Namo wins. Modi-Amit Shah duo may smile a lot or they knew the obvious !!
"We are ready to retire or work - as long as the Sangh wants us to" - Mohan Bhagwat.
RSS chief wants the Congress era's 'Hum Do Hamare Do' to be discarded.
"Families should have three children," -- he says.
Addressing a press conference to mark 100 years of RSS, the RSS chief left anti-Namo brigade displeased and frustrated.
Several journalists and experts almost their face !! Some of them looked gloomy suddenly !!
Mohan Bhagwat claimed that he never said that he would retire or someone else should retire by 75 years of age.
Both PM Modi and Bhagwat turn 75 this September.
Born on Sept 17, 1950; Modi will have an eventful birthday on Sept 17th and many of his detractors may yet again be upset for obvious reasons.
RSS chief Bhagwat was born on Sept 11, 1950.
Does the list include a Union Minister ? Will he still continue in the 'high-fly-over' ministry ?
Of course, Bhagwat did a small cover up. He said that the volunteers of the Sangh do whatever the Sangh tells them to, irrespective of their age.
"I never said I would retire or someone should retire.
Bhagwat noted that while India’s overall birth rate is declining -- he meant chiefly Hindus and the fallhas been sharper.
“Other communities’ growth has not decreased as much, though their growth is also declining".
"In Sangh, we are given a job, whether we want it or not. If I am 80 years old and Sangh says go and run a 'shakha', I will have to do it. We do whatever the Sangh tells us to do," he said.
Answering questions on demographic change and population control. Bhagwat said experts say communities with a birth rate of less than three slowly go extinct.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's media interaction and address is part of three-day lecture series titled ‘100 Years of the Sangh’s Journey - New Horizons’.
On Trump's tariffs
"We don't tell government how to deal with Trump; they know what to do and we will support it.
Need to learn to live and die for nation, promote entrepreneurship to become self-reliant and developed country."
RSS supports reservation
"In the past, even sangh workers were divided on the issue of reservation.
But sensitivity matters here the most. Caste violence still takes place.
These incidents must stop. We need to stand with justice. Whatever is outdated is bound to go; the caste system was there once, but has no relevance today.
The RSS fully supports Constitutionally-mandated reservation policies and will support it till the time it is required."
On religious conversion and infiltration
"Religion is an individual's own choice. No one should be forcefully converted. We have to stop it. The second issue is infiltration.
Every country has their own rules and regulations, limited resources. So, infiltration should be stopped and the government is making efforts to stop this... It is important to give employment to the citizens of our country."
On languages (being anti-English ?)
“There is no problem in learning English but we must not disown our own culture and language, all languages born in India are national languages;.... we need one common language to interact.
But it should not be foreign.
No point in having any dispute over languages, all should together decide on common transactional language. Everyone should be fluent in mother tongue, language of state and common transactional language; no bar in learning more.”
Does RSS want three-child policy for India?
"This is what doctors have said… Our country’s population recommends a birth rate of 2.1, which is fine as an average, but you can never have 0.1 of a child.
In math, 2.1 becomes 2, but when it comes to births, after two, it has to be three."
Co-ordination with governments !!
"We are having good coordination with every government, both state governments and central governments. But there are systems which have some internal contradictions. The system in general is the same, which was invented by the British so that they can rule.
So, we have to have some innovations. Then, we want something to happen. Even if the man in the chair is 100% for us, he has to do it, and knows what the hurdles are. He may or may not be able to do it. We have to give him that independence. There is no quarrel anywhere..."
Conversion and illegal immigrants
“Conversion and illegal migration are key reasons for demographic imbalance.
We should not give jobs to illegal immigrants; we should give jobs to our own people, including Muslims. Every nation has its rules and regulations.
The world is ‘Kutumb’, but every place has its own standards.
Freedom is discipline also… Not allowing illegal immigrants in the country doesn't contradict the concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.”
Assistance to political parties :
(chiefly BJP ??)
“We provide assistance to those who seek help from us for good work.
When we attempt to provide assistance, those who run away from us often don't receive the help they need, so what can we do?... But sometimes, to run the country or to carry out a party's work, if it is good, our volunteers go and help...We have no hesitation.”
Hindu-Muslim unity
“Why is there a talk of Hindu-Muslim unity when all are same. We all are Indians, why is there even a question of unity? The only difference is the ways to worship…
The Hindu thinking does not say Islam won't be here. Akhand Bharat is fact of life, we should realise our culture and ancestors are same.”
