Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday patted the back of the Narendra Modi government and said that the government has the strength to take strong steps to take the country ahead. While addressing the Vijayadashami celebrations in Nagpur, Mohan Bhagwat backed the government for making attempts to bring the economy back on track.
However, he urged the government to take quick and stern action against those who break the law and disrupt peace in the country.
The RSS chief said there was an attempt to foster differences between communities based on language, caste and religion. “India’s respect is growing in the International arena but there are some people who do not like it. Then, they create trouble in India. What does the retaliatory power of society look like? In India’s unity is its retaliatory power.”
Mohan Bhagwat claimed that while several communal incidents are reported on a daily basis, not all were true. The RSS chief said that no one community could be blamed for the incidents and in several cases, there was no communal angle to the crime.
Bhagwat devoted a substantial amount of time from his hour-long speech on mob lynching as he claimed that RSS name was being dragged into the debate.
“No one from Sangh gets into such troubles. If such activities are about to happen then they, in fact, try to stop it,” Bhagwat said. He added that associating Hindu and Sangh with such activities was a conspiracy.
