Indians need to make sacrifices to keep independence 'alive': Mohan Bhagwat

Synopsis RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, addressing a gathering on Independence Day in Bhubaneswar, urged Indians to work diligently and make sacrifices to preserve independence. He emphasized India's duty to guide the world towards peace and prosperity, drawing upon its religion and intellect. Bhagwat envisioned India as a 'Vishwa Guru', resolving global issues and sharing its 'dharma' to create a harmonious world. ANI RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Noting that Indians should not be complacent about independence, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said they need to work hard and make sacrifices to keep it "alive" and also contribute to the world's prosperity and made the statement while addressing a gathering at the RSS office in Bhubaneswar on the occasion of Independence Day. He said an Independent India too has its duty towards the entire world, which is facing innumerable problems and is unable to overcome them since 2,000 years."Our ancestors ensured India's Independence by making supreme sacrifices. We too need to be as hardworking as they and need to make similar sacrifices to keep it alive and to make the country self-confident and emerge as 'Vishwa Guru' (global leader) to guide the world engaged in quarrel," he must work hard as their ancestors did for three generations to get Independence, Bhagwat said, adding: "This should be done on the basis of India's religion and intellect." Indians also need to guide the world, said the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).He said India strives to bring peace and happiness to the world and to share its 'dharma' with others."We got Independence to ensure that everyone in our country could attain happiness, courage, security, peace and respect. However, the world is faltering. It is our duty to provide the world with a solution and create a new world filled with happiness and peace based on our vision, rooted in religious principles," Bhagwat said there are environmental issues and quarrels across the such a situation, it is India's duty to guide others, resolve issues and make the world peaceful and prosperous as a Vishwa Guru," he said. Noting that "Swatantra" (independence) is a combination of two words - "Swa" (self) and "Tantra" (governance), Bhagwat said the country has become independent and people are now running the government.

PM's praise of RSS in I-Day speech troubling, his desperate attempt to appease Sangh: Cong

He accused Modi of appeasing the RSS. Congress questioned the credibility of the election mechanism. They also raised concerns about voter roll revisions in Bihar. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Congress on Friday termed as "most troubling" Prime Minister Narendra Modi's praise for the RSS in his Independence Day speech, saying it is a "breach" of the spirit of constitutional and secular republic and a desperate attempt to appease the Sangh in the run-up to his 75th birthday."The PM was tired today. Soon he will be retired," Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said and slammed the prime minister's speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort as "stale, hypocritical, insipid", claiming he recycled his oft-repeated slogans of 'Viksit Bharat' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' with "little" to show as measurable outcomes."The most troubling element of the PM's speech today was his name-checking of the RSS from the ramparts of the Red Fort - a blatant breach of the spirit of a constitutional, secular republic."It is nothing but a desperate attempt to appease the organisation in the run-up to his 75th birthday next month," AICC general secretary, communications, Ramesh said in a post on Congress leader's reference was to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Bhagwat's remarks that leaders should give a chance to younger leaders on attaining the age of 75 years, which many in the opposition feel are aimed at Prime Minister Modi."Decisively weakened after the events of June 4th, 2024, he is now at their complete mercy and reliant on Mohan Bhagwat's good offices for the extension of his tenure post-September. This politicisation of Independence Day for personal and organisational gain is deeply corrosive to our democratic ethos," Ramesh PM's speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort today was " stale, hypocritical, insipid, and troubling", the Congress general secretary said."The 'Made-in-India' semiconductor chip promise has now been made innumerable times -- each time with fanfare, each time without delivery. It has in fact been made with a huge lie - which is Mr. Modi's trademark - given that India's first Semiconductor Complex was set up in Chandigarh in the early 1980s," Ramesh to the promise of doubling farmer's income, he said, "The rhetoric on protecting farmers has become hollow and unbelievable given his history of attempting to bulldoze the three black farm laws and in the absence of a legal guarantee for MSP, the setting of MSP at 50% over the comprehensive cost of cultivation, or a farm loan waiver".The "lip-service" to job-creation as a target has also become an empty ritual rather than a credible roadmap, he also raised the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar and said Modi is yet to answer any of the questions raised by the Leader of Opposition over the credibility of the election mechanism."The PM waxed eloquent on unity, inclusion, and democracy, at a time when he has presided over and engineered the collapse of our most foundational Constitutional institutions like the Election Commission."He has yet to answer any of the most foundational questions raised by the Leader of Opposition over the credibility of the election mechanism, and is going full throttle with a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar which has disenfranchised lakhs of voters. His claims of empowering states ring hollow when the Centre continues to erode federalism, marginalise elected state government, and throttle or topple Opposition-run governments," Ramesh said Independence Day should be a moment for vision, candour, and inspiration."Instead, today's address was a bland mix of self-congratulation and selective storytelling -- devoid of any honest acknowledgement of the deep economic distress, the unemployment crisis, and the glaring and growing economic inequality in our society."
