The RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat said that fake rumours were spurring in Bangladesh about India being a threat to its neighbour. 'Narrative being spread in Bangladesh that India is a threat', and that they should join hands with Pakistan to defend themselves, said Bhagwat.

Mohan Bhagwat also brought in the RG Kar rape, murder case where a post-grduate trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered on August 9. “In Kolkata doctor’s rape, some tried to protect criminals; nexus of crime, politics and poisonous culture ruining us,” said Mohan Bhagwat.

“Everyone should participate in mutual festivals and they should become festivals of the entire society,” also said the RSS chief.
