Mohan Bhagwat After J&K Attack

Mohan Bhagwat After J&K Attack

New Delhi: In a veiled message after the Pahalgam terror attacks in which 26 people were killed, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has said non-violence is India’s religion and a key part of its values, but so is teaching a lesson to “oppressors and hooligans”.  Speaking at an event to mark the release of the book ‘The Hindu Manifesto’ in New Delhi on Saturday, Mr Bhagwat also gave the example of Ravan and said he was killed not to harm him but for his own good.  “We never harm or disrespect our neighbours but if someone is bent on being evil, what is the cure?

Some …
