Complete disconnect between RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks and what government does: Kapil Sibal

On Saturday (October 12, 2024), the RSS chief said India has become stronger and more respected globally with enhanced credibility over the last few years but sinister conspiracies are testing the country's resolve.

Referring to Mr. Bhagwat's speech, Mr. Sibal said, "Mohan Bhagwat has given a good statement on Vijayadashami. He said that Gods are divided in this country, it should not happen, the saints are divided, it should not happen. It is a country of different religions and languages. Saint Valmiki wrote Ramayana, and hence all the Hindus should celebrate Valmiki Diwas. Why is it not happening?

He said that as long as harmony is achieved, this will remain. I welcome his statement. But I want to ask a few questions, the RSS supports the government which works against your statement," he said at a press conference, in New Delhi.
