The Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Dr. Mohan Rao Bhagwat, stated that to understand the Sangh, one must view it from within, adding that misunderstandings are natural when viewed from the outside. He said that the Sangh works for Bharat and does not need power or popularity, nor does it aspire for authority or fame.
Dr. Bhagwat, who was on a two-day visit to the state, addressed ‘Seva Mukt Sena Adhikari Goshthi’ at Pathankot yesterday. He interacted with retired military officers of all ranks. He said that the Indian Army is a great example of unity in diversity, and that the same spirit should be strengthened in society as well. Dr. Bhagwat also said that those individuals and institutions engaged in works of national interest should be supported by all of us.
Dr. Bhagwat also said that merely protecting borders is not enough. Social cohesion, economic strength, and cultural self-confidence are also equally important. He also spoke on social harmony, civic duty, environmental protection, family values, and indigenous and national security.
A special exhibition on the history of "Vande Mataram," its protocol related to singing, was also put up. An inspiring display of Param Vir Chakra awardees of the three services was also part of the exhibition.
