Team News Riveting
Hyderabad, April 28
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday made it clear that the Sangh Parivar never opposed reservations extended to certain groups.
The statement add significance as it had come at a time BJP and Congress are tangled in a war of words on the issue of reservations.
Speaking at a programme at an educational institution in Hyderabad, Mohan Bhagwat said the Sangh thought that the reservations should be extended as long as they were needed. “A video is being circulated that RSS is against reservation and we cannot speak about this outside. Now this is completely false.,” he added.
The Sangh has been supporting all reservations as per the Constitution since the beginning. But some people are circulating false videos,Mohan Bhagwat added.
RSS chief last year in Nagpur said that reservations should continue as long as there was discrimination in society. Discrimination exists in society even though it is invisible, he had added.
