Mohan Bhagwat Dedicated His Life To Societal Transformation, Says PM As RSS Chief Turns 75

In a glowing piece that appeared in several newspapers on Thursday on Bhagwat's 75th birthday, Modi said he is a living example of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and has dedicated his entire life to societal transformation and strengthening the spirit of harmony and fraternity.

Noting that it is a pleasant coincidence that this year that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's 100 year journey on Vijaya Dashami will fall on the same day as the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, he said the Hindutva organisation has a very wise and hardworking head in Bhagwat.

He has shown that when people rise above boundaries and consider everyone as their own, it strengthens trust, brotherhood and equality in society, the prime minister said.
