 "What happened in our neighbouring Bangladesh? It might have some immediate reasons but those who are concerned will discuss it. But, due to that chaos, the tradition of committing atrocities against Hindus was repeated there. For the first time, Hindus united and came on roads for their protection," Bhagwat said.


 



 


He further added that the radical nature of committing atrocities out of anger is not only affecting Hindus but also putting other minorities in danger.


"They need help from the Hindus from the entire world. It's their need that the govt of India help them... Being weak is a crime. If we are weak, we are inviting atrocity. Wherever we are, we need to be united and empowered," he further said.


Describing the RG Kar incident as "shameful", During a speech, he stated, "...What happened in RG Kar hospital in Kolkata is shameful. But, this is not a single incident... We should be vigilant to not let such incidents happen. But, even after that incident, the way things were delayed, criminals were tried to be protected - this is the result of the alliance between crime and politics."


Mohan Bhagwat performed 'Shastra Pooja' at the RSS headquarters in Nagpur on the occasion of Vijayadashami. Padma Bhushan and former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief K. Radhakrishnan, who is also the chief guest of the event, was seen accompanying the RSS chief.
