RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat said the situation prevailing in Manipur was difficult and there was no surety of safety. At an event he was speaking to mark the centenary year of Shankar Dinkar Kane (Bhaiyyaji), who worked in Manipur and Nagaland and focused on children’s education and opened schools for the students.
Shankar Dinkar Kane worked towards children’s education until 1971 in Manipur. He also brought students to Maharashtra and arranged for their stay. Bhaiyyaji started Purva Seema Vikash Prathisthan (PSVP) with the objective of national integration through Education.
Bhagwat said, ‘The situation prevailing in Manipur is difficult. There is no guarantee of safety. The locals are doubtful about their security. For those who have gone there for business or work, the situation is even more challenging. But even in such conditions, the swayamsevaks of the Sangh are firmly stationed, serving people and are trying to settle the situation’.
He further said that the RSS swayamsevaks neither ever fled from the state nor sat idle. Instead, they have been working to normalize the situation and reduce conflict between the two groups so that a sense of national unity remains intact’. Dr Bhagwat said, ‘The unrest we are witnessing in states like Manipur today is the work of some people who want to obstruct the path of progress. But their plan will not succeed’.
He said, ‘When the situation was worse, some 40 years ago, people said, worked stayed, worked there and helped in changing the situation. ‘Sangh members, be it swayamsevaks or pracharaks, went there, became part of the region, and worked to bring change and peace’ said Mohan Bhagwat.
