The three-day all-India coordination meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) concluded on Sunday. This meeting, held in Jodhpur, addressed the situations in several states, with particular emphasis on Punjab, West Bengal, and the Northeast, especially Manipur.
During the final day of the meeting, National Publicity Head Sunil Ambekar detailed the discussions in a press conference. The meeting raised concerns about drug use and religious conversions in Punjab. The RSS is working to prevent religious conversions by collaborating with the backward classes. Extensive discussion was held on religious conversions and the escalating substance abuse among the youth in Punjab.
The meeting explored the detrimental effects of drugs in Punjab and the role of various RSS organizations in guiding young people. It also deliberated on providing counseling and rehabilitation to those ensnared in drug-related issues.
Serious concerns were expressed during the meeting regarding Bangladeshi infiltrators in West Bengal. The meeting emphasized the need to prevent illegal entry and settlement of Bangladeshi immigrants in India. The disruptive activities of Bangladeshi immigrants against local residents in Bengal were deemed unacceptable.
It was stated that the disturbances created by Bangladeshi and Rohingya citizens in West Bengal must be stopped immediately. The meeting discussed the recent unrest caused by Bangladeshis in the border areas of West Bengal, and legal actions have been taken.
Special focus was given to the Northeast. It was noted that separatist movements and violence are decreasing, alongside improvements and developments in the region. Several affiliated organizations of the RSS are actively working in the Northeast.
Sunil Ambekar mentioned that the RSS is striving to enhance coordination among diverse tribal groups. Efforts are underway to mend relations and promote harmony between the Meitei and Kuki communities in Manipur. He noted that recent discussions between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Kuki community led to the reopening of National Highway 2 for the Meitei community, and the RSS believes this fosters trust and hopes for a swift return to normalcy.
The meeting also addressed the floods in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal, and Uttarakhand. Sunil Ambekar reported that RSS volunteers are providing assistance to the affected people day and night.
