New Delhi: “Generally people remain committed to their values in the conditions of neglect or opposition, but it is difficult to do so in favourable condition. Sohan Singhji was exception to this. He remained the same in all conditions, as his life was dedicated to the Sangh,” said RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat. He was speaking at one of its kind programme organised by the RSS Delhi Prant to release the book Mahavrati: Karmayogi Pracharak Sohan Singh dedicated to the life and contribution of senior RSS Pracharak who took his last breath a year ago.
As Sohan Singhji would not have liked a public function in his name, so perhaps RSS Delhi Prant thought of releasing the book in a Shakha, said the Sarsanghachalak.
RSS Kshetra Sanghachalak Dr Bajranglal Gupt, Delhi Sah Prant Sanghachalak Shri Alok Kumar, editor of the book Shri Gopal Sharma and publisher Shri Prabhat Kumar were present on the stage. Besides the forward by Sarsanghachalak himself, a brief biography of the late Sohan Singhji, many senior RSS authorities, swayamsevaks and ministers from the Central government contributed in the book published by Prabhat Prakashan, New Delhi.
