RSS chief urges ’serious efforts’ to unite Hindus
January 9th, 2010 - 10:22 pm ICT by IANSLucknow, Jan 9 (IANS) Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat Saturday called upon its workers “to make serious efforts for uniting different Hindu castes” to help establish a “discrimination-free society”.
Addressing a gathering of RSS and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) workers here, Bhagwat urged them to work towards integration of different Hindu castes and aim to establish co-ordination amongst the different castes, which in turn would strengthen the community, a RSS leader told IANS.
The RSS chief advocated adherence to the philosophy of Hindutva rather than castes as the “answer to a number of problems pertaining to social unrest lies in Hindutva”.
Bhagwat, who arrived here Friday on a three-day visit, instructed RSS workers to hold meetings at the block and district levels for bridging the gap between different Hindu castes.
The RSS leader said he had asked them to organise meetings of various Hindu caste leaders at different levels across the state to overcome the caste barrier, which he termed a “big hurdle” to uniting Hindus.
While the RSS has not mentioned any specific objective behind Bhagwat’s visit, sources said he would focus on promoting and finding “new generation leadership” in the RSS and the state unit of the BJP.
