RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said conflicts between countries should not permanently damage bilateral relations, asserting that nations such as Pakistan and China should not be viewed as India’s “wholehearted enemies”. He said disputes may temporarily put ties on hold, but should not bring them to an end.
Speaking at an event, Bhagwat said bilateral ties could be suspended until conflicts are resolved, but severing relations altogether was not the answer. He added that state politics often plays a role in shaping relations between countries.

“In times of conflict, we should not spoil bilateral ties. They can be put on hold till the issue is resolved, but they cannot be severed. Conflicts may halt ties, but they should not end them. It is not that Pakistan and China are our wholehearted enemies. State politics also plays a role,” he said.
Bhagwat also said people should stand with the government during times of conflict, while stressing that humanity ultimately transcends political divisions.
“During conflict, we are with the government, but we also know that sometimes we have to become one. Humanity is one,” he said.
