Mohan Bhagwat's remarks: What kind of ‘ghar-wapsi' is this for PM: Cong takes dig at PM
The Opposition party termed Bhagwat's remarks as 'good news' and said 'achche din' for the country and its Constitution are going to come as both Bhagwat and Modi are going to go when they turn 75 this year.
During an event in Nagpur , RSS chief Bhagwat mentioned Sangh ideologue late Moropant Pingley's statement about stepping aside after 75 years of age.
Bhagwat specifically referred to Pingley's remarks that when the shawl of 75 years is draped over you, it means that you have reached a certain age and should step aside and let others work.
In a post in Hindi on X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, 'Poor award 'jeevi' Prime Minister! What a homecoming this is - on returning he was reminded by the Sarsanghchalak that he will turn 75 on 17 September 2025.'
'But the Prime Minister can also tell the Sarsanghchalak that - he too will turn 75 on 11 September 2025! One arrow, two targets!' he said.
Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera claimed there has been a wave of excitement and happiness since the time Bhagwat made the remarks.
Referring to Bhagwat's remarks, Khera said, 'This is good news as on September 11 this year Bhagwat will turn 75 and PM Modi will turn 75 on September 17 - for the last 11 years, the condition of the country, Constitution and constitutional institutions has been made such, now we will get relief from that on September 17.'
'On September 11, the first step will be taken as it was this duo that has played with the soul of the country,' Khera said in a video statement.
'So, be happy, because achche din for India, its Constitution, are going to come because Narendra Modi and Mohan Bhagwat are going to go,' he claimed

Independence Day 2025 Live Updates: Country celebrates 79th Independence Day, iconic landmarks across nation glow in tricolour
With India set to celebrate its 79th Independence Day, preparations nationwide reflect both the spirit of the occasion and the security considerations it demands. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to lead the celebrations from the Red Fort under the theme 'Naya Bharat,' the country's diverse regions — from the northeast to the southern states — are poised to observe the day with a blend of tradition, vigilance, and national pride. In Nagaland, the state police and Indian Reserve Battalions have been placed on high alert after insurgent groups NSCN/GPRN (Yung Aung) and ULFA-I called for a boycott of the celebrations. Adding to the situation, the 5-Tribes Committee on Review of Reservation Policy (CoRRP) — representing the Angami, Ao, Lotha, Rengma, and Sumi tribes — announced its decision not to participate in protest against the state's handling of job reservation policy issues. Student bodies in several districts have barred participation by educational institutions, while the state government has made attendance mandatory for government staff. Authorities remain optimistic about peaceful proceedings. From the south, Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar extended heartfelt greetings to citizens. In his message, he urged people to honor the sacrifices of freedom fighters and uphold democratic values, inclusion, and self-reliance, envisioning a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). In the national capital, the Delhi Traffic Police has rolled out an extensive traffic advisory for August 15. Several arterial roads near the Red Fort — the venue of the Prime Minister's address — will be closed between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. Commuters have been advised to use public transport and follow designated alternative routes to avoid congestion. Goods vehicles will face restrictions, and interstate buses will be diverted to keep the central area free for ceremonial activities. Weather conditions in Delhi may feature a cloudy sky and light showers, with temperatures hovering between 23°C and 33°C, according to the India Meteorological Department. The forecast brings both relief and caution for attendees of the main ceremony. Meanwhile, the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) welcomed distinguished guests from the Ayush Ministry and the medicinal plants sector, recognizing their contributions to International Day of Yoga initiatives. Guests participated in interactive discussions, experienced a 'Y-Break' session designed for working professionals, and toured MDNIY's facilities. The program highlighted yoga's integration into daily life as a pathway to discipline, harmony, and service.
