A resolution on Hindus attacked in Bangladesh, a discussion on the fuel price hike and a strategy ahead of five state elections are on the agenda of a three-day meet of the BJP’s ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Karnataka.
Addressing presspersons at the Vidya Kendra located at Garag in Dharwad taluk on Tuesday, RSS National Prachar Pramukh (Publicity in-charge) Sunil Ambekar said that meaningful patriotic programmes as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, promoting Swadeshi products and finalising programmes to mark the centenary year celebrations of the sangha in 2025 are also on the agenda.
The meeting in Dharwad from Thursday to Saturday is the first in-person gathering of the RSS leadership in two years. Last year, the RSS national executive was cancelled because of Covid.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and its number two leader Dattatreya Hosabale will be among more than 350 functionaries set to attend the national executive.
BJP General Secretary BL Santhosh will also be a part of this meet.
Representatives of the RSS said that a resolution on Hindus under attack in Bangladesh is likely at the end of the meeting.
Other issues listed on the agenda include a roadmap of programmes ahead of India’s 75th year of independence and an assessment of the RSS’s Covid-related relief work over the past two years.
The RSS to disscuss on the spiralling fuel prices in the country
An increase in fuel prices has affected not only those who have their own vehicle but also those who don’t own one.
Rising fuel prices impact citizens’ lives because steep fuel prices lead to higher inflation. It affects prices of other essential goods.
The value of essential commodities like food , medicines etc have been adversely affected by a rise in fuel prices.
As a part of the unlisted agenda for discussion, the RSS is also likely to take up the spiralling fuel prices in the country.
Sources say that the organisation feels the need to strike a balance between the government’s revenue generation and people’s interest.
The RSS is likely to suggest to the government better communication and better solutions to check the unending price hike.
