Some forces want to lower India’s image, says Mohan Bhagwat

NAGPUR: In an apparent reference to Rahul Gandhi without naming him, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday criticised the former INC president. “Such unceremonious comments are being closely watched by the common people,” he said.
Gandhi, who is in the US now, criticised the Modi government and questioned India’s democracy while saying “the entire opposition is struggling in India” to put up with the “pressure tactics by way of central enforcement agencies by the government to choke anyone raising voice against the present dispensation”.
Bhagwat said such forces want to lower India’s image. “We should not give such an opportunity to anyone,” he said. The RSS chief said such action was “an outcome of the ego of an individual and it carries its baggage for selfish reasons”.
Bhagwat was speaking at the valedictory function of third year Officers’ Training Course of RSS, here. Without naming any party or individual, he said they are so busy fighting each other that they are actually harming the unity and integrity of the nation.
Lauding India’s presidency of the G20 summit, Bhagwat asserted that nationalism is non-negotiable and called for emotional integrity.
