PM Modi Is RSS 'Pracharak' Even Today, Sangh Doesn't Control Its 'Swayamsevaks': Mohan Bhagwat

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat said that the Sangh only provides "consultations and advice" to its 'Swayamsevaks' and never controls them in any way.

New Delhi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that the Sangh works to cast influence on people to work for the nation and to organise Shakha. He said, "RSS' job includes making a habit."

Speaking at an event in Bhopal, he said whenever Sangh's name comes up, people take PM Modi's name. He reminded that PM Modi has been a Sangh Swayamsevak and a pracharak as well, news agency IANS reported.

He further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "is a Swayamsevak and pracharak, and even today he is working as a pracharak." While speaking at an event in Jabalpur on Saturday, he said, "The VHP too is run by our Swayamsevaks. But the Sangh in no way directly or remotely controls them, they work independently."

He also added that RSS only provides "consultations and advice" and never controls them in any way.

Several intellectuals and prominent people were present on the occasion in Jabalpur. Addressing them, he said, "India didn't become one nation on the basis of language, trading interest, political power, and thought. It has become one nation on the basis of unity in diversity and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is one family)." He also stressed that there could not be any big change just because of one person, one organisation, or one political party.

Talking about Hindutva, he said, "Hindutva means the philosophy of embracing all, and that the preamble of Indian Constitution is the prime spirit of Hindutva only."

He further commented that Dharma doesn't mean a religion or worship system, rather it implies performing duties in a disciplined manner. He also stated that there should be multiple attempts at extensive conservation of nature. He said, "We should religiously do tree plantation and water conservation, as to make so much from nature."

According to him, language and worship systems do not form a society, but "people with a common objective build the society." Bhagwat added, "Diversities are
welcome and acceptable, but they should not become the basis of any discrimination in any manner."
