Sarsanghachalak’s speech is misrepresented
New Delhi: RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Dr Manmohan Vaidya said the Sarsanghachalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat’s speech in Bihar was misinterepreted by a section of media. Shri Bhagwat had said that if situation arises and the Constitution permits, the Indian Army would take six months to prepare the society, whereas the Sangh swayamsevaks can be trained within three days. “This was no way a comparison between the Indian Army and the Sangh Swayamsevaks, but it was a comparison between the general society and the Swayamsevaks. Both are to be trained by Indian Army only,” Dr Vaidya said in a statement.
