Samalakha (HR), March 15 Amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) called for peace in the world on Sunday, emphasizing that the Union government was taking all necessary steps in the supreme interest of the nation.
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale was responding to queries during a media briefing on the three-day meeting of the Sangh's top decision-making body, the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS).
Asked about the Iran-US-Israel conflict, which has entered its third week, the RSS general secretary said, "We want peace in the world."
He said that wars occur for various reasons, and this war should end as soon as possible.
"The lives of ordinary people should be peaceful and happy, and we also desire this," he said at the press conference.
The top RSS leader stated that he would not analyze the reasons behind the war.
He further said that the Indian government is making all efforts that are in the best interest of the country's people.
"Whatever is in the supreme interest of the nation, they (the Indian government) are doing that. What they are doing is right," he told reporters here.
In response to a question about protests that erupted in some places in India following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hosabale said that people can express their emotions about the death of a person, but it should be done peacefully.
"If such things happen, they should be done peacefully. It should not be against any sect or community," he said.
The three-day ABPS meeting, which began in Pattikalyana in Panipat on March 13, was inaugurated by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Hosabale.
