Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat will be visiting Jammu and Kashmir for the first time since the state was bifurcated into two Union Territories. Bhagwat will be on a three-day visit to the Union Territory from October 1 to October 3.
According to a functionary, the visit had been planned for long. “This is a routine visit which is part of the sarsanghchalak’s (Bhagwat) itinerary. Earlier, because of the Covid restrictions he could not travel but now he’s going to Jammu for three days to take part in meetings related to organisational issues of the Sangh. He will also address a meeting of eminent personalities, which again is a routine outreach programme,” the functionary said.
The RSS chief is also scheduled to meet pracharaks and heads of RSS affiliates working in Jammu and Kashmir. He will be closely taking a look at the work done at the ground level. The senior official further said, “We focus on society and its concerns and this visit is significant in light of the improved situation in the Union Territory. A stocktaking of activities will also be done.”
The visit comes at a time when the Sangh has begun to gradually restart its Shakhas and in-person activities. It also comes ahead of next month’s Karyakarni Mandal meeting scheduled to take place in Karnataka’s Dharwad.
The meeting will be held between October 28-30.
