New Delhi: Describing India as a “Hindu rashtra,” RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said that there is a need to organise all Hindus in the country for which this is a “favourable time.”
While asking RSS members to respect diversity, he said, “The idea of Hinduism is the only idea in the world which brings all together.”
Quoting Rabindranath Tagore, the RSS supremo said whenever there are conflicts among Hindus and Muslims, “A middle-path will emerge and that path will be of Hindutva.”
“Hindustan is a Hindu rashtra, which is a fact. We are going ahead with this idea. All Hindus have to be organised to make this nation great. When our country will become great, that will benefit that the entire world... We have the know how for what we want to do. If we continue fighting among ourselves, this Constitution cannot protect us,” Mr Bhagwat said while addressing RSS gatherings in Meerut and Ghaziabad on Sunday.
“No Swayamsevak Sangh in the world had to face such a long and bitter opposition as we faced in our own country. We had to move forward under very difficult circumstances,” he added.
Mr Bhagwat said that there was a time when there was no acceptance for the ideology of the Sangh either in the country or in other parts of the world, but “this is a very favourable time for the Sangh.”
