RSS Voices Concerns on Illegal Infiltration in West Bengal, Drug Abuse in Punjab, and More at Jodhpur Meet
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has raised serious alarms about illegal infiltration in West Bengal, rising religious conversions in Punjab, and the growing drug problem among youth. During their three-day Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak in Jodhpur, RSS leaders also stressed the importance of boosting Indian languages in education. RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar shared these insights in a press briefing, highlighting key issues that affect India’s social fabric.
Ambekar pointed out the tense situation in West Bengal, linking it to ongoing changes in Bangladesh. "Illegal infiltrators have flooded Bengal, creating major disturbances. We must stop this right away to protect Hindu security and maintain law and order," he said. This infiltration concern has sparked widespread discussions on border security and communal harmony in the region.
Shifting focus to the Northeast, Ambekar brought some positive news. Separatist movements that once plagued the area are now fading, paving the way for progress and development. "The atmosphere is improving, and many regions are seeing real growth," he added, offering hope for India’s northeastern states.
On education, the RSS strongly advocates for Indian languages to play a bigger role from primary schools to universities. "We’ve been pushing for this for a long time. We’re working with experts and the government to build consensus and make it happen," Ambekar explained. This push aligns with efforts to promote Indian languages in education, supporting the National Education Policy (NEP) and cultural preservation.
In Punjab, the RSS highlighted two pressing problems: increasing religious conversions and drug abuse ravaging the youth. "Various organizations shared stories of how conversions and drugs are harming our society, especially the younger generation," Ambekar noted. These issues, including drug abuse in Punjab and religious conversions, demand urgent attention to safeguard the state’s future.
Ambekar also celebrated the rising role of women in RSS-inspired activities. He mentioned Operation Sindoor, where women volunteers organized 887 programs nationwide to boost patriotism. Groups like Krida Bharati are studying challenges faced by women athletes, while Vidya Bharati and ABVP are actively implementing NEP and driving the Indianisation of education. This shows how RSS initiatives empower women and contribute to national development.
Overall, the Jodhpur meeting underscores RSS’s commitment to addressing social challenges like illegal infiltration, drug abuse, and education reforms across India.
