Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has asked the central government to keep national security in mind while taking a decision on Rohingyas who are seeking shelter in the country.
Addressing the RSS’ annual Dussehra event in Nagpur today, Mr Bhagwat said, India has been facing the problem of illegal Bangladeshi migrants and now Rohingyas have infiltrated into our country. He said, giving shelter to Rohingyas will not only put pressure on our jobs, but also pose a threat to national security.
On the Kashmir issue, Mr Bhagwat said, the problems of the people, who were displaced from the Kashmir Valley in 1990s, are yet to be addressed. He said, necessary constitutional amendments will have to be made and old provisions will have to be changed in Jammu and Kashmir.
The RSS chief referred to the issue of cow vigilantism, saying it is reprehensible that some some people have been killed allegedly by gaurakshaks.
He said that at the same time, many people have been killed by cow smugglers. Mr Bhagwat said, the issue of cow protection is beyond religion and many Muslims have sacrificed their life for protection of the cow just as people of Bajrang Dal have.
On the economic situation, the RSS chief said that the interests of small, medium industries and self-employed businesses should be protected as they make the biggest contribution to the economy.
Mr Bhagwat offered condolences to the victims of the stampede in Mumbai yesterday.
BJP patriarch L K Advani, Union minister Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were among those present at the annual Vijayadashmi Utsav of RSS at Reshimbag ground in Nagpur.
Baba Nirmal Das, Pradhan of Shree Guru Ravidas Sadhusant Society, Jalandhar was the Chief guest at the function.
