Overview
- National publicity head Sunil Ambekar said the RSS supports a caste census for welfare planning and opposes any political or divisive use of such data.
- He defended the SECC, the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens as constitutional measures, with legal action for illegal entrants and processes to correct wrongful exclusions.
- He argued that restrictions on prayers conducted on roads should be seen as law-and-order decisions, noting that many Muslim-majority countries designate places for worship.
- He framed the organisation’s caste work as social-harmony outreach to ensure open access to temples, cremation grounds, water sources and other public spaces through local volunteer engagement.
- He reported about 88,000 daily shakhas and a new divisional tier to decentralise outreach, alongside efforts to increase women’s participation through the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, Mahila Sambandh and the Kutumb Prabodhan theme.
