If we stay united, nobody will dare look at us with crooked eyes: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
Two days after India witnessed one of the biggest terror attacks in several years, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday called for 'Sangha Shakti' (strength of unity) and said if we remain together, nobody will dare to look at us with crooked eyes. Pointing at the massive wave of anger across the country after the Pahalgam terror attack, Bhagwat said, 'People setting aside their caste, community and religion have come together to express their anger… The unity amongst people as Indians should become the mainstay and permanent nature and character… And if anybody dares, their eyes will be gouged.' Speaking at an award function in Mumbai where he gave the Lata Mangeshkar Award to Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of Aditya Birla Group, to honour and acknowledge the immense contribution made by him in shaping India's growth story, the RSS chief observed that when people share sentiments and warmth it helps to keep the society connected together. 'In this era of 'Kaliyug', 'Sangha Shakti' is of immense significance. Staying together is the biggest strength. After the terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, there is a massive wave of anger in people across the country,' he said. 'Differences and separation lead to distances. When you hold to oneness it inculcates intimacy, togetherness and unity,' he said, adding that the world has only one religion and that is humanity and this religion of humanity is called Hindu religion. Speaking on the occasion, Birla said, 'I am deeply honoured to receive an award named after Bharat Ratna Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar. It is all the more overwhelming and proud moment to receive the award at the hands of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.' Reiterating the Mangeshkar family's commitment to Hindutva and cultural nationalism, Hridaynath Mangeshkar profusely thanked Bhagwat for attending the event as chief guest.
