New Delhi: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat today
said institutions affiliated to his organisation taught
students not to commit atrocities but at the same time to
fight "evil" when required.
Addressing a gathering of students of Sangh-affiliated
Eklavaya schools here, Bhagwat gave an example of an RSS
student interacting with his teacher to drive home his point.
"The student tells his guru that he had not got education
of violence....The education I have got and the education we
are imparting is not one of committing atrocities on others.
Our education is not of madarsas that it would encourage
terrorism," Bhagwat quoted the student as saying.
The RSS Sarsanghchalak said RSS did not teach the language
of violence but at the same time it was aware of "evil" in the
world and the need to defend oneself against them.
"We consider everybody our own and educate others about
this. Since you have taught me not to indulge in fights, I do
not want to fight. I want to accept everybody. But I know
there is evil... People will come to hurt me at times and I
have been taught to defend myself," Bhagwat told his audience
using the same analogy.
The senior leader said once a person learnt this
distinction and was capable of and willing to fight evil, his
education was complete.
