NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed the organisation’s annual Vijayadashami event in Nagpur on Tuesday, marking the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).In his speech at the Sangh headquarters, Bhagwat touched upon a range of issues, from social concerns to current geopolitical challenges.Earlier in the day, he performed shastra puja (weapon worship) at the RSS’s Vijayadashami Utsav in Nagpur.Here are the key quotes from Bhagwat’s address:“India is a land of diversity; our traditional character has been to accept and protect this diversity.”“When our country was reeling under the attacks of foreign invaders, when they were unleashing terror on those who followed ‘svadharma’ here, and there was an atmosphere of terror, Sant Ravidas spread the message of ‘svadharma nishtha’, social harmony, and devotion. Through the example of his own life, he comforted society at the time and boosted its morale, while upholding its values.”
