A Ram Mandir-style movement is not required in every situation: RSS

The ideological parent organisation of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, said on Sunday that public protests similar to those started to raise funds for the building of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya were neither essential nor needed for anything.

The current disputes between the Gyanvapi mosque and the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, as well as the Shahi Idgah mosque and the Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura, were mentioned. The RSS also argued for reconsidering the definition of minorities as defined by the Indian Constitution, pointing out that it created societal divides to refer to a certain group of people.

Speaking after his three-year stint as RSS general secretary, Dattatreya Hosabale said that electoral bonds were an experiment and that it would take time to determine if they had been successful. After the building of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which is now considered a golden chapter in Indian history according to an RSS resolution, Hosabale made a strategically significant statement stating that not everything should be addressed with the same level of care as the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign.

It’s not required. The court case concerns the difficulties surrounding the mosques at Shahi Idgah and Gyanvapi. There is no reason for agitation if the court decides to settle the situation.Under the direction of the religious-social leadership, Hindu society would take any necessary action with respect to Kashi and Mathura, he said on the second day of the All India Pratinidhi Sabha meeting of the RSS, the Sangh’s top decision-making body.

Hosabale said that labeling a group of people as a minority causes rifts in society. “The Constitution’s definition of minorities has to be reconsidered. To whom belongs this country? Everyone owns it. However, there has been a long-standing tendency for many decades to refer to certain populations as minorities. According to him, Sangh is against minority-sm politics.

Hosabale, a native of Shivamogga, was re-elected by the RSS gathering today to serve as its general secretary for a further three years. Hosabale took over as general secretary of the RSS after Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi served four terms till 2021.

Every three years, Sar Karyavah, who is second in leadership after RSS chairman Mohan Bhagwat, is put up for reelection. Following his re-election, Hosabale said that the Sangh has not yet addressed the issue of electoral bonds. “Checks and balances have been used in the election bond process. It’s not like we’ve just implemented electoral bonds today. They were also brought earlier. There are always questions when a change is made. When EVMs were first presented, questions were also raised.It’s normal to have questions. However, only time will tell how useful and successful the new approach is, he said.
