Join RSS, chief Bhagwat urges ex-servicemen

Dharamsala, December 18

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed a gathering of over 600 ex-servicemen at the Government College auditorium here today.

He urged the ex-servicemen to join the RSS, the aim of which is to build national character among the citizens of the country. “Just like the Indian Army, the RSS teaches the participants in its shakhas (morning meetings) discipline, exercise and cooperative working,” he said.

Bhagwat urged the ex-servicemen to once visit the RSS meetings and houses of Sangh workers to understand how the organisation functions. “There are many misconceptions about the RSS that can only be dispelled if a person attends its meetings or training programmes,” he said. He said when the RSS was founded in 1925, nobody thought that Hindus could unite. “The RSS is not directly involved in politics, but many people, who undergo training with the Sangh, join various political parties,” he added. — TNS
