‘Being weak is a crime’: Mohan Bhagwat at Dussehra event on violence against Hindus in Bangladesh and rape in Kolkata | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat during the Dussehra event in Nagpur on Saturday strongly criticized anti-Hindu and anti-minority forces operating in Bangladesh. He said: “What happened in our neighboring country Bangladesh? It could be for a number of immediate reasons, but those who are concerned will discuss this. But because of that chaos, the tradition of committing crimes has disappeared atrocities in return for Hindus was repeated there.”
“For the first time the Hindus united and took up roads for their protection. But by the time this radical nature of committing atrocities out of anger comes, not only Hindus but all minorities will be in danger,” Bhagwat added.
Bhagwat said there is a need for global Hindu support for those affected and urged the Indian government to provide relief, adding: “Being weak is a crime. When we are weak, we invite cruelty. Wherever we are, we must be united and strong.”

Commenting on the stories doing the rounds in Bangladesh, Bhagwat said, “Such discussions are going on in Bangladesh that we have a threat from India and that is why we have to side with Pakistan, since they have a nuclear weapon, we can stop India … If we know which countries encourage such discussions and narratives, we don’t need to mention their names. It is their desire to create such conditions in India too. Such industries are run to stop India. Marxism are a few words up for debate. I also talked about it last year.

Making an indirect comment on the Bengal government while handling the RG Kar rape-murder case, Bhagwat said, “In the doctor’s rape in Kolkata, some tried to protect criminals; the nexus between crime, politics and toxic culture has destroyed us .”
He also expressed concern over the spread of divisive narratives aimed at destabilizing Indian society. Bhagwat said: “We have such a large and diverse society – to create that diversity as division, or to create division even if there is no diversity, but to make them think that we are diverse and therefore we are aloof – by telling such stories – towards agitating people, to create an environment where society loses trust and no longer respects government, law and order and government – ​​it helps in establishing supremacy over the country by staying abroad.

Referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict, he said, “Situations are sometimes challenging and sometimes good… Human life is materially happier than before, but we see that in this happy and developed human society many struggles continue. The war that started between Israel and Hamas – everyone is worried about how wider it will be and what impact it will have on others.”
