Overview
- Speaking in Mumbai, Mohan Bhagwat asked citizens to detect and report suspected illegal foreigners, saying their language can reveal them, and advised denying such individuals employment.
- Bhagwat praised the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, said detection and deportation had begun and would gather pace, and linked the process to excluding non-citizens.
- He reiterated that the RSS does not seek power, is not a paramilitary force, and operates separately from the BJP, adding that parties aligned with Sangh views have benefited from its work.
- On leadership, Bhagwat said he will continue as RSS chief at the organisation’s request despite turning 75 and noted that succession is merit-based with no caste bar, while backing reservations for as long as needed.
- He warned about the situation of Hindus in Bangladesh and said global Hindu support would follow if they choose to resist locally, as the two-day centenary series drew prominent film personalities and industrialists.
