Brief: Bhagwat salutes 'Hind ki chadar' Guru Tegh Bahadur
'He became a shield and sacrificed himself to protect the Hindu society from the atrocities of invaders from a foreign religion'
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday began his customary Vijayadashami address with a salutation to the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, calling him ‘Hind ki chadar’.
"We have gathered today on Vijayadashami. Today is the centenary of the initiation of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s activities. Coincidentally, this year also marks the 350th anniversary of Guru Teg Bahadur Maharaj’s martyrdom. He became a shield and sacrificed himself to protect the Hindu society from the atrocities of invaders from a foreign religion," Bhagwat said, before going on to pay tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries.
