Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat warned that forces which were behind the present chaos in Bangladesh are designing to create instability in India too. Speaking at Vijaya Dashami event at RSS headquarters in Nagpur on Saturday, he referred to the new narrative against India being spread out by the new regime in Bangladesh.
He said that “In Bangladesh, such discussions are going on that we have a threat from India, and hence we have to side with Pakistan since they have nuclear weapons, and we can stop India”. Indicating involvement of foreign forces behind such a narrative, he made it clear that we all know which countries are pushing such discussions and narratives.
`We don’t need to name them. Their wish is to create such conditions in India as well. Such industries are being run to stop India”. Deep state, wokeism, and cultural Marxism are a few words that are in discussion. I discussed it last year as well. A few people said that these things are not here, but they have been for long,” the RSS chief added.
“It is on expected lines that certain powers whose vested interests are affected by our country’s rise in the world that they would let Bharat grow only within certain limits. This commitment of the countries that claim to be liberal, democratic and committed to world peace vanishes as soon as the question of their security and self-interest arises”, he said.
“Then they do not hesitate to attack other countries or overthrow their democratically elected governments through illegal and/or violent means. All these things can be understood by observing the sequence of events happening, both inside Bharat and around the world. The deliberate attempt to tarnish Bharat’s image based on lies or half-truths is clearly visible”, he added.
Dr Bhagwat hailed that for the first time in Bangladesh Hindus united and took to the streets for their protection, strongly protesting against atrocities against them. He also expressed concern over ongoing atrocities faced by the Hindu community there. “What happened in our neighboring Bangladesh? It might have some immediate reasons, but those concerned will discuss it. However, in the chaos, the tradition of committing atrocities against Hindus was repeated”, he added.
But as long as this radical nature of committing atrocities out of anger exists, he warned that not only Hindus but all minorities will be in danger. He asserted that they need help from Hindus around the world. “It is crucial that the government of India helps them… Being weak is a crime. If we are weak, we are inviting atrocity. Wherever we are, we need to be united and empowered,” he said.
Significantly, the RSS chief, who has raised concern over the ongoing situation in Bangladesh, also highlighted the illegal infiltration issue India is facing from there. He remarked that as long as this tyrannical fundamentalism (those committing atrocities) exists in the country, the threat will continue to prevail against the minority communities, including Hindus.
“That is why the illegal infiltration from that country into India and the population imbalance caused by it have become a matter of serious concern among the common people in the country. Due to this illegal infiltration, the mutual harmony in the country and the security of the country are also questioned,” he added.
