Overview
- Speaking in Bhopal on Friday, the RSS chief said uniforms, route marches and stick exercises are meant to instill discipline, not combat readiness.
- He argued that a "false narrative" has grown from superficial digital sources, cautioning against relying on Wikipedia for understanding the organisation.
- He invited critics to visit a local shakha to observe activities firsthand rather than depend on secondhand accounts.
- He said the Sangh was not born as a reaction to anyone and is not competing with other groups.
- He said it is a mistake to view the RSS through the lens of the BJP or affiliates like Vidya Bharti, stressing the Sangh does not "remote control" its swayamsevaks.
