New Delhi, Sep 7 (NationPress) The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) raised alarms regarding illegal infiltration in West Bengal, the surge of conversions in Punjab, and the troubling influence of drugs on the youth. These issues were highlighted during the Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak held in Jodhpur, where the need to fortify Indian languages within the education system was also emphasized.
During a press briefing, RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar informed that the three-day meeting brought forth serious concerns regarding West Bengal.
“The evolving situation in Bangladesh is impacting West Bengal significantly. A considerable number of illegal infiltrators reside in Bengal, causing disturbances that must be addressed urgently. Numerous challenges to the security of Hindus and law and order are emerging,” he remarked.
On the situation in the Northeast, Ambekar noted a positive shift. “The separatist movements that once plagued the region are gradually diminishing, paving the way for an environment of growth and development in many sectors,” he stated.
The Sangh also advocated for a more prominent role of Indian languages in educational frameworks, spanning from primary to higher education.
“We consistently request that Indian languages be prioritized in our educational system. Efforts are underway to build consensus with experts and the government to actualize this,” Ambekar explained.
In Punjab, the RSS leader identified conversions and drug-related issues as pressing threats.
“Various organizations have shared insights about the negative impacts stemming from rising conversions and the rampant drug issue among the youth,” he conveyed.
Ambekar also acknowledged the increasing participation of women in Sangh-led initiatives. He recalled that during Operation Sindoor, 887 programs were conducted nationwide by female volunteers to promote patriotism.
He added that entities like Krida Bharti have researched the challenges faced by women athletes, while Vidya Bharati and ABVP are playing significant roles in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) and the Indianisation of education.
