RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat spoke on Anti-CAA protests in Dussehra address

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday listed several “noteworthy incidents” that took place in the last one year.

“In 2019, Article 370 became ineffective, then the Supreme Court gave Ayodhya verdict on November 9. The entire nation accepted the verdict. On August 5, 2020, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Ram temple was held. We witnessed the patience and sensibility of Indians during these events,” Bhagwat said during his annual Dussehra address at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, as reported by news agency ANI.

Bhagwat said that the country many developments, but Covid-19 dominated everything.

Due to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic, only 50 volunteers were allowed inside the Maharshi Vyas auditorium, Nagpur.

“We witnessed anti-CAA protests which created tension in the country. Before it could be discussed further, the focus shifted to Corona this year. Corona overshadowed all other topics,” the RSS chief added.

He said that using CAA, opportunists unleashed organized violence in the name of protests.

“CAA does not oppose any particular religious community. But those who wanted to oppose this new law misled our Muslim brothers by propagating a false notion that it was aimed at restricting the Muslim population. Using CAA, opportunists unleashed organized violence in the name of protests,” the RSS chief added.

“Before it could be discussed further, the focus shifted on coronavirus this year. So, communal flare in minds of a few people stayed in their minds only. In the background, the efforts by rioters and opportunists to reignite the conflict still continue,” ANI quoted him as saying.

Bhagwat also conducted Shastra Puja, the Hindu culture in which arms are celebrated annually during Dussehra.

RSS regards Vijay Dashmi as one of its most significant events when the Sangh chief addresses the workers on a number of issues concerning politics, society, and national security.
