RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday called population control as the need of the hour and cautioned the government about maintaining extra vigil on the borders.

In his Vijaydashmi address, Bhagwat said India should be cautious about the Taliban. “The Taliban may have changed, but have Pakistan and China changed?” he asked. “We need to be careful about all our borders,” he said.

Bhagwat said people in Jammu and Kashmir are getting the benefits of doing away with Article 370. “Terrorists want to re-establish fear in the minds of people for their survival, that is why they are doing targeted killings,” he said. “We must give a befitting reply to the terrorists,” he said, speaking on the killings of civilians in J&K.

Bhagwat also called for freeing Hindu temples from the state control.

“We should shun our small egos and embrace everyone,” Bhagwat said in a message to the Hindus. “As Hindus we must all try to remain united and use our power to remain together,” Bhagwat said.

“Everyone should understand that in this land we are all Hindus,” he reiterated.
