The RSS chief cautioned against the perception that social problems are solved solely through agitation. While acknowledging that protests are a natural consequence of administrative shortcomings, Bhagwat emphasized that such actions must aim to find solutions rather than deepen hostility. He urged citizens to ensure their actions remain within the bounds of the Constitution and the law, stating, “Whether it is a section of society staging a protest, the government and administration taking action to maintain peace and order, or political leaders responding to the situation, our actions must not create discord, hostility, resentment or divisions within our united society.”
Bhagwat called for strict regulations on Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and digital media to protect cultural values. He also urged the implementation of drug bans and highlighted the need for unity rooted in the “Hindu spirit.” These remarks were made during the annual address, which traditionally marks the foundation day of the RSS and serves as a platform for the chief to outline the organization’s stance on governance and social issues.
The comments come amid broader discussions on domestic stability and the influence of global political trends. Bhagwat referenced examples from France and Albania to illustrate the risks of “regime change” bids, though specific details regarding these international comparisons were not elaborated upon in the address as reported. He stressed that the RSS remains focused on outreach and maintaining social cohesion while addressing governance concerns.
No immediate legislative action or government response was announced in the provided reports. The next scheduled procedural steps or official announcements regarding the proposed digital media regulations have not been confirmed in the available source material. The address serves as a statement of the RSS’s political and social position for the coming period, focusing on constitutional adherence and cultural preservation.
