PM Narendra also highlighted that the external forces were working towards destabalising Bharat as it is treading on the path of progress. He added that the exteranl forces are now rattled after the BJP registered win in the recently concluded Haryana Assembly Elections. It is for the third consecutive time that the BJP formed the government in Haryana.
Mohan Bhagwat’s Address: Call for Unity and Vigilance
In his annual Vijayadashami address, RSS Sarsanghalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat urged the Hindu community to overcome caste differences and extend support to Dalits and other marginalised groups. He warned against the influence of a “Deep State” working to divide the country along caste and community lines, alleging that some political parties are aiding these efforts for their own gain.
Bhagwat emphasized that “being weak is a crime” and that divisions within society only invite trouble. He called for unity, empowerment, and mutual support to protect vulnerable sections of society.
Highlighting external threats, Bhagwat claimed that foreign forces with vested interests are seeking to destabilize India’s progress. He pointed to the influence of “Deep State” conspiracies, cultural Marxism, and woke ideologies infiltrating various institutions, including educational and environmental sectors, as efforts to undermine India’s cultural integrity and control its narrative.
