Jammu, Oct 17: In his annual Vijaydashmi address, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat highlighted threats emanating from Taliban controlled Afghanistan.
Although Sangh Parivar is repeatedly airing its concern over Afghanistan's development, the RSS chief during the annual Dussehra address is significant in the sense Vijaydashmi's speech of Sarsanghchalak (RSS chief) is always considered as next year’s agenda of the Parivar.
“Another situation, which was not entirely surprising, but occurred before the expectation, is the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan”, he said, adding, “Their predisposition - passionate fanaticism, tyranny and terrorism in the name of Islam - is sufficient to make everyone apprehensive of the Taliban.
But now China, Pakistan, and Turkey have coalesced in an unholy coalition with the Taliban”.
“Since Abdali, our north-western borders are once again a matter of serious concern. Taliban has time and again alternated between Kashmir and peace talks simultaneously”, the RSS chief cautioned, adding, “ This is an indicator that we cannot retire in complacency. Our military preparedness on the borders needs to be alert and sound on all ends and at all times”.
Bhagwat emphasized that in such a situation, the internal security and stability of the country must be secure Highlights of RSS chief’s address
• Our journey is to be from Swadheenata (independence/Self-rule) to Swa-tantrata (Self model of governance).
• Clandestine, uncontrolled currency like Bitcoin has the potential to destabilise the economy of all countries and pose serious challenges.
• Bharatiya economic paradigm emphasises control over consumption. The human being is a mere trustee of the material resources, not the possessor.
• Population policy should be considered once again, the policy should be made for the next 50 years, and it should be implemented equally, population imbalance has become a problem.
• Terrorists in J&K have restarted the spate of targeted killings of national-minded citizens especially Hindus – to destroy their morale and reestablish the reign of terror in the valley. Efforts for curbing and finishing off the terrorist activities needs speeding up.
• Sanatan Hindu culture and its magnanimous Hindu society that has the ability to accept all, alone can be the saviour of the world from the catastrophic grip of radicalism, intolerance, terrorism, conflict, animosity and exploitation.
He emphasized that efforts for curbing and finishing off the terrorist activities needs speeding up. “The injustices such as the exclusive appropriation of Hindu religious sites for decades and centuries, handing over of the operations to the non-devotees/irreligious, unethical heretics despite the State being ‘secular’ must be expunged”, he said.
“It is also necessary and only reasonable that the operating rights of Hindu temples be handed over to the Hindu devotees and the wealth of the Hindu temples is utilised for the worship of the deities and the welfare of the Hindu community only”, Bhagwat said. |
