Dattatreya Hosabale was re-elected as Sarkaryavah of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the three-day-long annual Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, concluded in Nagpur on Sunday. He has been unanimously re-elected as Sarkaryavah for the next three years (2024-2027).
In RSS, Sarkaryavah (General Secretary) is the top executive position, while the RSS chief, ‘Sar Sanghachalak,’ is the honorary head of the organization. After his re-election, Hosabale nominated a new executive committee with six saha sarkaryavahas. They are Krishna Gopal, Mukund, Arun Kumar, Ramdutt Chakradhar, Atul Limaye, and Alok Kumar.
Hosabale said that elections are a significant festival of democracy. It is essential to strengthen the nation’s democracy, unity, and maintain the pace of progress. Swayamsevaks of the RSS will spread awareness for cent percent polling. The society should be vigilant so that there is no aspect of enmity, separatism, divisive attempts, or anything that goes against unity.
He also observed that the impact of RSS work is visible in society today. There is a sense of being blessed and gratitude for the society’s affinity towards Sangh. He pointed out that key issues like environmental protection and Samajik samarasata (social harmony) are for the entire society and not just for any single organization.
He deplored that there are still a few incidents of social discrimination and untouchability observed in society. Their impact is very minimal among urban areas. There should not be any discrimination related to lakes, wells, temples, and crematoriums in society.
On the widespread usage of the term minority, he emphasized that the Sangh opposes minoritism in politics. Right from the second Sar Sanghchalak, all the Sar Sanghchalaks had worked towards coordination with Muslims and Christians. The recent disturbances in Manipur were painful and made deep marks. RSS is working in both the communities involved, Meities and Kukis. We have tried to normalize the situation by talking to the leaders of both communities, and our efforts have been successful, he said.
