The RSS Chief praised the inclusive approach taken in Uttarakhand, where suggestions from nearly 3 lakh people were considered before drafting the final proposal. However, he declined to comment on the University Grants Commission (UGC) issue, noting that the matter is currently sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Addressing the veterans, Bhagwat emphasized that while India is independent, a strong defense force remains essential to protect that freedom. He also spoke about the resilience of the RSS, stating that the organization has progressed through the strength of societal self-confidence despite facing severe sanctions in the past. He concluded by inviting former servicemen to engage with Sangh activities and contribute to social service based on their capabilities. (NDTV)
