New Delhi: Amid targeted attacks on the Hindu minority community in Bangladesh, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said Hindus living there were being subjected to violence for no reason, and added that our country has the responsibility to ensure they do not face any injustice and atrocities.
He was speaking after hoisting the national flag at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Mahal area here on the occasion of Independence Day. “The coming generation has the duty to protect the ‘swa’ of the ‘swatantrata’ (freedom) because there are always people in the world who want to dominate other countries and we have to be alert and careful, and protect ourselves from them,” he said.
The situation does not remain the same all the time. Sometimes it is good, while it is not so good at others. These ups and downs will continue, he said. “We can see the situation now. A lot violence is taking place in the neighbouring country and Hindus living there are facing the heat without any reason,” he said without naming Bangladesh. “India has the tradition of helping others. We have seen in the last few years that India has never attacked anyone, but helped those who were in trouble irrespective of how they behave with us,” the RSS chief said.
