The Assam unit of the RSS includes some districts of Assam, the entire Nagaland and Meghalaya. The conclave assumes significance as three northeastern states — Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura — are going to polls next month and the BJP has been trying to make its presence felt in all the three poll-bound states.

In his speech, Mohan Bhagwat said that Hindutva is one thing that has united Indians despite so much diversity and differences in the country and that the greatness of Hindutva lies in the fact that it accepts and respects all diversity. “Hindutva accepts all schools of thoughts and accepts everyone that comes to its fold,” the RSS chief said.

Referring to Pakistan, Bhagwat said that after partition, “India has forgotten its enmity with Pakistan after 15 August, 1947, but Pakistan is yet to forget its enmity with India.” Rishiraj Bhagwati

Bhagwat also urged swayamsevaks to learn more about the Sangh culture, “The RSS’s strength is not in showing its strength or to scare anyone but it is for strengthening society for the betterment of everyone. Don’t just remain a spectator, a sympathiser; learn to come down and learn the Sangh culture. Mothers and sisters need to send their sons to RSS shakhas and teach them our vision.” Rishiraj Bhagwati
