Those who indulge in lynching are against Hindutva, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said at an event organised by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch on the theme ‘Hindustani First, Hindustan First’ Sunday night.
Asserting that the DNA of all Indians is the same, Bhagwat urged muslims not to get “trapped in the cycle of fear” that Islam is in danger in India. He said that people can’t be differentiated on how they worship.
“We are in a democracy. There can’t be a dominance of Hindus or Muslims. There can only be the dominance of Indians,” he added.
Bhagwat said that neither the Sangh is in politics nor does it bother about maintaining an image. “It keeps on doing its work to strengthen the nation and for the welfare of all in the society,” he said.
He insisted that this not some image makeover or vote bank politics for the RSS to woo Muslims ahead of assembly elections, he said his organisation firmly believes that in a democracy like India, the only dominance can be of Indians, rather than of Hindus or Muslims.
Speaking further, Bhagwat said development is not possible without unity in the country. The basis of unity should be nationalism, and glory of ancestors.
He also recited a shayari at launch book ‘The Meetings of Minds: A Bridging Initiative, written by Dr Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmed’.
