He also said that obstacles hinder our Sanatana Dharma are created by forces who are inimical to Bharat’s unity and progress .They spread fake narratives, encourage anarchy, engage in criminal acts, foment terror, conflict and social unrest. Though change is the rule of the nature , one should be firm on Sanatan Dharma.

The RSS chief further said India should have a population policy prepared after comprehensive thought and be applicable to all communities equally.
