RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said the organisation's volunteers are firmly deployed in Manipur despite the challenging situation in the strife-torn northeastern state and the absence of any guarantee of security. 

He was speaking at an event to mark the centenary of Shankar Dinkar Kane (also known as Bhaiyaji), who worked in Manipur, focusing on children's education till 1971, bringing students to Maharashtra and arranging for their stay.

Mohan Bhagwat said, the current situation in Manipur is difficult. There is no guarantee of security. Local people are apprehensive about their safety. The situation is even more challenging for those who have gone there for business or social work. But even in such circumstances, the volunteers of the Sangh are firmly deployed, serving both the factions and trying to calm the situation.


The RSS chief said, NGOs cannot handle everything, but the Sangh is making every effort on its part. They are talking to all the parties involved in the conflict. As a result, they have gained the trust of the people. The reason behind this trust is that the local people have seen the work of people like them over the years.

During this, he stressed, we all talk about making India a country that addresses global issues, but this is possible only due to the 'tapasya' (dedication) of people like Kane. The unrest we are seeing today in states like Manipur is the work of some people who want to create obstacles in the path of progress. But their plan will not succeed.

The RSS chief said that when the situation was worse, about 40 years ago, people stayed there, worked and helped change the situation. He said, RSS members, be it volunteers or pracharaks, went there, became part of the field and worked to bring about change. Bhagwat said that it will take two more generations to achieve the dream of India. He said, on the way, we will face obstacles from those who are jealous of India's rise. But we must move ahead by overcoming these obstacles
