07 Jul 2025, 22:36 GMT+10
New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) three-day All India Pracharak Meeting, held at Delhi's Keshav Kunj, concluded on July 6.
The event commenced on July 4. The meeting primarily focused on planning the centenary year celebrations of the RSS, scheduled to begin nationwide in October.
However, the discussions extended well beyond the Sangh's internal programs, touching upon several pressing national and international matters.
According to sources, apart from centenary celebrations, the meeting also deliberated on attacks on Hindu temples in Canada and the United States, as well as on the persecution of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh.
Issues such as illegal infiltration from Bangladesh and religious conversions were also discussed. The meeting reviewed the Sangh's efforts to restore peace in the violence-hit state of Manipur.
Another topic of discussion was the situation in border states during Operation Sindoor. Pracharaks working in these regions shared their perspectives on the situation arising from Indo-Pak tensions, and the meeting explored possible roles that RSS volunteers could play under such circumstances.
The meeting also touched upon the current political climate in India. Discussions were held on how to reduce caste and linguistic divides caused by political polarisation and to strengthen the social fabric. Emphasis was laid on promoting social harmony.
The meeting saw participation from RSS pracharaks from all 11 zones and 46 provinces. RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat and Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale led it. (ANI)

‘Babua' agitated over exposure of loot,corruption under previous govt: Yogi
1 2 Gorakhpur/Azamgarh: Launching a veiled attack on SP chief Akhilesh Yadav over corruption in JPNIC project, Chief Minister Adityanath on Wednesday said "a CBI inquiry is ongoing into the project and that is why 'Babua' is furious about the exposure of loot and corruption". Although the CM didn't name the SP chief in his speech, the reference was obvious. Launching a massive plantation drive in the state by planting saplings in Gorakhpur, Ayodhya and Azamgarh, the CM attacked the previous SP govt and cited figures related to Purvanchal Expressway and JPNIC and said the revelation of corruption left 'Babua' that rampant corruption and loot was witnessed in the implementation of schemes before 2017, Yogi said: "The SP govt gave tender for the 341-kilometre-long and 110-metre-wide Purvanchal Expressway for Rs 15,200 crore. In contrast, the BJP's double-engine govt increased the width to 120 metres, re-tendered it, and reduced the cost to Rs 11,800 crore." "Those who engaged in corruption are now giving sermons. JP (Jayaprakash Narayan) was known for value-based politics and opposing nepotism, but the SP govt tarnished his name. The JPNIC project, initially costing Rs 200 crore, incurred expenses of Rs 860 crore by March 2017 without completion, prompting a CBI investigation. 'Babua' who was talking about ethics is now agitated by the exposure of corruption," he said. The CM criticised parties questioning the BJP govt, saying that they even "question the campaign of planting 37 crore saplings in a day, while they did nothing when given the opportunity". "They used schemes to plunder public money. Our govt introduced 'One District One Product' and 'One District One Crop', while the SP, Congress, and BSP govts gave 'One District, One Mafia', spreading venom in society in the name of nepotism and firing on the devotees of Lord Ram," Yogi said. He said that under previous govts, forest mafia conducted illegal logging, mining mafias engaged in illegal excavations, and land mafias seized the property of the poor. "There was chaos in the state. Today, the govt has implemented a zero-tolerance policy against mafias across the state. Before 2017, the youth of the state faced an identity crisis. Today, when a person from UP goes outside, the mention of their connection to the state brings a smile to the face of the listener," he said. During his visit to Azamgarh, where he planted a Harishankari Vatika along the expressway in Kerma village, Yogi issued a warning to anti-social and anti-national elements, asserting that the govt was taking decisive action against those involved in such activities. Citing the arrest of Chhangur Baba in Balrampur, who is accused of orchestrating mass conversions, the CM said, "We apprehended a criminal yesterday who was exploiting Hindu women. Such elements are now being dealt with sternly. We will not allow society to fragment. We will crush all anti-national and anti-social forces." Referring to the period before 2017, the CM said that large-scale deforestation and illegal mining by forest and mining mafias led to lawlessness and environmental degradation. "There was no development, only destruction. In contrast, our govt's initiative is transforming heatwaves into greenwaves. Azamgarh has sent many prominent leaders to Parliament but it was only after Nirahua became MP that expressways, a university in the name of Maharaja Suheldev, a music college, and extensive road networks became a reality," the CM said.

State to bring law against religious conversion: Min
Mumbai: Revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule told the state assembly on Wednesday that the govt was planning a strong law against religious conversion. He also announced a committee headed by a divisional commissioner to examine complaints of unauthorised churches in Nandurbar district and proceed with demolishing those found illegal. "We will bring in a strong law and so no one will dare to undertake religious conversion," said Bawankule, amid complaints by BJP MLAs about "forcible conversions to Christianity" in the tribal belt of Dhule and Nandurbar. Meanwhile, tribal welfare minister Sanjay Uike said his department would try to bring the tribals who converted to Christianity back into the fold. "We will remind them of the benefits they have gained with their adivasi caste status," he said. The issue was raised in the assembly by BJP MLA Anup Agarwal who complained about "forcible conversions" of Bhil tribals in Nandurbar to Christianity by offering inducements including medical aid. He said there were 199 unauthorised churches in Navapur taluka according to an RTI response. "When will the illegal churches be demolished and when will the state bring a law to prevent forcible conversions?" he asked. Bawankule said the home department had already received a report on this issue and the Supreme Court had also given a classification of unauthorised religious structures which could be regularised or demolished. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

"Strong action should be taken against them since they no longer follow the Adivasi traditions and faith," he said. BJP MLA Atul Bhatkalkar asked when the state would bring in a law against love jihad. BJP MLA and former minister Sudhir Mungantiwar alleged, "Money coming to institutions from overseas is used for religious conversions and the percentage of Hindus in the population has declined. We need to see how strong the laws are against religious conversion in other countries." BJP MLA Gopichand Padalkar demanded that action should be taken against govt employees who got the job on the basis of quota and then changed their religion. Bawankule said he would speak to CM Devendra Fadnavis about an inquiry on the issue. Bawankule said some of the larger issues about laws in other countries and how to bring converts back into the Adivasi faith and tradition could be discussed between Adivasi MLAs and the tribal welfare minister and they could give their recommendations.
