Need to reach out to every home, unite Hindus: RSS chief Bhagwat
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday exhorted its members to reach out to every family and work to unite all Hindus, asserting that the goal is to build a society that is free of inequalities like casteism and is aware of its responsibility towards the nation.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief, who arrived here on Saturday on a two-day visit, made the remarks while speaking to volunteers at the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya School in Nawabganj.
"We should have contact with every family in the 'shakha' area.
"Work has to be done to unite all Hindus. There should be 'sanskar' (values) in every household and harmony in families so that the Sanatan tradition can be re-established in every home," he said.
On Sunday, Bhagwat held four meetings with Sangh officials where the functioning of 'shakhas' and service work conducted among students were discussed along with other issues.
Bhagwat said that the RSS "works for personality development.
Personal development means realising one's responsibility towards the family as well as society, nation and the entire human race, i.e. the world".
"We say that the world is a family. As the Sangh grew, it expanded its scope and expanded its work in various areas of social life through its workers," he said.
"Today we are in the centenary year of the Sangh. On the basis of Panch Parivartan, an effort is being made to move towards a big change in the entire society -- a society that is aware of its responsibility towards the nation, a society that builds its lifestyle in accordance with the environment; "A society that is free from the inequality of casteism, where the entire society has equal rights on temples, water reservoirs, crematoriums," he said.
Swayamsevaks are being trained in Kanpur from May 21, and the camp will conclude on June 10, RSS office bearers in Kanpur said.
Dattatreya Hosabale, the general secretary of the RSS, has been in Kanpur for the past two days and is providing training to volunteers on building a "society that transcends caste barriers", they said.

Uttarakhand CM Dhami participate in 300th birth anniversary program of Ahilyabai Holkar
Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], June 8 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami participated in the Tricentenary Birth Anniversary program of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, organised by Dhangar Samaj in Haridwar. On this occasion, the Chief Minister announced that the Gram Sabha of Salempur will be named after Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, on the proposal and with no objection. CM Dhami, while paying homage to Lokmata Punyashlok Ahilyabai Holkar, said that the Pal-Dhangar society has been the main basis of India's livestock-based economy since ancient times. 'Not only did she contribute significantly economically to the progress and development of the country, but she has also played an important role in preserving and advancing our rich cultural heritage. Even today, this society is making an important contribution in the creation of a self-reliant India on the strength of its hard work, dedication and self-respect,' he said. The Chief Minister said that Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar is such a pious soul of Indian history who presented the best example of women's power. Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar's entire life was dedicated to the re-establishment of Sanatan life values and Indian culture. 'She rebuilt temples and ghats in Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath, Dwarka, Rameshwaram, Ayodhya and Mathura as well as Badrinath, Kedarnath and Haridwar of our Devbhoomi. Rani Ahilyabai Holkar also presented such a unique example of women empowerment in that period, which was difficult to even imagine at that time,' CM Dhami said. Chief Minister said, 'For hundreds of years, foreign invaders and then even after independence, governments suffering from the mentality of slavery did not give the contribution of our great personalities the respect they really deserved. A well-planned conspiracy was hatched to deprive our young generation of their glorious history.' The Chief Minister said that today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has entered the Amritkaal of the renaissance of its cultural consciousness. 'Our glorious history, the contribution of great national heroes and cultural heritage, which were neglected for years, are not only being restored today, but are also being made the basis of national consciousness. Today, the flag of our Sanatan culture is flying proudly all over the world and India is rapidly moving towards becoming a world leader again by connecting with its roots. Today, whether it is the construction of a grand Ram temple, reconstruction of Badrinath and Kedarnath shrines, expansion of Baba Vishwanath's corridor or the construction of Mahakal Lok,' he said. The Chief Minister said that unprecedented work is also being done in the direction of women's empowerment under the Prime Minister's leadership. 'Whether it is approving 33 percent reservation for women in Parliament and Legislative Assemblies, giving priority to the education and safety of daughters through the Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign, freeing women from the smoke of the stove through the Ujjwala Yojana, making women self-reliant through the Lakhpati Didi Yojana or ending the evil practice of triple talaq. Through many such decisions, PM Modi has worked to ensure the respect of the mother power,' CM Dhami said. The Chief Minister said that the state government is also fully committed to preserving the cultural values and demography of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. 'We have taken strict action against hateful mindsets like land jihad, love jihad and spit jihad in the state. Strict anti-riot and anti-conversion laws have also been implemented in the state. We are working with determination with the policy of 'zero tolerance' to end corruption in the state,' he said. Chief Minister Dhami said that earlier, there was a perception that action was taken only against small employees found involved in corruption, but today, in the state, not only small fish but also corrupt crocodiles are being caught. 'Recently, two IAS and one PCS officers have been suspended in the Haridwar land scam,' he added. (ANI)

Will bring Sandeshkhali perpetrators to justice after BJP comes to power in W.B., says Suvendu
Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will bring the perpetrators involved in the violence and sexual assault at Sandeshkhali, including former Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan, to justice within days of the party coming to power. The Assembly election is due in the State in 2026. Addressing a public gathering at Sandeshkhali, Mr. Adhikari said that the regime of Mr. Shahjahan had ended and that the perpetrators will be brought to justice soon after the BJP came to power. The BJP leader promised the gathering that he will ensure that 'Sheikh Shahjahan is hanged' after the party assumes power. Also Read | 2024: A year of protests and electoral status quo in West Bengal Mr. Shahjahan, once an influential Trinamool leader from Sandeshkhali block in North 24 Parganas district, faced allegations of land grab and sexual assault by several women of the region, and was arrested by the West Bengal Police in February 2024. He had remained behind bars since then. The women of the region had rallied against the alleged excesses of the local Trinamool leaders and the issue had become a major poll plank for the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. While the BJP bagged the most votes in the Sandeshkhali Assembly seat, the party lost the Basirhat Lok Sabha seat, under which the Sandeshkhali seat falls, to the Trinamool. On Sunday, hours after the BJP leader's rally, a team of officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) visited Sandeshkhali and recorded a statement from a woman who had made allegations against Mr. Shahjahan. Also Read | Sandeshkhali on the boil again over allegations of a woman's abduction The Trinamool leadership took a swipe at the developments and said Mr. Adhikari has set the ground so that the investigating agencies could work accordingly. Speaking at the public rally in Sandeshkhali, Mr. Adhikari alleged that 'Hindu BJP Karyakartas Pradip Mandal, Debdas Mandal and Sukanta Mandal' were killed on June 6, 2019 in Sandeshkhali by 'Trinamool Congress leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his gang'. Mr. Adhikari said that the three were killed in Sandeshkhali for being 'Hindus', similar to the murder of the father-son duo Hargobinda Das and Gobinda Das during the Murshidabad riots of April 2025. COMMENT | Sandeshkhali, the untold story 'I went to Dhulian and Samserganj after a court order. Their family said they voted for the Left parties but the perpetrators didn't kill them because they were leftist. They were killed because they were Hindus,' the BJP leader said. The West Bengal Police had earlier this week filed a chargesheet in the double murder against 13 persons. Mr. Adhikari also once again called for unity among Hindu voters and said that irrespective of caste and other differences, 'Hindus have to unite for the 2026 Assembly election in West Bengal' to defeat the Trinamool Congress.
