The RSS chief was also quoted as saying that the Sangh Parivar does not believe in discrimination. "No discrimination and oneness of our nation and oneness of the world is our goal," said another tweet by Prakash quoting Bhagwat. He told the diplomats that RSS runs 1.70 lakh service projects in various fields, including health, education, rural development, and invited them to visit these projects. On relationship with the BJP, the RSS chief reiterated that the Sangh does not interfere in the party's affairs.
