘wokeism,’ and ‘cultural Marxism’ as declared enemies of cultural traditions.
In a multi-party democracy, he expressed concern that narrow self-interests have taken precedence over national unity, pride, and integrity. He noted that in the competition among political parties, these vital aspects have become secondary.
Bhagwat criticized the growing efforts to create division within society, stating they now overshadow national interests. He described the approach as supporting one party while promoting a destructive agenda under the guise of “alternative politics.”
Regarding the Kolkata rape-murder case, Bhagwat condemned it as disgraceful and noted attempts to shield the criminals. He warned that the connection between crime, politics, and toxic culture is damaging society.
