Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has disapproved of the recent Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)-led violence in the Maharashtra state assembly saying that those wanting to voice the problems of the Marathi manoos must not damage the national spirit and harmony of the nation.
“Those who want to change the course of society should be cautious and not cross the limits by doing something that would harm the national spirit and harmony,” Bhagwat said, responding to a question during an interaction with select editors and journalists in Pune.
He also said that each state has its own problems of influx of people from other states.“The RSS will intervene if needed but in such a way that the issue is not aggravated,” he said.
On his maiden visit to Pune after taking charge as the RSS chief, Bhagwat also said that the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) needs a “young face as its new president”, who can set right the party organisation and help it reconnect with the masses.
When asked to comment on BJP Maharashtra unit president Nitin Gadkari’s name being floated as the next BJP president, Bhagwat said that it was for the BJP to take the decision and that the RSS never interferes in its internal matters.
